I've always had the impression that there was only one platform to board THE train to Hogwarts. And from later books, we know that she must already know having been a student there. Fortunately, little Ginny knows the answer (and she hasn't even been for all we know). Being excited, she must have read the letter/ticket. I simply assumed that Molly Weasley was feigning ignorance, because she knew that Ginny would pipe up with the answer. Kids love it when they can "show up" their parents.
