Platform 10

[edit]

The north side of Platform 10 is only half the length of the original platform and is not suitable for use by trains of any length. I've never seen it used by Thameslink or First Captital Connect and believe it has never seen use since Tramlink opened. I believe that the designers of Tramlink said it would get used by Thameslink, but Thameslink were not interested in using the "half-platform". Big Mac 21:21, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It may be too short and maybe they don't like the turnaround issues.... Pickle 14:46, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It could just take 4 carriages at a push. Though I have seen a diesel loco parked there on occasions, usually when there is engineering work in the area though. Jrhilton 20:48, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Death of Tom Maynard

[edit]

He was a county cricketer who died after being struck by a tube train at the station in June 2012. [1] His father was the notable batsman Matthew Maynard. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.151.216.74 (talk) 11:18, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your ref states that it was "near Wimbledon Park station", not at Wimbledon station. This ref also states "near Wimbledon Park London Underground station" (in three different ways). It therefore doesn't belong here. --Redrose64 (talk) 14:19, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
