Hi,
Sheffield platform 2c has always confused me with it’s numbering, it’s undoubtedly a platform in its own right and in my view should be called platform 3 with the existing platform 3 being renamed platform 4 and so on. I’d be willing to bet that 2c’s numbering has caused customer confusion on many occasions, particularly amongst the travelling public who seldom use the railway.

This leads me to three questions:
Many Thanks

This leads me to three questions:
- Why is Sheffield platform 2c numbered as such?
- What would the barriers be to renumbering Sheffield’s platforms to something more customer friendly?
- Are there any other stations across the network that suffer from similar issues or could do with being renumbered for other reasons?
Many Thanks
