That makes me wonder, are there any stations in the UK or elsewhere that
have a continuous platform with different numbers at either end?

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

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

Kings Cross suburban platforms all sub-divided: 9a/9b, 10a/10b and 11a/
11b.

The question is about platforms having different *numbers* at each
end, not merely a/b, N/S, etc.

The platform face isn't continuous though.

National Rail would have you believe that Oban's two platforms are
double numbered...

.... but they aren't (they're numbered as 3 and 4).

Just a boring bay, there are hundreds of those.

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...

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.
