1. The speaker had just deboarded the train. The train had left. The passengers had either boarded the train or had left for their destination. So, the platform was clear and only the speaker remained.
2. The place was new to the speaker. He did not know anyone there and hence he had no friends in town.
3. The antonym of 'crowded" is 'deserted'.
4. 'Deserted' is a word used to describe a lonely sort of place with no one around. Old, ruined forts are usually deserted places. Even malls wear a deserted look at night, after the shops close down.
