Looking north along the Thameslink platforms - Platform 4 for northbound trains is on the left. Trains change at this station from the ex-Southern Railway 850V DC third-rail to the more modern 25kV AC overhead-wire. Through dual-voltage working here commenced in 1986 with Class 319 trains, many of which are stillin service although they are slowly being replaced by the more modern and superior Class 377. The platforms are very busy as it is afternoon rush-hour.
