What were platforms 20-24 used for before construction of the

There were only 2 platforms, 20 and 21. There were also some
sidings and the lift used for access to the Waterloo and City Line.


Are you sure? IIRC there were for platforms (18-21) but when they were
demolished, two new Southampton line platforms were opened up in the
centre of the station, to make up for it, and the Windsor lines --
including the platform numbers -- were shifted along to make room. (I'm
not putting this into words very well, but it makes sense if you think
about it.)

What we really need is someone like Clive to popup with an ASCII
diagram of before and after.
