Facilities
The station has facilities of toilet, newsagent, dry cleaner, taxi office and rank, and a coffee shop.
The station has a PlusBus scheme where train and bus tickets can be bought together for a cheaper price.
Work is complete on extending the platforms to support 12-carriage trains which also required widening a road bridge. Ticket gates have been installed on platforms 1 & 4 (and in the case of platform 1 it required moving the old entrance 38 yards (35 m) south). Work on these started on 21 November 2010 and was completed in May 2011. A second footbridge with lifts is due to be built to the north end of the station and this will be funded by the Department for Transport’s Access For All scheme. The ticket gates are due to be moved to the location of this new footbridge (when it opens).

“Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.”
