I went to Liverpool Street this morning to look around. Looking again at
Chris Tolley's pictures:

The one showing the Great Eastern Hotel sign
(http://gallery120232.fotopic.net/p13277464.html)
is taken on the old
platform 9; the photo was taken from a point which is *now* around the
buffer stop of platform 8 but was then well outside the barrier line.

That's right. I then walked toward the Hotel and took two more pictures,
looking away from the buffers (these aren't in the "stations section of
my fotopic site, so you may not have noticed them):

I hadn't.

Looking at the first, I think that piece of wall has been removed but I
could be mis-remembering. It gives the impression that there's another
wall behind it with something (a taxi ramp?) between them.

The second shows something I had completely forgotten - the siding. I
*think* that the present platform 10 track is where the siding was, and
the platform 10 track shown there has been paved over. Certainly it
would help explain why there's a wide space between 10 and 11 in the
present station.
