Trivia: Imbalanced Platforms

[mmh]

Essentially, Manchester Piccadilly is a Thameslink-like line (busy through line in a city centre) joining a line out of an intercity/suburban terminus. London Bridge is similar, as is Kings Cross St Pancras and would've been Waterloo (when it had through lines).

Sadly that's supposedly a bit of a common myth. Waterloo did have through lines across the concourse and over the bridge across Waterloo Road to Waterloo East, but never in regular use.

I'd argue St Pancras Thameslink doesn't count to make King's Cross similar as they're quite definitely separate stations.
