That's correct. Even though they were adjacent, the two stations were
entirely separate entities.

They are next to 13/14 that are there already. The goods lines were
moved towards the road to make room for platforms 15/16. There is
already part of the platform facing put into place, as well as room for
the tracks. I don't know if the track will actually be laid, or the
platforms left unused until some later date.
