Were they going to reconstruction platform 1 which is currently used by
Clifton Hill Group trains?  I suppose when the reconstruction is in
progress, passengers would have to use platform 14 which is now only
used for special occasions.  I don't think platform 2 and 3 can handle
Clifton Hill group trains during the peak in addition to their normal
allocation of Burnley group trains.

As for platform 4 or 5, I did hear a rumour that platform will not be
reconstructed.  Can anyone confirm this??

Cheers,
