Platform 1, although we call it eastbound, is actually bi-directional.
The most straightforward route between platforms is via the bridge. The step-free route between the platforms involves a significant detour through the local road network, see the Environs page for details.
The doors will open as follows, as you face the front of the train:
There is no tactile paving along the edge of the platforms.

From Platform 1 From Platform 2 |
Get off the train, turn right and continue to the steps to the bridge, which are apparently in the middle of the platform. I say "apparently" as the platform passes to the right of the steps, whilst the bit to the left goes down a slope into a walkway which is not for public use. Beware, also, that there's no tactile paving along the edge of the platform.
Having found the steps, go up a flight of steps, turn right then go up six steps onto the bridge. Cross the slightly hump backed bridge, then go down six steps before turning right and going down a flight of steps onto platform 2. You're behind the rear of the train.
We believe only westbound trains use this platform.
Turn towards the rear of the train and follow the right-hand side till you reach the steps to the bridge, in front of you. Go up a flight of steps, turn left then go up six steps. Continue, over the slightly hump backed bridge, down six steps before turning left and going down a flight of steps onto platform 1. Continue forward from here to be beside the train.
