This offers a quicker way to cross from platform 6 to 5 and so to platforms 1 and 2 without going through the lower concourse. Signs indicate an emergency exit from the top of the stairs to platform 5.

There are two passages leadeing south near the west end of platform 6. Follow either of these and turn right (west). Ascend 6 steps, going west, then turn right (north), ascend 19 steps going north onto the bridge. Continue north, the floor slopes up slightly before you reach the wall. Turn right (180 degrees) and descend either of two sets of stairs, each has two flights of 11 then 13 steps, going south with a short gap between these flights, to platform 5 about 3 metres from the west end of the platform.

Note that you can turn right (east) from the top of the stairs from platform 5 and go up 7 steps towards an emergency exit (normally closed) at street level.
