PLATFORMS 1 AND 2

DESCRIBE ONLINE

Overview

There are other platforms and buildings to the west of platform 1 which are not accessible to the public. The roof of platform 1 is not the same structure as for platform 2 which is part of the main station roof.

There's tactile paving near the edge of each of these platforms, though we found no tactile paving along the edges of other platforms in this station.

The platforms slope down towards a drainage channel which runs along the middle of the platform, till you reach the buildings.

There are yellow arrows painted on the platforms indicating the way to the lifts.

To Reach

You can reach these platforms via the west bridge, via steps from the north subway or via lift from the south subway.
