PLATFORMS 1 - 3 |
DESCRIBE ONLINE |
There is a common entrance to platforms 1, 2 and 3 near the east end of the north side of the corridor. This leads down a ramp with railings both sides. When the slope levels out the right hand railing recedes at an angle. If you follow this railing you reach the top of some steps down. If you carry straight on however the ramp goes further down, with a railing between ramp and steps. There are 7 steps down and opposite the bottom is a wall. Turning right from the bottom of the steps takes you into a wide area occupied at the time of the survey by a number of lorries, some machinery and a variety of large boxes and other obstacles. It is not advised therefore to come this way.
Carry on down the ramp, the bottom of which opens out into a wide area. platform 3 is to your left, platform 2 is to your right; whilst platform 1 is further to your right.
Platform 3, is to your left, extending south of the ramp, into an area which is not for public use.
For platform 2, bear right (1:30) and continue to the railing or the tactile paving before the edge of the platform.
For platform 1, turn right (east) there is a concrete wall on the right with a blank door, the wall retreats south towards the lorry area previously mentioned. There are several large arches in this south wall.
Bear right (1 o'clock) from the end of the wall and walk approximately 30 metres until you reach the railing guarding the end of track 2. Alternatively carry on straight until you reach the tactile paving near the edge of platform 2 and then turn right (south). At the end of the railing turn left (east) following the railing across the end of tracks 1 and 2. Almost opposite you and slightly right on the far wall is a gated entrance for vehicles, with traffic noise from Eversholt Street. Turn left (north) still following the railing. You are now on platform 1.
