Platforms and Services
Trains to the city leave from platforms 2 and 4, trains travelling away from the city stop at platforms 3 and 5. Outside of peak hours and on weekends, trains almost exclusively depart from platforms 4 and 5. With the May 2006 timetable the station is now included on the South Coast Line timetable.
The station is served by six to eight trains per hour each way, with additional trains during weekday peak hours.

Famous quotes containing the words platforms and/or services:
“The personal things should be left out of platforms at conventions .... You can argue yourself blue in the face, and you’re not going to change each other’s minds. It’s a waste of your time and my time.”
—Barbara Bush (b. 1925)
“Working women today are trying to achieve in the work world what men have achieved all along—but men have always had the help of a woman at home who took care of all the other details of living! Today the working woman is also that woman at home, and without support services in the workplace and a respect for the work women do within and outside the home, the attempt to do both is taking its toll—on women, on men, and on our children.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
