I asked this question in the past, unfortunately it doesn't come up on the search function.

Rail_Britain was kind enough to respond as follows:-

1 75m (3 car)
2 162m (6 car)
3 and 4 125m (3 car 170, 4 car 156/158, or 170+158)
5 168m (6 car)
6 173m (6 car)
7 192m (6 car)

I am sure I read somewhere that platforms 6 & 7 could take longer trains.
I found a report on line (probably TfS) outlining how QS could be rebuilt.
With the recently revised EGIP scheme (now no increase on 4 TPH), longer trains are proposed.
Something I can quote with certainty is Modern Railways August 2012;

'As part of it's redevelopment, Queen St High level stations platforms are to be lengthened further than in its original EGIP plans, to accomodate 8-Car trains'
But you probably knew that anyway!

Perhaps not relevant now, but there were the early 70's push/pull services introduced between Queen St and Waverley which consisted of 6 MkIIs and a Class 27 either end which were in turn, replaced by the Class 47-hauled rakes utilising a DBSO. I remember the 47-hauled sets used to fit comfortably in platforms 2 and 3, and I think, 6 and 7 too.

I sometimes wonder if the Blue Pullmans would have worked well on E-G in the 70s.

I think this is the report you saw:-
