Station association

[Robinson]

London King's Cross is famously the station of the fictional Platform 9 3/4 - but the real platforms 9 and 10 are separated by intervening tracks. J. K. Rowling claimed to have misremembered London Euston as King's Cross, despite the fact that platforms 9 and 10 there are also separated by two tracks.

In one series of fiction books, King's Cross is a notable station. In a totally different series, Fenchurch Street is notable.

(I dont think I need to say in the case of the former, in the case of the latter, it is Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy that im referring to)

York is also used by rail visitors as a means of accessing a historic monument. (Clifford's Tower in York....The Tower of London from Fenchurch Street)

I hope this clarification is good enough to save this posting from being accused of being a refugee from the Settlement Association Quiz...

Are you referring to the Manchester Metrolink system at Manchester Victoria as being "electric" in this comparison as all the heavy rail services there are diesel operated.

well it is all in the same station complex I suppose, hence why I used Chester as there is also the ability for electric rail vehicles to run there, but mostly diesel

Perth is also a 7-platform station
