Define recently please.

 

[Robinson]

Carstairs?

There have been services calling and terminating there which don't divide/join for as long as I can remember.

Only one platform at Georgemas

Only one platform at Georgemas

It had 2 when I was there in 1991...Have things changed in the last 22 years???

I'd go with Crianlarich, but it was only in the Sprinter era that trains divided there and on summer Saturdays rarely did.

NRE is showing two platforms.

Wiki says 1 and has a photo to prove it

I'll be interested to find out what the answer is for this one, as I can't think of anywhere that fits...

I would agree with you because the last time I went there (a few months ago) all the trains went to Oban and Mallaig, dividing at Crianlarich. But recently there has been a few extra services running to Oban only, that don't divide there.

But the sleeper service to Fort William has, AFAIK, never divided or joined at Crianlarich but has always called.

Is the correct answer. Has the lesser used platform been demolished then? Note I did not state that both the platforms were in regular use.
