10 years ago Waverley got extra platforms and the chance was taken to rationalise the numbering. The numbers 5 and 6 however weren't used presumably to future-proof the numbering to allow for the 'half' platforms between 4 and 7 to be extended and come into passenger use. Although I pass through the station regularly this is the first time I've noticed that 6 and (implicity) 5 are signposted already, though on the ground nothing has changed and I can't see that extra capacity at the east end is needed. Can anybody help with this one?
