PLATFORM 2, WESTBOUND MAINLINE

DESCRIBE ONLINE

Overview

The escalators to the westbound mainline leave from the west end of the booking hall into a waiting area, covered by a plastic roof. You turn right (east) at the top of the escalator and go through pull doors onto the platform. We understand you're about in the middle of three-car (towards the front of six-car) trains. There's tactile paving along the edge of the platform.

Note that, as a result of the building work at this station, much of the platform furniture is behind hoardings which extend to either side of the entrance/exit.
