Many years ago the Boat Train was stabbled there. It utilized UK
guage Wagon Lits consists.

I thought that I saw a cruise train stabled there a few months back.

Again unlikely, as loco-hauled charters almost invariably use platform 2 at
Victoria. They can then run via Brixton and Nunhead (not usually the Kent
House route to Bromley South), to the Brighton Line via Stewarts Lane and
Pouparts Junction, to the Windsor Lines via Stewarts Lane and Culvert Road
Junction (reaching the SWML at Byfleet Junction, or the GWML at Reading), or
the West London Line via Stewarts Lane and Latchmere.
