Was the re-use of station platforms elsewhere a common practice?

Chalvey Halt closed in 1930 and the platforms were apparently re-used in the construction of Cashes Green Halt.
Perhaps a railway historian can explain the apparent situation of Cashes Green Halt supposedly opening on 22 January 1930 but Chalvey Halt not closing until 6 July 1930. Where were Chalvey Halt's platforms between 23 January and 5 July?

Disused stations suggests that Uralite Halt on the Allhallows branch was dismantled after closure and reassembled as Hoo Junction staff halt:

I believe Bedford StJohns platform used to belong to Fenny Stratford before the line was singled at that station.

I'm not a railway historian but..
Cashes Green Halt may have had a platform made out of disused sleepers, which was the style at the time, and when Chalvey Halt closed the decision was made to resuse the platform at Cashes Green.

Falmouth town's platform came from the recently closed perranporth station at the.time it was constructed.

When the line through Weston Milton was singled, I believe the second platform there was removed and eventually used to built the platform at Lympstone Commando.

Let us examine the facts:-

Chalvey Halt was only open for a period of some fourteen months from its opening date of 6th May 1929 to its closing date of 6th July 1930. However, it does not necessarily follow that platform dismemberment would have occurred immediately. The fact that the timbers had only been in use for a period of some fourteen months would be one known to the Great Western Railway and these timber-baulks would have replaced any existing ones of a lesser quality at Cashes Green Halt that had only been open for a period of just over four months, being opened on 22nd January 1930 with two timber-baulk platforms and corrugated iron shelters.

I trust that this may shed some light on your query.

I believe the canopies from the nearly completed but never opened Lullingstone station in Kent were used to replace the overall roof at Canterbury East.

Ha! And if I'd read the OP's question properly I'd have realised it was about platforms, not canopies. Sorry.
