On a side note the new Thameslink station will (like the station above)
be called St Pancras International.

Will there be any other station in the UK with four distinct sets of
platforms (not counting LUL platforms)?

Waterloo perhaps has three: Main concourse, East (or is that different
station altogether) and Eurostar (even post E* they might be entered
separately). Manchester Piccadilly has two, as does London Bridge; any
other offers for three or more?



I'd say London Bridge had three really, in that three lead only to/
from Cannon Street and three (plus the passing track) lead only to/
from Charing Cross/Blackfriars.

I think you could argue for Clapham Junction having five distinct sets

Platform 2, only for Silverlink via Olympia

Platforms 3 - 6, only to/from Putney

Platforms 7 - 11, only to/from the Wimbledon direction

Platforms 12 - 15, only to/from Victoria and to/from Balham etc

Platforms 16 and 17, only for between Olympia and the south


Also, platform 1 for ghost trains, but you could say that about
platform 8 at London Bridge as well.
