Unfortunately, it doesn't look like much in terms of capacity improvements will be done, and the station will continue to suffer from narrow platform widths towards the middle, where most people stand.
One interesting improvement is the lengthening of both the center and side platforms from their current 11-car lengths to 12 cars. Does anyone know why White Plains didn't originally get 12-car high platforms like all the other stations from Mt Vernon West to North White Plains? It's not like there wasn't room.
