Few lines can survive dramatic declines in passenger numbers.

Which station in the KT postal area (SW of London) was built with more
than 6 platforms but now operates with fewer than 3 platforms?

Tattenham Corner?

Epsom Downs originally had 8 platforms. AIUI the branch is now worked as a
siding, with a single platform at the terminus.

Does Esher retain platforms on the Fast Lines? It used to have some Race
Platforms as well as platforms on the 4 through lines.

Twickenham used to have several more platforms than the 3 (?) used now.

IIRC it was down to 2 (or was it 4) in the 70's. Wasn't it a fire at the
local signal box which reduced it to single line working?

Later, the line was shortened back and the original land sold to build a
small housing estate on. This I have seen recently.

The very derelict platforms are still there, but the stairs down from
the overbridge are gone.
