ChrisHB Mar 2016 2:50pm, 12 Mar 2016 12,755 posts	0 ChrisHB Platform 0 arises when a new platform is built next to the existing platform 1, and the powers that be think it's too much like hard work for the passengers to relearn all the platform numbers..

Badger Mar 2016 2:56pm, 12 Mar 2016 7,026 posts	0 Badger With King's Cross, it was because they extended the station adding a new platform next to the old platform 1, and numbered it 0 instead of renumbering all of them. Between you you've just collected half the platform 0s in the UK. There are dozens of them in Japan. minemura.org I know this because I use Kings Cross a lot and the guy who runs that site commented on a photo I posted of its Platform 0 under construction, rather than being a massive platform numbering nerd.
