Trivia: Stations with the worst numbered platforms

[61653 HTAFC]

Standard in Poland, Czech Republic and ?Slovakia.

Then Podbaba on the edge of Prague is an outlier: having a more "British" set-up of two platforms numbered 1 & 2 either side of a double-track railway.

I don't recall how Prague "main" station was set up, as when I departed from there I was half-asleep! Though with the screens and all services being numbered I was able to navigate fine.

Platform zero can mislead some unwary passengers into thinking the train simply hasn't been allocated a platform number yet.

I don't know why the extra platform at King's Cross could not have simply been numbered 1A.

Because there are sometimes two GN trains in 1, in which case the 1A/1B suffixes would be used
