At Portsmouth and Southsea there is about 4 or 5 platform dispatchers due to the severe S-bend curve of the platform.
Would this be the most at a UK station or are there any locations with more present?

I believe some platforms at London Bridge (6/7) need 4 dispatchers when a 12 car shows up. I could be wrong though.

Man Picc needs a pretty large number for a 390 on platforms 13/14.

Between the parallel lines
York seems to have a massive amount of staff for LNER services - understandably, given their length and the platform curvature.
