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)
I have no information on trains using platforms 1 and 2 only on Saturdays. I agree that the platforms are occasionally used during engineering work but such work also takes place on Sundays as well. I am very, very, very surprised that a train was calling there at 0322 because normally there are no trains timetabled to stop there overnight from around midnight to 0500 . I cannot find any reference to a regular non-stop service from Purley to Brighton. Come to think of it there never has been !! This is from a long serving BR staff from the Croydon area [[[Special:Contributions/92.29.8.9|92.29.8.9]] ( talk) 13:25, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
I have to agree with Mtford. I travel between London Bridge and Purley on a daily basis. If I leave work late - and take the fast train that leaves London Bridge just before 20:00 it is scheduled to stop at platform 2. It does so every day regardless of engineering works - so therefore the current wiki-page that claims Platform 2 is not used during the week is just plain innacurate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.169.165.171 ( talk) 19:16, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
My records show the station reopened 5 August 1856 with the branch line to Caterham. [[[Special:Contributions/92.29.8.9|92.29.8.9]] ( talk) 13:27, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
The figures on usage look very inflated. I've just added the 2010-11 figure from the usual source and can't see where such high figures for the preceding years could have come from. Johnlp ( talk) 22:43, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
7.3 Other Impacts on Station Usage 7.3.1 Gating Schemes Installation of ticket gates can significantly affect not only the usage figures at that station, but also those at neighbouring stations. The gates help to ensure that customers purchase tickets, but customers may also alter their travel patterns to avoid gated stations. We would expect travel patterns to be most affected in the months following the installation of the gates.
