As is almost always the association with Kirkby, Ormskirk also has the unusual layout of electric Merseyrail trains and diesel Northern trains separated on arrival by a large buffer, so passengers wishing to go from one to another walk a dozen yards or so along the platform to move between trains.

Lichfield Trent Valley also has 2 through platforms on a main line and a 3rd platform perpendicular to the other 2 which is the terminus of a branch line.

Liskeard station also has an unusual layout

Are you referring to the fact that the platform for the Looe Valley Line is at a right-angle to the rest of the station?

St Erth is also a junction station in Cornwall, with three platforms managed by First Great Western and served by CrossCountry also.

Yes - and also the fact that the Looe platform is cut off from the rest of the station by a road
