Thanks for all the replies. There are *many* more than I thought!

Did anyone mention Cambridge?

Many times.

Yes, me.

Many times.

But not Colchester! Platforms 4 and 3 are the same (don't be fooled by the
small wall - it's no more than a pillar):

These NR station maps look like the world's dullest Zelda instalmen.

I am glad that they included photos of every individual bench and
vending machine, so that I can compare them from the luxury of my
armchair and have my favourite bench and vending machine worked out
before arriving at the station.

It's good that they only treat a bench as a single seat - that way there are
no moral issues with lying down, or spreading out your bags, laptop, etc
etc...

But it's not like that. The platform face is _not_ continuous, the up
main serves platform 3 but platform 4 is a loop off the up main. If you
got hold of a 16-car train and stopped the front at the far end of
platform 3, the rear could be on platform 4 but there would be a door or
two with no platform.

You can see well enough on Googlemaps what the layout is like.
