Just witnessed a Northern service call at this seldom-used platform for the second time in as many weeks. On both occasions, both passengers and the guard were surprised to arrive, with both expecting to be at platform three which is on the opposite side. There doesn't appear to be any reason for this use, as on both occasions there was little if any disruption on the route. The guard on today's service said it was the first time in 5 years that he'd used the platform.
Does anyone in the know know the reason (if any) for these moves? They were at similar times of day but the first was on a Monday so I assume it isn't required for crew knowledge.
Any thoughts?
