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)
“Men will say that in supporting their wives, in furnishing them with houses and food and clothes, they are giving the women as much money as they could ever hope to earn by any other profession. I grant it; but between the independent wage-earner and the one who is given his keep for his services is the difference between the free-born and the chattel.”
—Elizabeth M. Gilmer (1861–1951)
