Which one is "correct"? When <br> using PTv2 I stick to just the original proposal description as the <br> various "translations" has made it harder and harder to understand (in <br> other words the platform name is fine).<br><br> However, I'd split them into single platforms, there's no need to <br> combine them.<br></blockquote><br>+ 1<br>Split the platforms if possible/convenient and you have time.<br>The train arrives at/departs from platform 4 ... not platform 4+5.<br><br>Central or 'Central Station' refers to the whole thing.
