I also found a pic of the original platform 1:

Were tracks 1 and 2 longer than 3 to 8? The steps on platform 2 sort of
imply it.

My memory was that there was a footbridge from 2 to 1, but that picture
makes it look more like you just walked around the end. Curious. Unless
it's that construct in the distance, but that would make the tracks a
*lot* longer.

What I can't recall is where exactly I was when I took the one during
the rebuilding: http://gallery120232.fotopic.net/p13296304.html
Would that have been where the escalator entrance is from Bishopsgate?

Here I *can* help. The wider roof arches on the right are the ones over
platforms 9 and 10 - look at your other pictures to see what I mean. So
you're standing roughly where the Circle Line now emerges, underneath
McDonalds.

Yes, but not by much. Half a coach length, perhaps.

Both, IIRC. In http://gallery120232.fotopic.net/p10601006.html there's a
red footbridge. This went across the width of that side of the station.
Plat 1&2 buffers were just underneath it, but all the other platform
gates were a few yards in front of it. So you could walk down off that
bridge, or you could walk round the buffers by going underneath it.

Indeed, I mentioned it in one of my earlier postings.

Ah, of course.
