The Overground doesn't use that side (the old Electric Lines) of
Liverpool St, platforms 11-18. It uses some of the lowest numbered
platforms (1-4?) though it shares with AGA on them.

P1-7 - some peak LOROL services get as far across as Platform 7. As
you say the station is shared with AGA who run trains out of platforms
1-15 in totality. TfL Rail have P16-18 routinely but can run out of
other platforms if required.

I think 9 & 10 are for Norwich services with AGA services on 11-15 separate
from those on 1-8.

As I am sure you know the services are "grouped" into batches of
platforms to avoid excessive crossing of tracks in the station throat
at busy times.

Indeed. Which means that AGA services are subdivided into WA & mainline
groups.
