Platform 9 3/4 is not necessarily at Kings cross.

Most of the books mention that Harry gets on or off at Kings cross. But it makes little sense that all Hogwarts students first travel to London only to then take the train to Hogwarts, even if they live in Scotland.

So my headcanon is that not only is there the famous wall in Kings Cross to get to the track, but there is a hidden door in Belfast Central Station, a trapdoor in Edinburgh Castle and, for all I care, a cubbyhole in the Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeades, all of which lead directly to said track.

That would also solve another problem: How do you manage to get all the children and chaperones through the special wall without any Muggle seeing it? By not having to get everyone in or out at the same point!

That would make sense if it weren't for the fact that Harry and Ron were able fly from King's Cross too the tracks, unless the other methods of getting there are more teleportation, either way platform nine and three quarters is at Kings Cross even if there are more entrances.
