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:
“Say first, of God above, or Man below,
What can we reason, but from what we know?
Of Man what see we, but his station here,
From which to reason, or to which refer?
Thro’ worlds unnumber’d tho’ the God be known,
‘Tis ours to trace him only in our own.
”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
