PLATFORM 2, WESTBOUND MAINLINE |
DESCRIBE ONLINE |
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.
Use the left-hand escalator. As you reach the top, you're in a square waiting area with:
|
down escalator up escalator |
|
bench pillar with departure screen at end of bench |
|
wall with windows double pull door to platform space double pull door to platform |
|
paper rack low wall wall retreats to top of down escalator |
In the middle of the waiting area is a square area with a raised floor. There’s a pillar at each corner and a bench between each pair of pillars.
You go (east) through the doors, then up a slight slope onto the open platform.
All features are on the right-hand (west) side unless stated otherwise.
