Sorry if this has been covered.

Does anyone know why all the platforms are not used at Victoria? It looks like one tram platform has Spanish solution, or it could just be the layout?

The signalling system doesn't yet allow all three platforms to be operational at once. The middle platform has been used during the Victoria rebuilding works, but only at a time when one of the side platforms was out of use.

There is a programme to fix the problem but I can't remember when it's due to happen. Others will know. I think it's been postponed a few times.

When the signalling is sorted the middle platform will be used primarily for the Airport trams which will terminate here.
