Trainfan344 in post 103729 said:Sorry for the double postCrediton has daily services from both platforms (1 platform for services to Barnstaple/Okehampton; 1 platform for services to Exeter and beyond). Yeoford, which you might have been thinking of, is on the shared 2 track formation before the two single line branches diverge; but alas the 2nd (Okehampton) platform is presently disused and trains are unable to call. (Indeed it doesn’t even count as a preferred emergency evacuation point!) Last edited: 06/12/2017 at 00:22 by JamesN Reason: Words Log in to reply The following user said thank you: Trainfan344 |

8. Which European station has main line platforms on three different levels.? "Main line" is the restriction that's bothering me, as it's somewhat in the eye of the beholder. Two candidates are Zürich HB, but that depends on whether you consider the S-bahn tunnel to ZH-Stadelhofen as "main line", and Stuttgart Hbf, but that also depends on how you treat the S-bahn tunnel, and on how far advanced Stuttgart 21 now is. Or maybe it's something else, such as Madrid Atocha or Chamartin, or, better still, Barcelona Sants. All appear possible. Log in to reply |

8. (as mentioned) Antwerpen-Centraal, Amsterdam Sloterdijk (3-8, 11&12, 9-10), Köln-Deutz (low level, High level and sloping high level) Zürich HB has more than three, as far as I am concerned, Stuttgart 21 is not nearly finished (2021 was the target (hence the name) but it's now delayed till 2022).
