Sloping station platforms

[Malton Seadog]

Was travelling to Liverpool earlier, and noticed a visible incline at Edge Hill station on the line as it drops into the tunnels before Lime Street.

It's not only rare that you notice an incline so steep you can see it, but to see the platform sloping too was quite bizarre.

I don't have any photos sadly, but can you think of any other steep platforms in the UK on the national network?

City Thameslink springs immediately to mind.

Farringdon (NR platforms) also slope steeply at one end

I don't think it's too bad. I remember that the slope past the end of the platforms was why they had to close the Moorgate branch... because they had to extend the platforms to 12-car and they had to do it southwards over the junction, as northwards would mean it is on a gradient which is banned for new platforms!

Liskeard slopes both ways (i.e. there's a notable hump in the middle of the platform).
