Taking heed of the 10 minute minimum connection time that applies at this large station, we next board the 1441 Southeastern service to Westenhanger that arrives at 1610 on Saturday afternoon.

Furthermore, I am surprised that Charing Cross has a ten minute minimum connection time. I know its a London terminal but it only has six platforms.
