Hi all,

Currently this information does not appear to be available from within Simsig.

I've dug around and found the following lengths for platforms at Peterborough that relate to the current sim (i.e. no P6 & P7 - modern layout)

P2 = 326m
P3 = 319m
P4 = 265m
P5 = 265m

However despite a trawl around some elderly Section Appendices I can't locate the length of the erstwhile bay platform P1.

Anyone any information on the subject?

Rules of The Plan 2012 (issue date 08/07/2011) give it as 91m.

Peterborough has 7 platforms in real life. 6&7 are short platforms, for 6-8 car EMUs I would guess. The others are all designed for 12 car trains.
