Jun 2007, Matt Wheeler remarked:
London Victoria with 3 sets ?
South Eastern Side, then, two sets of "south central" platforms, the
"middle" ones where Gatwick Express is located, and then the
high-numbered ones for longer distance Southern services to the coast
which are down past the escalators to Victoria Place.


No, you can stand at the entrance to the concourse and see all the
platforms at once, and they are numbers intuitively from left to right.


Pedantically, can you see them all from one point, or would either WHS
(Chatham side) or the escalators up (high numbers) be in the way?


Heading for any of them is simply a case of going a bit left, right or
straight ahead.


It gets more complicated if a Royal Train is leaving from platform 2 (or, in
the past, when the Night Ferry occupied that platform) and access to
platform 1 was from outside the station
