According to [1] nineteen national rail trains will depart from Euston in the next hour. And according to [2] Euston has 16 platforms.

Can a station platform really only dispatch 1.2 trains per hour? Fifty minutes per train? Seems kinda low to me.

I guess they need time to clean the trains, and space for trains that arrive well before their scheduled departure time. But still, it seems like a lot of platforms for the number of trains.
