Does anyone know the names of these two stations and the history of them, the remains of both platforms is on one and further up towards Minster there is a single platform next to a building which I presume is an old signal box.

Are they DOO compatible, I can only see Body Indicator Lights on the outside not cameras. Surely they won't have guards on them?

With all the new franchises having DOO introduction put into the contract of the franchise, how will this happen with Operators such as Northern who have no compatible DOO trains, will they pay to have Platform CCTV added onto stations?

As far as I am aware the Class 376's have no guard panels in the carriages or in the cabs, they are fully DOO, in regards to Class 377's the guard panels in the cabs have been sealed over to stop guards dispatching from the cabs, guards can only dispatch in the cabs by using the 10 bell dispatch...
As for Class 377's with DOO cameras fitted when made, below is a link of a Derby Move with a Class 377 and you can see the side cameras.

Trains do run from Tonbridge to London DOO during major disruption, if the guard is misplaced, however it can't stop at Hildenborough due to no staff to dispatch it or platform monitors.

The problem is that a lot of passengers have become frustrated with all the hassle for the past year that a lot of staff get conflict when doing ticket checks from frustrated passengers who refuse to show tickets because of all the strikes.
