Somewhat further afield, but Perth (Scotland, not WA) has yet to be mentioned.

Potentially, yes ... my original reading was of there being a platform where you could walk up to the junction end on the platform from one line and then back down the platform on the other line - a platform in the centre between the lines. Reading back, that may have been over-intepretting. And that brings to mind St Budeaux where it's near as darn it one station (certainly treated for such in that you cannot buy a ticket from one to the other) and the platforms are after the junction on the side of the old main line towards Exeter, and the branch that struck out ... wait - have I got that the wrong way round? |

There's some more Scottish examples - Kilwinning is a classic: it even has the station building and access in the "V". Dalmuir is another, though a bit more cramped. And what about Motherwell, Graham? Paisley Gilmour Street is one for its track layout, but not its geometry. And Keith, what's left of it, if you count the line to Dufftown. |

Plymstock Station? "A view of Plymstock station looking into the split between the two branches - the metals to the left going to Yealmpton and those to right heading onto an embankment and across the bridge the parapets of which can be be seen in the second picture of the Turnchapel branch 1961 Copyright Sid Sponheimer"  Image from the Cornwall Railway Society website - http://www.cornwallrailwaysociety.org.uk/turnchapel-branch.html# |

Have I missed inverness on reading through the above? - and going back, my memory of the layout at Durston is hazy, but the platform leading onto the B&H▸ via Lyng may have been angled.

There are others that look like definite maybes - like Watford Junction (on a technicality), or Willesden Junction (but likely to be overturned by VAR). But the north-west does seem to have the most; have you though of Dinting? Kidsgrove and Cheadle Hulme? Liverpool South Parkway is another one that depends on how you look at it, as is Bolton, while Stetchford, Wilmslow, and Wrexham General are safer bets. |

Yelverton?Sorry, I've re-read your original question properly now and see that you are asking about current day GWR▸ (of course!), which neither of my suggestions fall into Nothing to see here, carry on...  |

What about Pitsea in Essex. You can get off a train coming up from Grays walk across to the platform to catch a train to Basildon.
