Been meaning to throw this out for awhile now...
With platform 3 all but commissioned, I've been wondering a couple of points: a) Will they stick with the weird platform numbering....2-1-3? b) Why on earth is it so looooong? Seriously, I know it needs the overrun protection, but it's at least as long as platform 1's, but platform 3 is quite a good few metres longer, about a car or two longer.

A longer platform allows a higher approach speed without adversely affecting the 'Moorgate protection'.
IOW - it can come in quicker without being checked as much by the 'policemen'.
