THE CONCOURSE |
DESCRIBE ONLINE |
This section describes the upper level (the Subway in the tactile map) and the lower level (the Concourse in the tactile map). We've put them together in the hope that this gives a better understanding of the space between the entrances/exits from street level and the stairs/escalators to the intermediate level of the station.
The upper concourse runs approximately north/south, with the station entrance, to the lower concourse, near the north end of the east side.
There are four pairs of exits (entrances) each of which is accessed via a passage running to a T-junction. Details of each exit are given in the Environs section.
The passages to exits 1 - 2 and 7 - 8 leave from the north end of the upper concourse, whilst the passage leaving the south end divides into passages for exits 3 - 4 and 5 - 6.

The steps from the upper concourse are divided into four flights by rails. The left-hand two flights (northeast end) are entrances, the others exits. Go down eight steps, going southeast, into the lower concourse. There's tactile flooring at the top and bottom of these steps.
The lower concourse is divided into entrance and exit areas by a row of pillars and paper racks which starts opposite the 2 entrance flights of stairs.
