Octavius,

Sure, allowing passengers to wait on the platform would help, but the concourse expansion isn't just about waiting area, it's also about improving the usage of existing space (there's a lot of wasted space behind those gates today) and improving the circulation to the existing tracks.

As far as bottlenecks go, I don't know that US is a bottleneck for trains yet, but the current passenger flows most certainly are a bottleneck, as there is only one point of platform access and that's at the end of the platform. Most of this plan is about improving passenger access to and from the rail facilities, etc.
