There are two island platforms for platforms 1 and 2, and platforms 3 and 4 respectively.

Trains normally stop at platforms 2 and 3. Platforms 1 and 4 are used in the following occasions:

  • for special departures during peak hours (platform 4 for southbound) and race days (platform 1 for northbound),
  • to serve as buffers when the train frequency is high during peak hours, or
  • to serve as buffers so that non-stop through trains can overtake local trains.

Famous quotes containing the word station:

    ...I believe it is now the duty of the slaves of the South to rebuke their masters for their robbery, oppression and crime.... No station or character can destroy individual responsibility, in the matter of reproving sin.
    Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
