Just browsing the last page of your thread...
I have two questions about "continental" platforms...
1. where there were only short length platforms would some trains stop twice - pulling forward to bring a second set of carriages into position?
2. Were some platforms not just different in height on different companies and in different places but sometimes different in height along their length? Here in the UK this still occurs in a few places where early platforms were built low and later extensions built to a new (higher) standard.
I'm glad you guys are continuing to post, most UK people seem to have gone into hibernation...
