[edit] Platforms

There are seven platforms, but only five are in use. Platform 1 serves trains travelling northwards, to London Bridge and London Victoria most of these trains are slow serving many Southern stations. Platform 2 shares the same track as Platform 1, and is not used. Platform 3 is for faster services to London Bridge and Charing Cross, it is also the only northwards platform served by Southeastern. Platforms 4, 5 and 6 are for southwards services, to Croydon and beyond. Platform 7 is disused at the moment: it is likely that the East London line will use it when it is extended.
