In the discussion of platform 8's in another section of this forum the subject of London Underground came up.
I'm not a huge user of the underground, I probablly use it once or twice a year but when I have used it I don't recall seeing platform numbers. I recall platforms being reffered to by the line, direction and if necessary route e.g. "northern line southbound via bank". Do London Underground platforms typically have numbers? if so did I simply miss them or are they not typically displayed to the public?
