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:
“To act the part of a true friend requires more conscientious feeling than to fill with credit and complacency any other station or capacity in social life.”
—Sarah Ellis (1812–1872)
