These are side platforms built along Des Voeux Road from Cleverly Street to Rumsey Street. Although platforms 1 and 2 are parallel to each other and are on opposite sides, there is a wall separating the two tracks giving a false impression that both platforms are separated by a long distance from each other. Both platforms are slightly longer than those on other MTR underground stations. It has been suggested that this was the result of problems in calculations during the station's construction. The former Rumsey Station of the East Kowloon Line's platforms are still located at the station (see below).

Famous quotes containing the word station:
“I introduced her to Elena, and in that life-quickening atmosphere of a big railway station where everything is something trembling on the brink of something else, thus to be clutched and cherished, the exchange of a few words was enough to enable two totally dissimilar women to start calling each other by their pet names the very next time they met.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
