I have more than once had problems in Stations where despite the "number" of numbers being infinite, planners have seen fit to have a bay, and a though platform share the same number.
For example Sheffield has the through platform 2 (a & b), and also 2c as a bay (With little obvious information).
Ditto Preston with the bays 3c and 4c.
Also (at least before the latest rebuilding) Birmingham New St.
However, looking at the departure boards and map for Liverpool Lime St, I'm somewhat perplexed that there seems to be two separate Platform 1s, (surface and loop).
Surely very confusing?
Why not have Platform 1 as is, and the loop or underground as say "U" for clarity?
