Trivia: Most train companies relative to number of platforms

[Timmyd]

Waiting at Peckham Rye recently, I was struck by the extraordinary variety of operators and liveries for a 4 platform station, all at high frequency. 8 Southern per hour (reduced to 4 much of the week at present) and 8 Overground from platforms 1 and 2, and 8 Thameslink (at peak times) and 4 South Eastern from platforms 3 and 4. Obviously there are many large stations with such intensity from different operators, but many of this size?

6 operators' services pass through Haymarket, with all but one stopping. It has 5 platforms (one being a rarely used bay).

Stockport has 6 operators and 6 platforms (one being a rarely used bay).

Stoke has 5 operators and 3 platforms.

There are quite a few 2 platform, 4 operator stations. For example, Brough, Durham and Sunderland.

Morpeth has 5 operators with 2 platforms.

Carstairs has 2 platforms and 3 operators which stop, with a further 3 passing through. Given how isolated and small a place it is, that's pretty impressive.

Dore arguably wins ratio-wise, with its single platform having 3 operators.
