I was at Crystal Palace today; came into the new platform 5, and
departed from platform 2 on a train to croydon. The now disused old
platform 4 is clearly not intended to be used anytime soon, though I
did read somewhere that it was going to be kept in a state such that
it could be re-instated if an extra platform was ever needed. The end
of the footbridge leading to this platform has been blocked by
decorative railings. there is a locked gate in them, but it is too
narrow to be intended for public use. [snip]

The gate wasn't actually locked today.

Maybe they had a few drivers opening up on the wrong side!
