How much too short is the platform?
Could you fix it with partial demolition of the station building, or would it require total demolition..
I assume having to add another track to the adjacent bridge over the road would be prohibitive.....unless there was an operational gain from being able to operate the branch without affecting the down Southend line??
A new bridge & trackwork would solve most of the problems, but platform 4 is also used in the AM to facilitate an easy interchange for London-bound passengers.....
As for the lengths, both just over 100 metres, & demolition of the station buildings wouldn't be a good idea either.
