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.

14 National Rail (12 terminus platforms & 2 through platforms) and 2 Manchester Metrolink :p
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! <D

--- 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

Waterloo has 19 "domestic", 5 in the "international" and, overall, 24 (not including LU)
King's Cross has 11 (not including LU)
Penzance has 4

I don't know the rest :(

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)

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! :lol: 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? ;)
