I have looked in the tunnel and there seems to be no sign of theanother tunnel on the same side as the Balck door.
But there is another Tunnel on the otherside IE, the Hunts Cross side which seems to be blocked up with grese block.

This Tunnel seems to me as though it weas not another platform but only an Emergency buffer stop as the tunnel dosent seem wide enough for another platfrom and the wall to the right seems to old to have been built up.
How ever there is a possibilty that the platfrom was on the Left hand side with a sperate access probbly from the original High Level Building.
So it is Still a mistery and as for the blck door then i think that it is possible that this just gives access to a ventalation shaft or Ean Old Emergency Evacuation Tunnel Built Before the stair case at the end of the platfrom somrthing like that as if you look towards the end of the tunnel towards Hunts Cross there is an old fire extinghishire box on the Left.
