FIND AN EXIT FROM A PLATFORM |
DESCRIBE ONLINE |
There are two exit routes from this station, one via the lower concourse to street level via the east or middle exit, the other via the Metropolitan Line concourse. As the name suggests, the Metropolitan Line concourse offers the easiest route from platforms 1 - 6, via the bridge, whilst exit from the other platforms is easier via the lower concourse. If you need a bus, however, we recommend you exit via the lower concourse, through the middle or east exits.
Whilst you could go from the lower concourse, via the subway, then via the bridge to street level via the Metropolitan line concourse, this is a very tortuous route for little gain at street level, we will therefore disregard this option.
Note, there is no tactile paving along the edge of any platforms in this station.
The doors will open on your left as you face the front of the train. Note that the rear carriage stops on a very narrow section of the platform.
Go beyond the front of the train and locate the steps in front of you. The steps up to the bridge are to your right of the steps down into the subway.

From the Metropolitan Line, the steps up to the bridge should be in front of you, whilst from the FCC, you'll have to move left to locate these steps.

Go into the passage and take the turning left (southbound) or right (northbound). If you don't find this, you're in the wrong passage.
