How about building another platform, as at Wolverhampton and Rugby, or
is there something sacred about the Cambridge layout?

There are apparently plans for an island platform, but that may be more
because they want to shift the terminus a couple of miles north to
Chesterton Sidings.

Alternatively there are some people who think the island platform scheme is
designed to scupper Chesterton Parkway, as if you get one you won't need the
other. But understanding rail conspiracy theories is beyond me, so please
don't shoot the messenger!
