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:
“I would rather be known as an advocate of equal suffrage than to speak every night on the best-paying platforms in the United States and ignore it.”
—Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)
“The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
