Just had this going round in my head of all passengers falling off the edge of the platform, and trains.

There's a new as yet unused platform at Stockport. There were originally four platform faces (ignoring bays) running East to West as Platforms 1 to 4. The new platform has been built to the East of platform 1. There was talk of it being Platform 0 but I think it will end up as Platform 5 now.

Am I right in thinking some very big stations have no platform 13 for reasons of superstition?

waterloo has a P13.
Clapham does have a platform 1 - platform 2 is an island, platform 1 being the abandoned far side of it. If the East London Line ever comes to fruition (ha ha!) then they'll reinstate P1 there.
Rather than Platform 0, a lot of places have Platform 1a (Ipswich, Basingstoke used to - it was the Alton bay)
Waterloo East has Platforms A-D. is that unique?

Back to Manchester Piccadilly again - before it was rebuilt in the 60's, London Road station was effectively two halves - one half with lettered platforms (A - D) I think and one half numbered - it was shared between LNWR and GCR I think.arabiandisco wrote: Waterloo East has Platforms A-D. is that unique?

Kings Cross Thameslink has A & B.
Platform 1 at Clapham isn't in use, there isn't any track there.
Theres plans for a platform 0 at Kings Cross.

West Hampstead on the North London Line has "East" and "West" platforms I think.
That's what I meant at clapham - P1 exists but is currently out of use.
