Once the timetable is robust, and there is enough slack in the infrastructure, you can start doing cute things like stopping mid-platform to save passenger shoe leather.
Redhill only has 4 platforms - and only 3 of them are on through lines - but a much higher proportion of services terminate or reverse there. The needs of the greater good - allowing enough operational railway to mitigate failures - outweigh the needs of the comparatively small number of interchange passengers who would benefit from the shorter walk or easier change. That and as previously stated many times - the Thameslink timetable, which everything that gets remotely near the Brighton main line has to fit into, is so knife-edge that seemingly small changes have large and far reaching consequences.

Platform staff Southern were sending all westbound passengers out to buses in the car park - but the bus drivers were adamant that they were only going to Reigate, with no certainty there would be any trains heading west from there. Back into the station where platform staff were still saying go to Reigate by bus and hope something runs from there. Passengers from Gatwick with luggage and connections to make at Reading were heading to and fro, uncertain whether to try that or buy new tickets to go via London.
Basically no-one wanted to do anything for GWR passengers. Eventually I saw on Realtime that a GWR train was apparently expected to get through to Redhill, so I hung on there until it did arrive and formed a train back, around an hour after I should have left. Just returned from another Redhill journey today.
The from Dorking Deepdene arrives at platform 0 at and leaves at , with absolutely no clash with any other scheduled workings on platform 1. It could, and should, use platform 1. At the moment, the stopping position is plain stupid.
There is also no 'next train' DMI on the platform by the stairs, only a summary of departures, which is not what passengers coming up the stairs at platform 0 need to see first.
However, there ARE four DMIs further along the platform - a huge over-provision for passengers who are already on the platform!
The reverser from Gatwick has 2 minutes separating it from the Tonbridge arrival. The signalling headway makes this perfectly achievable, even with the permissive rules. With a three car train, reversing in three minutes at Redhill should be easily achievable, OR the Tonbridge arrival could be re-timed to a minute earlier, which still gives a two minute clearance for the Horsham departure from platform 3. Two minute crossings are routine, e. IF there is disruption, there is always the fall-back of platform 0, but platform 1 should be the first choice, to minimise connection difficulty the subway is terrible at times already.
As it is, passengers are needlessly inconvenienced in so many ways, simply because no thought has been given to the easy ways in which they could be assisted. To those who say 'could you do better?

I know you generally dislike GWR but suggesting that they have no interest in operating a reliable timetable and are simply in it for the money - particularly knowing there are GWR members of staff on this forum who take their personal time to provide information and updates - and who clearly care about providing as good a service as possible - is frankly offensive IMO.
I think the stopping point is due to signal sighting issues. FenMan Member. Redhill MRT station has two exits on the north and south side of the station. All exits offer barrier-free accessibility for the disabled.
Redhill station connects to several bus stops in the vicinity, as well as taxi stands and passenger pick-up points. In the event of a MRT service disruption affecting Redhill station, rail bridging services also called MRT breakdown shuttle buses may be activated to ply affected stretches of the East West Line. In which case, the buses can be boarded from the following bus stops:. Serving residential developments and schools in the Redhill and Alexandra areas, the station encounters moderate demand throughout the day.
The person had climbed over a locked gate at Redhill station, and walked east along the tracks.
