Was the platform that big because of the "Butlins" holiday camp nearby ?

I don't think so as the platforms were extended many years before Butlins came to the town.

Incidentally, it looks like the other platform can take 12 and a Loco. They also have that excellent turntable in a public area which was an inspired idea when it was installed last year.
