Should be in the quails, but they'll be in the only quails I don't have....

And those will only show how many carriages a platform can take (assuming 20m for a carriage IIRC).

Could get a fair estimate though.

Might be worth contacting JulianG. I believe it is his local mainline station. Looking at Google Maps, I'd guess approximately six/seven coaches tops.

I believe West Brompton (National Rail) has four car platforms

NR are 4 car. LUL are about 150m (just over 6 cars of D stock)

The maximum length of trains that can use platforms at NR stations are given in the NR Rules of the Plan guides (http://www.networkrail.co.uk/aspx/3741.aspx), it is fair to assume the platform will not be much (if any) longer than this.

According to it, both platforms 3 and 4 can take a train of length 90m.

I sometimes change at Earls Court, West Brompton and Clapham Junction on the way back from Heathrow to avoid Central London in the rush with a big grip. The platform easily takes a 4 car 377 but wouldnt take much more. Wouldnt be suitable for a railtour, its a barriered station operated by London Underground.
