THE PLATFORM LEVEL

DESCRIBE ONLINE

Overview

This level includes the outer and inner circle platforms.

The outer circle is a separate platform with the tracks to your left (east) and wall to your right. Trains run north, clockwise.

The inner circle, however, is a narrow, island platform with the outer circle track to your right (west) and inner circle track to your left. Trains run south, anti-clockwise.

You can only board the outer circle trains from the flank platform. We hope that a barrier will be erected along the west side of the inner circle platform so that this will become easier and safer, particularly when the station is crowded.

There is no tactile paving along the edge of either platform.

The Outer Circle Platform

To Reach

Go down 15 steps, going south onto the platform, there is no tactile at either the top or foot of these steps. The track is to your left, you're at the front of the train.

The Inner Circle Platform

To Reach

Turn right (east) from the foot of the escalator/steps and continue up six steps before turning right (south). Go down four then 16 steps, going south onto the platform. There is no tactile paving either at the top or foot of these steps. This is an island platform to which the inner circle trains pass to your left, you're at the rear of the train.

From the North

The only feature of concern is the door to the fire exit at the south end of the platform.
