One thing that amazes me is that, whereas the Germans et al allocate
platform numbers for the whole year, in Britain we make it up day by
day. It would be great in the evenings to know that Cambridge fasts
are always on say pl. 8, Peterboroughs on 7 - and why Hull Trains
can't have a designated platform (like say Heathrow Express) I don't
know.

Every train does have a designated platform. It's just that the crowded
working at KX makes it hard to dedicate a platform to each service; it's
not compatible with getting everything in and out without conflict. And
Hull Trains have so few services that it wouldn't be a good use of
space.
