saw an HST set in it on Saturday (13:36). Admittedly the engine wasn't
running on the power car under the buildings.

Is this a regular occurrence? If so why not change the signs?

How many other stations have unusual numbering for their platforms?

Obviously one could fill an entire thread with examples at Statford.

New Cross, Waterloo East, and St Pancras Low Level use letters rather than
numbers for their platforms.
