> Tracks in most of the world's train stations are numbered starting from Track 1 In France sometimes tracks aren't numbered but lettered. Sometimes they're both - e.g. the same train station can have tracks A, B, 1, 2, 3, 4 ( e.g. Avignon TGV, where 1 and 4 are for stopping high speed trains, 2,3 are for passing through high speed trains, and A(maybe also B, don't remember) is a separate track terminating at that station for the commuter rail link to Avignon's main railway station). Sometimes there are weird likes like only two tracks, one is 1bis, the other A. Or 1 and 1bis. Usually it's related to the historical evolution of the train station ( e.g. in the 1/1bis case it was a single track station which was expanded).
