Few lines can survive dramatic declines in passenger numbers.

Which station in the KT postal area (SW of London) was built with more
than 6 platforms but now operates with fewer than 3 platforms?

Tattenham Corner?

Epsom Downs originally had 8 platforms. AIUI the branch is now worked as a
siding, with a single platform at the terminus.

IIRC it was down to 2 (or was it 4) in the 70's. Wasn't it a fire at the
local signal box which reduced it to single line working?

Later, the line was shortened back and the original land sold to build a
small housing estate on. This I have seen recently.
