Gloucester has the longest railway platform in Great Britain. The reason for this extreme length is due to a break-of-gauge between the Great Western Railway (7ft 0¼ in (2140 mm)) and London Midland and Scottish Railway (4 ft 8½ in (1435 mm)) tracks here prior to the latter's adoption as standard gauge in 1892.

What was was the platform that linked Manchester Exchange and Manchester Victoria. I don't know what is the longest now.

Railway station. Not the yankee "train station". Gee it annoys me.
