(1) Merredin Station has a high level platform which meets all disability standards. As Prospector trains cross at Merredin for operational reasons only one train can access the high level platform at any particular time and therefore passengers travelling on the other train must embark and disembark via steps.
(2) - (4) Yes, building of an additional platform similar to the existing high level platform is being considered. Planning is currently underway and when a cost estimate is available the project will be included in the Public Transport Authority's bid for future capital funding.
