As you say, there's no way a bay platform for Waterford could be added at the back of the down platform because of the angle of the tracks.

I presume having a V-shaped platform is also out as there would be safety issues involved in terminating just before crossing the mainline.

The only real options would seem to be a V-shape with a terminating track (which would preclude through-running trains at a later date, or the ludicrously expensive idea of grade-separating the tracks.

I would be surprised if there was any investment at all in the Waterford line. There are too many doubts over its future, which could make an investment worthless. Of course, without any real investment, it is doomed to closure eventually.
