The Easternmost platform at Stockport station is number zero. It was added in 2003 to provide extra capacity but not used until 2008.
Only three other stations in the UK have a platform zero, Edinburgh Haymarket, London King's Cross and Cardiff Central.
Also curious is that is the only platform that has direct level access to the street.
Another curious sight I found recently on platform zero can be seen on my photoblog sithenah.

Unusual!
ReplyDeleteA good post for the theme! Reminds me of a dormitory I lived in while attending college that had a floor below the first level that we called zero alley.
ReplyDeleteFantastic contribution to the curiosity theme! Never heard about number zero platforms, reminds me of Harry Potter's 9 3/4. ;-)
ReplyDeleteVery curious that the number is zero. What happens if they decide to build another one further down the line?
ReplyDeleteCurious that it was added after the fact of construction. More travelers or destination to cover?
ReplyDeleteVery curious! Good for the theme.
ReplyDeleteNot only curious but interesting. I've learned something :).
ReplyDeleteThat is a unique way to do it:)
