Station Access
The platforms are below road level, with the brick ticket office (open for most of the day until late evening) on the up side along with a self-service ticket machine. A second self-service ticket machine is located outside the entrance to Platform 2. The station is staffed from the first train of the morning until the last train in the early hours of the following morning.
Two-way stairs through the booking hall entrance enable access to the up platform (Platform 1), as well as a fully accessible side-entrance ramp. Step-free access is available to the down platform (Platform 2) via the car park entrance on Station Road/Hayes Lane, as well as access via the footbridge from Platform 1.
Platform transfers are made available via the station footbridge however no step-free access is available for this without walking around the station.
The booking hall is fairly accessible with only a single step on the main entrance from Kenley Lane.
Staff are available for assistance with boarding and alighting trains at this station.

Famous quotes containing the words station and/or access:
“How soon country people forget. When they fall in love with a city it is forever, and it is like forever. As though there never was a time when they didn’t love it. The minute they arrive at the train station or get off the ferry and glimpse the wide streets and the wasteful lamps lighting them, they know they are born for it. There, in a city, they are not so much new as themselves: their stronger, riskier selves.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
“The nature of women’s oppression is unique: women are oppressed as women, regardless of class or race; some women have access to significant wealth, but that wealth does not signify power; women are to be found everywhere, but own or control no appreciable territory; women live with those who oppress them, sleep with them, have their children—we are tangled, hopelessly it seems, in the gut of the machinery and way of life which is ruinous to us.”
—Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946)
