Would there be any objections to moving this to Beckenham Junction? There isn't anything else called "Beckenham Junction", so the "station" seems superfluous. -- CapitalLetterBeginning 15:27, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
IIRC didn't SER get here first with the line from London Bridge ( Mid-Kent Railway), then the West End of London and Crystal Palace Railway (ie [[London, Chatham and Dover Railway |LCDR]]).... ???
The article says:
"There are five platforms: two through, two bay and two Tramlink."
On my fingers that makes six, as in the summary box. The "and" precludes counting Tramlink platforms as being one or both of those two bays. How many things are there on the table? There are five beans and the beans are food so there are six things.
My recollection is that Tramlink did use a bay but I've no idea what else was lurking out of sight.--

I've had a look at google maps and tramlink single track end in two bays. So I've updated the page 81.104.2.196 ( talk) 20:48, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
The article says:
"There are two platforms: usually the right-hand one is used." Me, I can't work that out, am I meant to be facing Up or Down? France or the Great Wen?--

In what way is the full station building "awful"? POV I think. The older picture is out of date, since it lacks the "Southeastern" signboard upon the awning. best, Sunil060902 ( talk) 20:09, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
I have removed two tables from the "Services" section. Wikipedia is not a travel guide; it is not the purpose of an encyclopedia to give the times and stopping patterns of train services. There are already links to various websites which specialise in such information, such as National Rail Enquiries. The big problem with including timetables is that if done for one station, we'd have to do it for all - and there are something of the order of 2500 stations on the National Rail network. Then there is the problem of keeping them up to date - there are general changes to the timetables every May and December, also those which sometimes occur in March or September on some routes, not to mention the minor changes which may occasionally happen. It's now just eleven days until the next major change, and I do not relish the prospect of validating any timetable information that we may have included. Therefore, I have removed it. -- Redrose64 ( talk) 10:55, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
