[edit] Station Description
The station platform itself is an Island platform and is accessible only via stairs from a pedestrian subway (and therefore lacks disabled access). The subway connects both sides of Berala, with the main commercial area, lying to the north west of the station. The ticket office is manned from approximately 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. weekdays, and on a shorter stint on weekends. A waiting room is open during the morning peak.
