Platform 11

[smiddleton]

Hiya,

I am doing a university project based on platform 11 and would be extremely grateful if anyone can help me out.

I was wondering if anyone knows of any famous platform 11's, famous events/if and when platform 11 has featured in any tv shows/films etc.

Any views about any platform 11 you may have come across?

Any particular trains that leave/have left from platform 11?

Any other info you feel may help me out.

Thanks

Sophie

Hi Sophie,
Platform 11 at Manchester Victoria had the distinction of being the longest platform in Britain, it ran through into Exchange station. It doesn't exist any more, Victoria was drastically "downsized" and Exchange demolished many years ago.

There was of course the famous platform 9 3/4 at Kings Cross. When I tried to find it, I just got an enormous lump on my head !
