THE NORTHERN LINE PLATFORMS 1-2 |
Describe Online |
This section includes the lower level, which is the area at the foot of the escalators from the intermediate level plus the passages and bridge to the Northern Line platforms 1 - 2, plus details of the platforms themselves.
There are two separate platforms running approximately north/south with platform 1, northbound lying west of platform 2, southbound. There is tactile paving along the edge of these platforms.
You can either go down the escalator from the intermediate level, the right-hand escalator is normally the one you need, or use the central stairs.
If you use the stairs, go down three, 17, 17 and three steps, going east to the foot of the escalators. Beyond the foot of the escalators, the passage divides into two, with the right-hand (south) side being the entrance, whilst the left leads from the exit. A wall with billboards faces the stairs.
