" said:nice.. but doesnt platform 9 3/4 actually sit between P9 and 8 (for some reason)? Probably because 8 was really 10? Log in to reply |

I seem to remember that at some point - once Thameslink fully opens, or perhaps after the King's Cross resignalling - they intended to renumber the platforms starting with 1 at the current platform 0, which as a side effect would then actually place platform 9 3/4 on a platform, or to be more precisely, on the gap between the main and the suburban shed.

" said:nice.. but doesnt platform 9 3/4 actually sit between P9 and 8 (for some reason)?I think it's supposed to be reached by walking through a wall, hence why the sign for it is between 8 and 9.. The discrepancy is because Rowling was actually thinking of a different station when she wrote it, not because she knew now-arcane facts about the station's historical track/platform numbering.

I'm using the loader version and I can't see that platform at all. Is it only available in the .exe version?

Must be an early exe version at that, having the station on the left.

This appears to have been drawn using a graphics editor.

I can't allow thousands of Potter fans to end up at the wrong place and walk into a real wall! See the new version with Jan's platform numbers from number one. So sensible!

Due to crowds of Muggles gathering at platform 9-and-three-quarters, the Hogwarts Express has been re-platformed.
