York 3 & 4 (under the previous numbering, it was 8a and 8b, the only
sub-divided platform there).

Cambridge?
Gloucester?

Edinburgh Waverley. Platforms 19 and 20 at the south end are 2 and 1 at
the north end. I think that 11 (south end) is 7 (north end) as well.

Chicago?

Speaking from memory, Chicago Union Station is basically two terminii
arranged head to head with the passenger handling facilities in the
middle. There are no actual through trains as all Amtrak services
start or end there. One of the outer platforms is continuous though,
with a through track provided to permit ECS moves between the two
station halves, but is operationally used as two separate platforms.

Birmingham New Street - 5a, 5b and 4c all on the same platform face.


The platform face isn't continuous though.

It's continuous, just not straight :-)

But the oddity I was alluding to in my post is that 4c is on the 5 side of
the 4/5 island - hence it vaguely counts for the purpose of the original
question.

4c is what used to be a loco siding. Had that loco siding not been
there, 5 would have extended the full length.

I don't think you can really claim it to be part of 5; looking at it
from above it's almost like the island has been extended on one side
of end only...

Until they were renumbered some years ago, Worcester Shrub Bill's down
platform was 1 & 2, and the up platform was 3 & 4.

Yes, they extended it towards the centre of the station, thus taking a bite
out of 5b.

Don't get me wrong - it was a good idea, and usually seems to have a
Brum-Liverpool Desiro in.

Bristol Temple Meads
Edinburgh Waverley

Bristol Temple Meads has five such platforms faces:
3+4, 5+6, 7+8, 9+10, 11+12

....and a missing platform 14 ?

Thanks for all the replies. There are *many* more than I thought!
