Why does it have lawns on most of the platforms? I don't think I've
seen these anywhere else.


I assume its cheaper than Tarmac and there are never enough passengers
to need the space anyhow.. Such lawns were a feature of the old Epsom
Downs station which only saw crowds on one or two days per year.

Which raises two points - why no yellow lines and why position a
signal half-way along the platfomr?
