I'd second grilling them on curb-to-platform pedestrian flow: The plans should minimize distance to walk and maximize access points to platforms. [Saving 10 minutes on access is much cheaper 10 minutes with faster trains].

Also, large, appealing platforms for waiting are a must. Waiting at the platform is less stressful (you are right there just feet from where the door to the train you are going to get on will be shortly). It is faster (in many European cities you can witness fully loaded HSR trains unloading and loading completely in under a minute). It saves space: the platform IS the "waiting areas".
