Installing Automatic doors would be nice, but so would installing turnstiles at least up to the platform areas.

I notice how long the platforms are I might be wrong but tracks 2 and 5 seem to be longer than the middle 3 and 4. More entrances and waiting areas that are properly ventilated along those might work. But let’s face it we got them new silver doors lol that’s their improvement

The Long term goal is to restore the southern portion of the station, which would allow for 2 full length trains to occupy each track. Only track 5 can fully handle that at the moment. The Southern portion will also be connected to Prudential via a New Bridge and Station head house.
