Unsure whether the thread would fit into this subforum or the Infrastructure & Stations subforum so mods, please move if needed.

Anyway, I was just wandering if anyone could tell me of anything that tells me which platform a train uses at some 4 Track stations, specifically on the lines from London Bridge to Orpington as RTT doesn't show it and I unfortunately don't have any other websites I could use for it.

Does anyone know of anything that would work in this situation? A good one to try if you want to test it is Petts Wood. Thanks for any help in advance.

Although RTT doesn't show platforms in advance at Petts Wood, it does show which line a train is booked to use from Orpington, and at Petts Wood Junction.

Therefore, if the train shows 'SL' leaving Orpington it will be on the slow lines, and if it shows 'FL' leaving Orpington it will be on the fast lines.

If it switches between the fast and slow lines, like this train, https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:G94615/2023-11-22/detailed, a different line will be shown at Petts Wood. So, this train stops at platform 1 at Orpington, but platform 3 at Petts Wood, but that is fairly uncommon.

Traksy is a signal section map, so that will actually show you when the train arrives at the station
