PLATFORMS 1 TO 4 |
DESCRIBE ONLINE |
Platform 3, which we understand to be the main southbound platform for GNER services, lies west of the concourse. Platform 4 leads north from this, from a point a few metres north of the concourse.
There are two bay platforms to the east of platforms 3 and 4. Platform 1, to the south, shares an island with platform 3; whilst platform 2, to the north shares an island with platform 4.
There's no tactile paving near the edges of these platforms.

This description starts from the west side of the Upper Crust kiosk, which is in the southwest corner of the concourse. By splitting it in this way, we give an indication of the sequence of services presented as you move away from the concourse. You'll note that we go some distance before we reach what appeared to be designated as the south end of platform 4.
