The platforms don't need to start that deep. They don't need shelters and canopies. They don't need space to walk behind the shelter. They don't need 8 sets of signage specifying the direction. Do they really need that central barrier between trains? Do they need that big fancy useless canopy.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the signs don't cost much either. These stations are not all that fancy or overpriced. Build 'em as basic as you want but you're not shaving off anything meaningful. And frankly having a basic shelter rather than just a sidewalk makes sense in Alberta - the weather is a little bit more extreme in Calgary than in Barcelona.
