Imagine standing in that queue to have your photo taken against a wall while 8 trans women are watching, judging you.

We'd just been in the pub, by the way. Some of us use our time better.

It isn't even the location from the film. That's between platforms 4 and 5 because Rowling is a hack.

A bunch of people standing in a queue at Kings Cross Station to have their photo taken under a sign that says, "Platform 9 3/4"

Elaine reshared this.

I was always confused by the choice, given that platforms 9 and 10 were out in the shed to the side with two tracks between them (although it looks like they've renumbered 11 as 10 and there are only two tracks there now). First time I saw the 9 3/4 exhibit it didn't have a queue of people. I was mildly amused by it, even if it was in completely the wrong place.

@David Hough They lost one of the platforms in the suburban station, yes. It went as part of the Thameslink Programme because the paths into suburban are the same ones needed to access the tunnel into the Thameslink core.

@David Hough Railing’s stupid invention would have sort of worked had they re-numbered after opening platform 0 because then 9 and 10 (present 8 and 9) would have had what is now the floor under the Parcel Yard pub between them.

@David Hough The lesson in all this is that if you’re gonna be a massive transphobe, you need to make damn sure the shit about trains in your books is watertight because WE WILL KNOW.

Skip to the bit where they give them a trolley and they break their noses running at the wall
