[edit] Platforms 1 and 2

Platforms 1 and 2 are certainly used on Saturdays, when a non-stop service exists between Purley and Brighton. I don't know if they are used at any other time - I assume not. Mtford 12:18, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Somebody reverted my sentence about Saturdays. Please discuss the matter on this page if you disagree with a recent edit. I know for a fact that Purley has a scheduled half-hourly service running nonstop to Brighton on Saturdays (it's in the European timetable here, which doesn't take account of engineering works), and I also know that it stopped on platform 2 when I used the service two weeks ago. Other trains were stopping at platforms 3/4 as usual, and there were no major engineering works in the area, so I assume that platforms 1/2 are in regular use for this service. In fact, looking at the live departure board, I see there is a train scheduled to call at platform 1 in 25 minutes from now, at 0322 on a Friday morning (though this might not be accurate).
