Hastings Line operating restrictions

[55003]

Are there any operating restrictions on the Hastings Line south of Tonbridge?I was thinking of Tunbridge Wells where part of the platform is unusable on platform two.

Selective Door Opening at variouis stations.

High Brooms is full 12 car
Tunbridge Wells is 11 car
Other stations from Frant to West St Leonards are 8 car (I think they all are; happy to be corrected).
Can't remember about St Leonards Warrior Sq
Hastings is full 12 car

Also limits to max number of trains at any one time south of Tunbridge Wells (power supply limits).

And no 465/6 south of the TW berthing siding.

I thought that I had read somewhere that T Wells is now a 10 car restriction after the opening of the siding.

Tunbridge Wells- trains formed of 465/466 should not be more than 10 coach's, 12 car 375 formations are allowed as they have selective door opening. Also between Tun Wells and Bopeep Jn. 8 coach trains is the max allowed due to 3rd rail limitations but (unless its changed) 12 cars can run with control authorisation.

Not quite as bad as they were before 1986!
