[Talk-GB] [Talk-gb-westmidlands] New St station platform alignments

[SK53]

I've certainly found that in most large shopping centres/malls etc.,
support elements are usually regularly spaced, and at least estimating what
this spacing is & using it to correlate with features observable from
outside can help refine positioning. Obviously platform lifts & escalators
fit this pattern too.
