One has to wonder why that wasn't done at the same time as they laid the
extra track just north of the platform. Presumably platform 2 will have
to be closed *again* while those works are going on.

I expect because the works just done were part of the NLR improvement
project for the enhanced WLL frequency, and the work yet to be done is part
of the SLL project. A different type of money probably...
