I was in Rotenburg (Wümme) near Bremen (Germany) over the weekend and noticed that the platform numbers are in the wrong sequence. It has platforms 4, 5 & 6 but the sequencing is:

North 5
Middle 4
South 6

Are there any such stations in the UK (or elsewhere)?

From west to east, Stirling station's seven platforms are numbered:

2, 3, 7, 8, 6, 9, 10.

1, 4 and 5 were formerly north-facing bays.

Wolverhampton - bay platforms 5 and 6 are next to platform 1
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Birmingham Moor Street - possibly controvertial as platforms 3-5 are currently closed, but will open soon but they are signed and the station numbers currently go 2, 1, 3, 4, 5

I'm sure there are loads of these out there and I'm surprised nobody has posted any more!

Oxford is yet another one with the bay platform being Platform 3, the down platform being platform 2 and the up platform next to the bay platform being platform 1!

A tad confusing when one is used to the Eastern Region way of simplifying things ie the bay platform would be platform 1, the up platform would be platform 2 and the down platform would be platform 3 but then again this is the Western Region, ;)
