I visitted the show on Sunday 5/4, and I got the same impression, i.e. the
arrangements were working reasonably well.

Just one aspect of the operations that I would take issue with though.
Wouldn't it be better and easier to have arriving passengers leaving via the
outside platforms (1&4), with departing passengers leaving via the middle
platforms (2&3) - that way, you could just pile everybody onto the middle
platform, and there would be no people going to the wrong platfrom, and
running when they find out they are on the wrong side (as I saw happen a few
times).
