I took a look at the place today. It is still possible for a train to arrive in platform 2 while another is departing from platform 1. Mostly the train uses platform 2, but the rails in platform 1 are not completely rusty and overgrown, so it is apparent that the occasional train uses it to keep the rails clean. Peter |

Yes that is correct. Platform 1 is occasionally used if 2 is occupied by a
special or, last autumn, by an unadvertised midday service from Cannon Street whilst testing/commissioning the new 5 car units. Unusually, one service was timed off platform 1 at London Bridge at 1319, exactly the same time and platform as a scheduled train! A bit confusing. MaxB "Peter Masson" wrote in message ...

Signallers at London Bridge are supposed to signal a couple of trains
in Platform one on a daily basis to assist in keeping rails rust free. On Thu, 2 Jun 2005 09:03:45 +0100, "MaxB" wrote: Yes that is correct.

Lots of trains use Platform 1, but not at the same time! Do you mean P1 at
Bromley North? "Christine" wrote in message ... Signallers at London Bridge are supposed to signal a couple of trains in Platform one on a daily basis to assist in keeping rails rust free.
