This is possibly because:
1. The lines were meant for the new Cross Island Line Stage 3, which is still under planning. It is also possible that Gul Circle is the terminus of the Cross Island Line, since Platforms C and D end just right after the station.
2. The platforms were, highly possibly, meant for the Tuas South Extension. There were plans to extend train services from Joo Koon to Tuas Link, and from Gul Circle to Tuas South. The extension towards North was successful, however, there was not enough development around the area at that time, so eventually the plans for Tuas South were cancelled. The current solution is: to use buses.
Ok, so this is the actual thing that I want to say apart from those 3 comments: I have a feeling that the unused platforms c and d might be used for the cross island line. ?

But LTA did announce for No stations for Tuas South and Jurong Island. New Stations possible for Tuas South and Jurong Island in around 2040 to 2050

No Cross Island Line is underground
but it might go upperground. same thing might happen with the TELe
However, the tracks are connected to the EWL, so it might not be those.
true since tghw line terminates there
