These platforms are closer together than the northbound platforms. The central reservation consists of a small area at the foot of the escalators from the lower concourse and a through passage towards the west end. A recess east of this on each platform gives stairs access to the northbound platforms.
There are two more recesses on platform 8. The third reces from the west end is the exit to the central reservation of the northbound platforms, whilst the entrance is east of this.
There is tactile paving along the edge of these platforms.
