Platforms 2 - 5 at London Bridge are Bi-directional, Platform 6 has
turnback facilities.

Southbound Thameslinks are booked to use Platform 5 but can use
Platform 4.

All other southbound trains will use either Platforms 1 -3 from Cannon
Street or Platforms 4 & 5 from Charing Cross.

Likewise Nortbound Thameslinks use Platform 6, but can use Platforms 4
& 5 too. As can all Northbound Charing Cross trains.

Cannon Street bound trains can only use Platforms 2 & 3

If platform 4 or 5 are used in the up/northbound direction it causes
conflict with down/southbound service to the London end of the
station.

Hope this helps, any more info, gladly help.

I'm also pretty sure that the Canterbury services also use Platform 5.
It's either 5 or 4.

The lines from Charing Cross only connect to platforms 4, 5, and 6.
The lines from Cannon Street only connect to platforms 1, 2, and 3.

I can't remember off the top of my head which platforms are
bi-directional, but when you combine the directions with the above,
there's very little opportunity for variation.
