All stations between North Sydney and Chatswood have enough land area to
support 4 tracks. That was part of the standard arrangement for when the
land was originally purchased at the time of duplication.

Chatswood can't support 4 above-ground platforms anymore unless the bus
interchange is reduced, but 3 tracks is easy since platform 1 is still there
and has not had any demolition work performed.

Craig.
