Is the line between Bromley North & Grove Park single or double Track?

Thanks. I took a look at the place today. It is still possible for a train
to arrive in platform 2 while another is departing from platform 1. Mostly
the train uses platform 2, but the rails in platform 1 are not completely
rusty and overgrown, so it is apparent that the occasional train uses it to
keep the rails clean.

Yes that is correct. Platform 1 is occasionally used if 2 is occupied by a
special or, last autumn, by an unadvertised midday service from Cannon
Street whilst testing/commissioning the new 5 car units. Unusually, one
service was timed off platform 1 at London Bridge at 1319, exactly the same
time and platform as a scheduled train! A bit confusing.

Signallers at London Bridge are supposed to signal a couple of trains
in Platform one on a daily basis to assist in keeping rails rust free.

Lots of trains use Platform 1, but not at the same time! Do you mean P1 at
Bromley North?
