A metal rail runs about ten metres along the edge of platform 6, rather more on platform 5. A gutter runs along each platform, about two metres from the edge. These subsequently join to form a single gutter along the island platform, beyond the end of the covered area.
The following features were noted Along the middle of the island platform.

There's a metal board across the platform. There is also a rail beyond this, most of the way across the island. The board is beside the front door of the train.
On platform 5, if you miss the rail you could go down concrete steps which are not for public access.
You should not use the rear door of the train arriving on platform 5, doors opening on your right. This last door restriction doesn't appear to apply to platform 6 on which the doors will open on your left as you face the front of the train.
Since all services are beyond the front of the trains, we suggest you arrange to be near the front of your train before arrival.
