remarked:
I'd say London Bridge had three really, in that three lead only to/
from Cannon Street and three (plus the passing track) lead only to/
from Charing Cross/Blackfriars.
I think you could argue for Clapham Junction having five distinct sets
Platform 2, only for Silverlink via Olympia
Platforms 3 - 6, only to/from Putney
Platforms 7 - 11, only to/from the Wimbledon direction
Platforms 12 - 15, only to/from Victoria and to/from Balham etc
Platforms 16 and 17, only for between Olympia and the south
But all the CJ platforms are next to one another, and you don't have to
do any special orientation to get from one to the other. Similarly for
the two "sets of" LB through platforms. What I'm looking for is places
where the sets of platforms are completely disjoint. For example, KX
main shed and KX suburban just about qualify, but Paddington main and
suburban probably don't.
