Would Edinburgh Waverley qualify? From any of (a) the east-departing
bay platforms, (b) the west-departing bay platforms and (c) the
'suburban' platforms (numbers 8 and 9) you can't see any of the other
sets.

Looking at the plan, I don't think it's any more separate stations than
(say) Reading. Maybe I need to express it better. St Pancras has
separate sets of escalators between any two of the four "separate
stations", and a quite distinct concourse and gateline for each. London
Bridge has a walkway between the set of through lines and the terminus
concourse, with quite separate gateline. Manchester Picc has a long
corridor and stairs between the main concourse and the through
platforms, again with one gateline for the terminating platforms and
another for the through platforms (at the far end).
