Only two platforms, 9 and 10, in the suburban station; 11 was re-instated
some years later. I think what would become 11 was fenced off, and had no
track in it.

What was 17 used for?

Presumably for suburban trains, though I imagine it had little use after 14
and 15 were added, and especially after WW2 when trains to the Northern
Heights went over to LUL Northern Line. Thanks for the reminder that
platform 11 was temporarily abolished after GN suburban electrification.
