Default Why no assigned platforms?

Not from halfway down platform 1 to halfway down platforms 2-8. Or even
9-11 if it's an FCC train which is involved.


Well probably not. But I meant if you were wandering around the concourse
waiting for your train to appear on the boards.


It's still quite a jog to the suburban platforms though. And if you are
waiting for an Intercity, as soon as the platform's announced there is
generally an instant impenetrable scrum of people between you and the
relevant platform barrier.
