Describe Online |
The refurbishment of this station has provided a new, south entrance from Merkland Court, plus stairs and lift access to the mainline platforms. There is still only escalator access to the Subway. There is tactile paving along the edge of all platforms in this station.
The gates to the Subway have been moved so as to face the escalators for each circle.
Continue, past the two doors on your right. The first two ticket sales windows are for the Subway.
As you continue from the entrance, you pass the gates to the inner then outer circle, beyond which the barrier turns right towards the main entrance. If you continue, across the concourse from here, the ticket sales windows are in front of you, with the right-hand two windows (those nearer the main entrance), being for the Subway.
Having got your ticket, cross the concourse, turn right and follow the barrier to your left towards the gates. You pass the gates to the outer circle before you reach those for the inner.
You go through the gates nearer the ticket sales windows. Go through the gates and continue to the escalators in front of you. The left-hand escalator is normally the one you need. Go down to subway level and follow the wall on your left which juts out then veers left again along the platform, you're near the rear of the train.
You go through the further set of gates from the ticket sales windows. There are four automatic gates, the first of which is a disabled access gate. Go through the gates and continue forward to the escalators. The right-hand escalator is normally the one you need. Go down to subway level and follow the wall on your right which juts out then veers right again, along the platform, you're near the front of the train.
From the main entrance, continue past the two doors and the first two ticket sales windows on your right. The third and fourth ticket sales windows are for the mainline.
From the south entrance, continue forward to the wall in front of you, beyond the barrier to the Subway. The left-hand two ticket sales windows (further from the main entrance) are for the mainline.
Turn left from the ticket sales window, continue past the lift and take the first turning right (north) towards the escalators. Note that there's a pillar in the passage outside the lift door. The left-hand escalator is normally the one you need. Go up to platform level, turn left and continue through the automatic doors onto the platform. we believe you're beside the rear half of the train.
Turn left from the ticket sales windows and locate the lift on your right between these and the escalators. Note that there's a pillar opposite the door to the lift.
The call button is to your right of the door, go up to platform level and leave via the other doors. Turn left and continue, across the waiting area, through the automatic doors, onto the platform. We believe you're about in the middle of the train.
Turn left from the ticket sales windows and continue a short distance into the passage towards the escalators before crossing this, turning back and following the wall round to your right. The first gap on your right leads to the stairs. Note that there's a pillar outside the door to the lift as you go into the passage and there are two pillars across the gap leading to the stairs.
There are six flights of seven steps between concourse and platform level. Having entered the gap from the concourse, the foot of the stairs is to your right leading away at about 1:30. Go up this flight then continue, following to your left, up five more flights, to platform level.
At the top, bear left (10:30), continue across a bridge over the passage, into the waiting area. Continue forward about two metres then turn left towards the automatic doors onto the platform. We believe you're about in the middle of the train.
Turn left from the ticket sales window and continue along the passage in front of you. As you reach the end of this passage, the escalators are on your right, whilst the stairs lead left from the end of the passage, with the lift just before these.
Turn right at the end of the passage and continue towards the escalators. The left-hand escalator is normally the one you need. Go up to platform level, turn right and go through the automatic doors onto the platform. We believe you're beside the front half of the train.
The lift is on your left, just before the end of the passage, with the call button to your right of the door. Go up to platform level, leave via the other doors then turn right. Follow the right hand wall, right then right again before continuing, through the automatic doors onto the platform. We believe you're about in the middle of the train.
The foot of the stairs is on your left at the end of the passage, there's tactile flooring before the foot of the stairs. You go up two flights of steps. At this point, there are two fire doors in front of you with tactile flooring before these.
Turn left (180 degrees), go up a flight of steps, turn right (180 degrees) then go up another flight before turning right again (180 degrees) and going up a third flight of steps to platform level.
At platform level, continue, beyond the recess to the lift on your right, past the wall then take the turning right and go through the automatic doors onto the platform. We believe you're about in the middle of the train.
