2 questions-
When they double track through Andover & Balardvale, will second platforms be built on the other side of the track? Andover I think they can sqeeze one in, Ballardvale may have to rip up part of the opposing apartment parking lot.
Why was the second track removed in the first place. (this was '88 or '89ish from what i've heard) There was no Downeaster then so that took away quite a bit of traffic, but just to clarify because It doesn't seem to be a smart move to take out such a large portion of double track that could be used to keep delays down, run trains more frequently, and better accomodate Guilford traffic
