Isn't there now a luggage trolley on its way through to the platform?


Yes, which is now badly dented - either through vandalism or something
else hitting it.

Not sure what that website was going on about, suggesting the platform
9 3/4 could have been there before the book!!


I've heard a story, second hand and from a "Non Railway" person, which I
didn't fully understand, that there was once a station *somewhere* (not
KC) which had a Platform 9 3/4 and that that was the inspiration for JK
Rowling.

Anyone else here know?
