...as also happens on the commuter platforms at Euston. The general
pattern in London termini seems to be that commuter trains leave from
the same platform whilst intercity trains vary; I'm not sure why this
is.

The longer distance trains from Victoria are also predictable. *Not to
quite the same extent as the local stoppers, but still very much
predictable.

Aye, but the longest-distance Victoria trains are comparable in
journey time to the longest-distance London Midland trains ex-Euston,
not VWC.
