If you stop the Expo Line for 5-10min, then Broadway platform would be like that. If you stop the line long enough, then every station would be like that.

IF there is a service stoppage...
And yes, I know it happpened, and while I may just walk to and from work now, as I mentioned in the Vancouver Transit thread, I did live in Surrey and was talking Skytrain too and from work. I have experience many service stoppage myself (including one that made Granville Station look like the one in Manila).
However, service stoppage is not the norm (or at least, it shouldn't), and with that in mind, its not really why you need a dozen trains just to service one station since service stoppage in Skytrain often means ALL trains are stopped, or certain portions of the line are inaccessible even if you have a hundreds of trains all wanting to reach the crowds.
So with that in mind, am I safe to assume that we are in agreement that, in a hypothetical situation wherein Burquitlam Station is opened early, that a few trains in the existing Skytrain can easily service that one teeny tiny station without any disruption to the rest of the system?
