bit cramped for the station but you could get away with only two platforms
and the centre road without.  As for Heatherdale, move it to the other side
of Heatherdale Rd.  It should fit through the cutting.  Doing this would
also make a good time to do some grade seperation between Box Hill and
Ringwood.


I don't like this idea. 
Being a regular patron of this station I would miss the wonderful view of
MT Donna Buang from the up platform if the station moved.

The Scoresby Freeway is proposed to pass under this line between
Heatherdale and Ringwood. One would hope that provision for a third line is
made on the new bridge.
