Inspired by this thread, can anyone think of any good examples of stations abroad which currently have an excessive number of platforms?
I recently changed at Gela station in Sicily. It has five 180m long platforms and six goods loops, yet is served by just 1tp2h (most formed of short 3 car diesel units), and has no apparent goods traffic. In combination with the cavernous concourse, it all seemed rather excessively proportioned for the service the station receives.
