The station's designed for 4 car trains, but has longer platforms so

As far as I can tell they're only widening the 4 car length that'll be
in regular use, plus demolishing a corner of the building to get
access to the extra width.


I thought they were planning for 6-car trains in the mid-term future.
I suppose they just want to get the damn thing open now though...
