Not many places though where you have trains going to umpteen destinations
off the one platform, thus meaning large crowds still on the platform when
you are trying to leave (Strathfield platform 6, for example, has trains
going to Hornsby, Penrith, Riverstone and Campbelltown leaving off it in the
peak - the closest comparison in Melbourne would be the underground
stations, and they are straight).
