There's step-free access from all upper level platforms to street level, though there is stairs or lift access from the lower level platforms.
These are terminus platforms, at which the doors will open on your left for odd numbered, or right for even numbered platforms. As you move beyond the front of the train, the gate line is in front of you.

If you go through the left-hand of the two manual gates, the exit is in front of you, to the right of Upper Crust. Having left the concourse, you can either continue forward down the steps or turn left and right following the ramp to street level.
