And Berkeley Road They're coming in thick and fast aren't they  Thinking more about it, the Midland Railway seems to be disproportionately represented in the examples listed so far. |

Further afield but iconic: Carnforth. Branch line platforms still in use, of course.

Ambergate used to be a triangular station like Shipley, and yet another Midland Railway example.

Topologically, but double and grade-separated, Raynes Park. (Is there a specific German word for that kind?)
I think the south of London networks are the natural habitat of the beasties here - Hither Green and Sutton also qualify.
Maybe there's fewer than I thought in the London suburbs (though Lewes is the classic one further out). I suspect there's more around Paris, or at least similar oddly-shaped platforming arrangements. Asnières-sur-Seine is a proper one, but Bécon-les-Bruyères (the next station) isn't quite: it's disjunct (i.e. two separate stations with tracks between them). Ermont-Eaubonne used to be one, but fifteen years ago they disjunctioned it - the branch that looped south towards St Lazare now terminates at this end. |

From Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KeilbahnhofKeilbahnhof (plural: Keilbahnhöfe, literally: "wedge station") is the German word for a station located between branching tracks.[1] There appears to be no direct English equivalent for this term, (though 'junction station' would be an equivalent meaning) which appears in the route diagrams of German railway lines. In a keilbahnhof, the platforms curve in opposite directions so that they are parallel at one end of the station & not at the other. I can think of some in the UK▸ (Dovey Junction springs to mind) ... but none currently GWR▸ . Anyone? In a sense, Worcester Foregate Street counts. From the eastern end, you can only go to Shrub Hill/ London from one platform, and only to Droitwich/Birmingham from the other. |

Amazing how many different setups we can find! |

Yes (OT) like Manchester Victoria and Exchange in a way sharing a platform. Victoria P11 at one end and Exchange P3 at the other |
