Though will someone explain the bottleneck phenomenon .... I'm guessing it's something like a single line across the bridge, but as I've never been further than the bridge/ferry station, and I'm stunningly unobservant, I can't be sure.
Originally there was one track into the station. When BTS opened two further stations out to Wang Wian Yai across the river they never added an additional track (or platform). So half the platform is for pax to Want Wian Yai and the other half to Siam. When a train is in the stations the opposite track must wait for the train to leave... thus the bottleneck in trains and problems on the platform.
