of inconvenience...

No way!.. how can you fit trains in between the 3-4 mins gaps on platform 2
& 3 and platform 14 looks like its going to be swallowed by the Fed. Square
construction, looks like theres stuff going on right above the platform
which would kinda make it dangerous??? So I don't have an idea what platform
they will use.. maybe platform 1 west?
