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.


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).
