True.
OTOH if you need to change to a train going the other way around the loop
(say, you come in from the west and want to change at flagstaff to a train
going to spencer) you can do it cross-platform.
The more I think about it, the more logical it seems to have the group that
doesn't have direct trains (CHL) be the one that reverses direction around
the
loop.
