Stockport currently has 6 active platforms.
The four through platforms 1-4 which have been there as long as I can remember, though I think the 1/2 island may have been reshaped when plaform 0 was built.
The modern through platform zero (which prior to opening displayed the number 1, presumablly in anticipation of a renumbering that never happened).
Platform 3A, a little used north-facing bay platform (IIRC it sees one passenger train a week in normal service, plus some empty stock movements and is also used during disruption and engineering works).
I'm sure it used to have more bay platforms, but my memory is fuzzy on how many more and when they closed. The shape of the roof suggests that the 1/2 island had a single south facing bay and a single north facing bay and that the 3/4 island had a double north facing bay. I think there was also a south facing bay on the 3/4 island where there is now a garden but I've no idea if it was single or double.
I recall it also used to have two bypass lines down the middle, which you can still see some evidence of today.
Can anyone remember how many bay platforms stockport had at it's peak?
