Why is there no platform 13? Tompw 17:29, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
- Don't you mean why is there no platform 14? (I have no idea but that's what the article states) - fchd 18:34, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
- Whoops... yes I do mean "Why is there no platform 14?" Tompw 21:05, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
- My guess is that its because odd-numbered platforms are at the northern end of the station, and the even numbered ones are at the southern end. Platform 14 would be the southern end of platform 13, but its not really long enough for two faces (and you can't go south from platfrom 13 because of buffers). Likewise, platform 15 is the northern end of the opposite face, which again isn't long enough for two, but the southern end of this would be 16. Thryduulf 12:03, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

How can this be the first railroad (railway) station - looks like Ellicott City, Maryland, USA, had one, albeit a much less grand one, almost 10 years earlier. http://www.ecbo.org/historic-site.shtml
