Has a train stopping at, or even better, terminating at Tenby ever departed from platform 10b at Birmingham New Street? Or arrived there?
What larks that would be...
Any other similar examples?
I think it is likely that there will have been a train from New St 10b to Tenby. I’m sure there used to be a summer Saturday Cross Country service from York or Leeds (possibly Newcastle) to Tenby back in the 80s; I think I saw it once. It would have gone through New St and could conceivably been routed via 10b. Of course it would have occupied most of the platform, so would most likely have been announced as platform 10 rather than 10b. Also it’s final destination may have been Pembroke Dock (although I think Tenby more likely for the run round).
Do the platforms at Piccadilly have an a and b end? There’s a couple of services to Tenby (Pembroke Dock) that start there, and perhaps they could one day be accidentally replatformed to 10b?
New Cross trains all go to Cannon Street now thoughWaterloo east Platform A to New Cross Platform B back to New Cross platform A and into Waterloo East Platform B (on a rounder service)
You're wasted on here!Will the train to Stratford-on-Avon be from platform 2b, or not 2b?

It was an extension of the 08.29 Leeds to Cardiff. It only went as far as Tenby so far as I recall. Same in the other direction. I think it also used to split at Sheffield, with portions to / from Hull, at one time.I think it is likely that there will have been a train from New St 10b to Tenby.

Was there ever a Clock Face timetable at Clock Face?
But the Hayes train still leaves from platform A (at Waterloo East) - a school friend pointed this out to me about 1965, the old ones are the bestNew Cross trains all go to Cannon Street now though
I've got a little Liszt.... but it mainly contains names of "little" Welsh stations.Whenever I hear announcements of trains departing from platform 4a I think, how nice to name the platform after a composer. Unfortunately I can't think of any others...

Mods, think my post needs Chopin
Sadly, platforms in the main shed at Piccadilly aren't sub-lettered - trains are just advertised as front/rear train.
Platform 13/14 are signed as 13b/14b at their respective arrival ends, should a train stop short or be turning back directly.
