Probably stated in other folk's comments already but:
Platform 2 and the siding next to it were formerly used by Motorail, which is why it has a gate leading to the car park at the end of it. It's no longer in passenger use and is used as an extra siding now. The Southern Gateway development plan might end up tearing up the former platform 2 and the other siding to build a new entrance into the station.
Temple Meads' platforms use odd numbers for the northern end and even numbers for the southern end. Trains normally go to the platform fitting their onward direction (i.e. an even platform if it's headed south). Platform 13 is a terminating platform and trains can only depart to the north, so there is no accompanying platform 14.
Although platform 15 does have a connection to the south, in normal service it's only used by long trains that utilise the whole platform length so they just didn't bother splitting that one, I guess.
What more proof do you want? I literally noted one of your articles cited an organisation that has been repeatedly criticised for supporting gutting social welfare and cutting taxes on the wealthy. It's common sense to say that they are going to be biased against higher tax rates for the wealthy.
I changed it because an insurance company does not have an explicit, directly correlated motivation to falsify climate data. I might trust it, but that depends on other factors as well.
You don't even know what my ideology is.
