I thought Pontypridd had one of the longest originally?
Bristol Temple Meads has the same problem for westbound trains.As far as Waverley is concerned, I am not alone in finding it frustrating that a two or three car unit will be waiting for passengers at the very far end of the long double platforms. I assume this is because of signal sighting, track circuits, or similar?
There used to be one very long platform which served both Manchester Victoria and Exchange stations before the latter closed

my two pence, Polsloe bridge, which is my local is capable of handling 8+2 Hst, however is a single line branch which only usualy sees a 150/2, or a 150/2 with a 143 during rush hour. used to be better before 1973 I have been told (guessing beechings)
West Allerton has 4 very long platforms for the services that stop there.

Ha, yes, like when the Glasgow train leaves from half way to Dunbar on platform 7?As far as Waverley is concerned, I am not alone in finding it frustrating that a two or three car unit will be waiting for passengers at the very far end of the long double platforms.

Consider how far down the platform a southbound service stops - and a whole 9+2 will still fit on the platform. Platform 4 is listed as 458m in the SA. Platform 1 is 441m.Does Darlington have very long platforms? They don't seem that long compared to other places ( York, Newcastle, Euston ( sleepers) etc)
In comparison, Liverpool South Parkway is too short!
I think Chester's platforms are meant to be particularly long ?
