First time users are often confused how to get between platforms when the ticket office is shut. There is a sign-posted but often overlooked underpass approximately 4 metres down from the ticket office (just out of camera shot in the picture opposite)over to Platform 2. On Sundays the ticket office is shut, so access to Platform 1 is via a gate set into the fence approximately 5 metres down from the subway.

This gate is kept locked when the ticket office is open. There is a ticket issuing machine outside the booking office (Turned on 24/7). There is also a Permit to travel machine on platform 2 (turned off when the ticket office is open).
