Hi all,
I was wondering how much of benefit the railways have with stations having 2 platforms instead of having a single one? I know this could be like asking how long is a piece of string, but I'm thinking in terms of time saved, less delays, passenger circulation etc. against the cost of adding a new platform/rail.
I guess an example would be adding platforms to stations on the Borders Railway at Brunstane and Newcraighall where there is a 2nd track on the otherside of the single platform.
I hope my question makes sense and isn't too ambiguous!
