I am wondering which stations are configured with a platform on one 'fast' line but not the other.
I am thinking of stations like Surbiton, which was rebuilt in its current layout in the 1930s, rather than stations like Earlsfield, which just had the up fast platform removed at some point in the past. If a station was reconfigured in this form, like Peterborough, I think this also counts.
Bonus question - what was the rationale behind the provision of a layout such as Surbiton? Is it typical to provide an up fast platform but not a down fast, or the other way around?
