Derby station was designed by Francis Thompson, working with Robert Stephenson. They worked together on the Chester and Holyhead Railway, for which Thompson designed the Italianate Chester station, the frontage of which closely resembles the original station at Derby.

When were the number of platforms there reduced from 15 to 14?
ValleyLines142
Established Member
They haven't. Two for Thameslink, five for Eurostar, three for Southeastern and four for East Midlands Railway (or vice versa for the latter two).

Why do certain information sources claim there are 15 platforms?
ValleyLines142
Established Member
Your guess is as good as mine? I can change it if you're adamant there are 15?

One of the examples that shows 15 platforms is the very detailed Wikipedia article on that station.

It actually shows 14, but I'm happy to change my posting anyway.
You can't always rely on Wikipedia.

West Croydon also facilitates a light rail interchange.

INFORMATION
I was expecting a very quick change from 15 to 14, as during our earlier conversation, I contacted a member of the Wikipedia admin team, stating what you said, and asked him to make the change urgently, which it appears he did straight away.

Yes, there are six Eurostar platforms at St Pancras. Someone has edited it on Wikipedia to show this.

INFORMATION
I was expecting a very quick change from 15 to 14, as during our earlier conversation, I contacted @a bit iffy at the Wikipedia admin team and asked their team to investigate the matter, which it appears they saw the 14 figure and changed it back to 15, stating 13 on one level and two on another level.
