Lomdon Termini - Platform Numbering

Further to the recent thread on this subject - I found another photo of Broad
Street and it confirms that the platforms were numbered 1-5 from right to
left. The definitive list, with Marylebone also corrected, is now:

Viewed from (concourse where present) lower number to higher, as below:-

ER Fenchurch Street: Right to left, facing east
ER King's Cross: Right to left, facing north
ER Liverpool Street: Left to right, facing northeast
ER/LMR/LT Moorgate: Right to left, facing west
LMR Broad Street: Right to left, facing north. Leftmost is Plat. 5.
LMR Euston: Right to left, facing north
LMR St Pancras: Left to right, facing north (plats 2-7) [Where was 1?]
SR Blackfriars: Left to right, facing south
SR Cannon Street: Left to right, facing south
SR Charing Cross: Left to right, facing south
SR Holborn Viaduct: Left to right, facing south
SR Victoria: Left to right, facing south
SR Waterloo (Main): Left to right, facing south
SR Waterloo East: Left to right, facing east (A to D) **
WR Marylebone: Right to left, facing north
WR Paddington: Left to right, facing west

** Included as it's part of Waterloo.

You could also include...

Metropolitan Railway Baker Street: Left to right, facing north

(If you also include the present Circle Line platforms, the numbering
scheme is downright odd. From left to right it's 6, 5, 1, 2, 3, 4.)
