I don't think they will put terminating platforms at either Kingsgrove or
Padstow. But they may relocate points at Kingsgrove at the Sydenham/Wolli
Creek side end (to terminate the Airport Line trains when Amplication Stage
1 is completed) as they tear out the East Hills side end today.

You are right that Riverwood and Padstow used to have points, but I think
they tear it out about 10 years ago. But Kingsgrove used to have points at
Sydenham side until they relocated at at the East Hills end, about 10 years
ago.

Only Kingsgrove Station will have 'temporary platforms' on the new Suburban
East Hills Line when the Local East Hills shuts down temporary in September.

Hope this helps.
