Minor point - they're not different stations. Perhaps you think a basement
isn't part of the building thats sitting on top of it because one was dug
and the other was built?

Define "Station". *In my mind Waterloo is one station. *I catch
trains, from platforms, there. *However, Network Rail and TfL define
it as at least three stations, Waterloo Main, Waterloo East, and
Waterloo Underground.


Even normals would tend to differentiate Waterloo and Waterloo East.


Historically there could be said to be up to 6 different stations the


Waterloo LSWR
Waterloo SER
Waterloo & City Line
Bakerloo Line
Northern Line
Jubilee Line
Waterloo International


Not true. Firstly, your list of stations for which there were "up to
6" contains 7 stations. Secondly, you failed to include the Necropolis
Station, which increases the number of stations.-


Was not the Windsor side once considered separate? I know that is now
the empty International Station. I am surprised that the Bakerloo and
Northern Line platforms are considered two stations. They are well
integrated. I believe Victoria is, or has been, considered three
stations. To me if it has platforms, and a name, it is a Station.
Although Kings Cross, Saint Pancras, and Kings Cross/Saint Pancras
(TfL) always caused me some mental somersaults.
