[edit] Platform Length

For some reason i recall some one asking about platform 8 being in southern of southeastern usage. I got a southeastern train from 8 (its on its own on the southeastern side) on Friday. I also have a feeling this data was relevant;
Platform 1 - 12 Cars
Platform 2 - 14 Cars
Platform 3 - 8 Cars
Platform 4 - 8 Cars
Platform 5 - 12 Cars (10 Car Networker)
Platform 6 - 12 Cars (10 Car Networker)
Platform 7 - 12 Cars
Platform 8 - 8 Cars
Platform 9 - 12 Cars
Platform 10 - 12 Cars
Platform 11 - 12 Cars
Platform 12 - 12 Cars
Platform 13 - 12 Cars - Gatwick Express
Platform 14 - 12 Cars - Gatwick Express
Platform 15 - 12 Cars
Platform 16 - 12 Cars
Platform 17 - 12 Cars
Platform 18 - 12 Cars - Diesel trains
Platform 19 - 12 Cars - Diesel trains

Probably just a couple of short sentences indicating above would be sufficient - e.g., "All the platforms on the Brighton side take trains up to 12 cars in length. On the Chantham side, the max. train lengths vary from 8 to 14. What do you think? A bit iffy 11:33, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Not sure how to incorporate it really. Platform 2 is very unusually long, IIRC the VSOE uses it for its runs to Folkestone Harbour. Really did it as i had the source open, ands its therefore here, typed up, for when I get around to using it! Pickle 13:44, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 1991 IRA bomb

The article states that it was a man, David Corner, that was killed. However, I see to recall it was a woman that died. Can anyone throw some light on this? A bit iffy 11:33, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
