: does anyone know what the world is happening behind platform 14 at flinders

None, you could link platform 3 but now that all the concrete sleeper points are
in I don't think they will.  

They will either make one of the platform roads (4 or 5) free on weekdays and
do what they did last time or they will just no run trains through the loop (I
don't think so)

I always thought it was stupid removing the connection from Platform 6 to the 
Northern Loop, it was good adding the connection from Platform 4, but having
all three platforms connected would have been better now.

What are they going to do with Platfrom 10,12 & 13?
