It's not anywhere on the 30-year operations plan. The gauntlet tracks along the spur are built to permit freight trains to bypass a platform that is long enough for two trains coupled together.
They can still design for three-car trains, even if they only build for two-car trains. Ensure that all platforms etc can be extended to handle a third car, when the time comes to extend them.
But hopefully they will increase frequency before they start even thinking about adding a third car to the trains.
