    I have no idea, but the train would be too long for the platform so something must have been done to ensure people didn't drop to the ballast (I assume) - unless the signal was clear and the loco could draw up past the signal when arriving and all passenger doors could squeeze into the platform.

    If a charter is coming to a station that will not take the full length of the train the TM discusses with the guard which coaches will be platformed, he, the guard, then informs the driver and usually guides him as to when to stop. Meanwhile the TM has informed the stewards responsible for the coaches that will not be platformed and they act accordingly. This system works with or without CDL.

    Indeed, but in cases like this, unless the starting/shunt signal is already clear, there is no choice - the loco and support coach would need to be platformed to avoid a SPAD, thus leaving however much of the rear out of the platform. Of course, at Clapham Junction at that hour, the shunt route to/across the yard to the Windsor lines may well already have been set up, allowing the loco and support to clear the platform on arrival and the passenger coaches (or most of them) to be platformed. I was just curious about how this one ended up - nothing more than that.
