How many platforms does this station have

[@cmeonthemove]

Just the two, served by the outer relief lines. The centre lines are straight through.

[@richardditchburn3853]

There used to be four platforms in the "good old days", but even when I was a child mid 60's, the two central platforms rarely were used, normally stopping trains used the outside platforms. With the advent of high speed trains the inside platforms were dismatled leaving only the outer two for stopping trains. When I hung around this station there was a small goods yard, coal docks, an engine shed for the single steam shunting loco, and its own signal box. Times change.
