==== Traffic ==== The station is claimed to be the busiest in Europe in terms of the number of trains that pass through. Most Waterloo-bound trains from parts of Hampshire, Berkshire, Surrey and Sussex stop here, and most Victoria-bound trains from parts of Surrey, Hampshire and Sussex stop here. The consequence of this huge amount of traffic is that the station is the main place for changing trains and is very crowded at commuting times. Platforms 5, 6, 10 and 12 in the morning, and platforms 11, 13 and 15 in the evening get especially congested. --[[Rowley Birkin QC]], November 2007. |

There's a small Sainsbury's and an M&S Simply Food (no Tesco) in the main entrance (ie outside the ticket barrier). Also in that area are a Costa Coffee, a Caffè Nero and that pasty shop (the Burger King has gone), along with a small WH Smith's and a small newspaper/magazine outlet. Toilets (20p coin needed) are in the main walkway under the platforms (ie inside the ticket barrier). Many other coffee places and small shops are dotted around the station. --[[Rowley Birkin QC]], November 2007. |

Facilities
I've not been here for a couple of years, but when I used to commute via here there was a small supermarket of some kind (Tesco, I think, can't remember) at the entrance to the station, and a few other things including a West Cornwall Pasty Company outlet, and one of those places where you buy a pack of pre-prepared ingredients to take home and cook. Possibly some of these places have disappeared in the meantime. --Kake
