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.)

There were at least four platforms - two side ones (with a wall between
them and the new trainshed, I presume the same wall that's still there
now) and one island platform. Like the E* platforms today, the outer
parts were on quite a curve, and bore the painted markings "MIND THE GAP".

I always wanted to alter it to "MIND THE HAP" and photograph one of the
nx2HAPs which frequented that side for many years.
