Because the platforms are being lengthened for *10* carriage trains, which isn't a multiple of 4. And they're being lengthened to fit 10 carriage trains because they can't squeeze any more in without *very* expensive work with things like acquiring land, moving roads and bridges, and demolishing houses. -- David Cantrell | Reality Engineer, Ministry of Information I hate baby seals.
