The railway press seems to have missed this completely.

Four platforms - when was the last time a new station opened with four
platforms?


I wonder how often trains will stop at the fast up/down platforms?

I think Cambridge North only has three.


All of them well-used.

I'm guessing Luton Airport Parkway,


East Midlands Parkway, Dalston Junction; both with regular trains at all
four platforms all day long.

Heathrow T5, sort of (Provision for four platforms)

Edinburgh Gateway, if you count tram platforms.

and before that God knows when there was another.
