Exeter St, Davids is 6 IIRC?

Bristol Temple Meads is 13; numbered 1-15 but 2's not used and 14 doesn't exist.

Taunton I think is 6, but it's a guess.

 

[DeadlyKidsan]

Dunno Tiverton

[MCR247]

How many platforms does....

Nottingham
grantham
newark northgate
lincoln central

have?

 

[DeadlyKidsan]

Unfortunately i don't know those stations a i have not been to them

 

[90019]

Edinburgh Waverley

There are couple of possible answers:

• If we count 8 and 9 as single platform, it only has 18, because 5 and 6 used to be the old motorail platforms.
• If we count 8e, 8w, 9e and 9w as separate platforms, then it has 20.

Tiverton 2 Bristol Parkway 3 London Paddington 14

 

[Broken Viking]

14 National Rail (12 terminus platforms & 2 through platforms) and 2 Manchester Metrolink

So that makes sixteen altogether, BUT ye forgot about the tram stop just outside the front of the station that adds another two "platforms" even though it's light rail! :razz:

So I'm going to say eighteen platforms for Manchester Piccadilly!

--- Old bit above / New bit below: ---

Anyhow...Here's a few more I'll throw in just to get the old grey matter working! 8)

• Hengelo,
• Hamburg Hauptbahnhof,
• Dortmund Lütgendortmund,
• Sinsenkrysset,
• Kamppi,
• Pisa Centrale

And Penzance

Nottingham has 6, but 8 if you include Station St

 

[DeadlyKidsan]

These are good.....

* Hengelo, 4 platforms?
* Hamburg Hauptbahnhof, 4 platforms
* Dortmund Lütgendortmund, 1 platform?
* Sinsenkrysset, 1 platform?
* Kamppi, not suresan
* Pisa Centrale, 9 platforms?


I bet i'm wrong!!

kidsan :-x

 

[me123]

How About

This Is A Good List

Cardiff Central
York
Bristol Temple Meads
Newport [South Wales]
And Clapham Junction

 

[louis97]

This Is A Good List

Cardiff Central
York
Bristol Temple Meads
Newport [South Wales]
And Clapham Junction

Cardiff Central - 9 (if you count 3b/4b as seperate platforms)
York - no idea
Bristol TM - 12 (or 8 whole platforms) (Numbered 1-15, 13 dont exist and 2 is not for public use(only got a shunt signal))
Newport - 4
Clapham Junction - 16 (numbered 2-17)

 

[me123]

I though Bristol was 13; and Platform 14 doesn't exist.

 

[louis97]

woops it is 13, counted 1 platform as a whole one, when it was split

 

[Broken Viking]

you mean the metrolink! which is what he said!

No, I was also including the tram stop just across the road, which is still branded as Picadilly as it's the closest some lines get to it! :razz:
Although it's been a long time since I was last in Manchester though, so I don't know if this is still the case.

* Hengelo, 4 platforms?
* Dortmund Lütgendortmund, 1 platform?
* Pisa Centrale, 9 platforms?

Those sound right to me, based on the recollections of my travels! 8)

* Sinsenkrysset, 1 platform?
* Kamppi, not sure

Both have two platforms. The former is a tram stop in Oslo, and the latter is a station on the Helsinki Metro.

* Hamburg Hauptbahnhof, 4 platforms

That's WAY off, I'm afraid! I was thinking of the whole of HH-Hbf, although your answer would be correct for Hauptbahnhof Süd on it's own.

Cardiff Central - 9 (if you count 3b/4b as seperate platforms)

Just to double-check: Ye do know that the platforms at Canolig Caerdydd are numbered from zero upwards, don't ye?
