PLATFORMS 1 AND 2 |
DESCRIBE ONLINE |
Assuming the anti-clockwise traffic flow through the station, we presume the steps up to the right (west) are the entrance. Go up 15 then 15 steps, going west, from the main corridor, onto the middle of the island platform.
Assuming the anti-clockwise traffic flow through the station, we presume the steps going down to the west are the exit. From the middle of the island platform, go down 15 then 15 steps, going west, into the main corridor. These steps are divided into two sets by a central rail.
There is clear tactile paving along each edge of the platform and a metal drainage grating runs along the middle of the open sections. There is no tactile paving at the foot or top of the steps between the platform and the main corridor. Each set of steps is divided into two by a central rail.
All features are in the middle of the island unless stated otherwise.
Since the buildings exhibit different features on each platform, we've departed from our usual practices and described the buildings in total rather than as isolated features along each platform.
