Remember that Box Hill also has a never-used 4th platform, put in when
the new shopping centre etc. was built several years back. Of course, we
can always hope :-) that at some time in the future the triplicated track
may reach Blackburn, or even Ringwood, if the problem of Laburnum could
be solved...
