Answer 2

Hi there. Yes the sidings are still in use. There is only one track where the trains sit, but Southeastern do not often keep trains there because the trains are at risk of vandalism.

In my old job I used report when there was Trespass & Vandalism there. I am now based in Euston Station.

If you want to get good pictures the best place is from the sportsground opposit (which is where the trespassers & vandals access the line)...There is a new Gym built on part of the site which boarders the line.

I hope that my answer helps.
