The new goods avoiding line is along side the unit. I do not think it was yet in use at this time. Note there are no platform ramps and there is a fence with a locked gate on all the platforms ends at Peterborough now.

Platform 7
 
This Page is about the all new platform 7 in 2014. As part of the upgrade at Peterborough railway station. New lifts have been built for all platforms
 
Platform 7 is part of an all new Island platform. this was built were the goods loops were along side platform 5.  This new Island platform has been given the platform numbers of 6 and 7.  Cross Country and East Midland Trains will use these platforms with trains to and from the March line. ( some of these trains still use platforms 4 or 5 ) Both platforms  6 and 7 have no overhead wires and will be used for services like the Liverpool to Norwich and the Birmingham to Stanstead trains that run mostly on non-wired lines.
 
Freight trains also use this platform both ways.
