Description
|
Apparently
the original design for this stop on the
Docklands Light Railway called
for two platforms on either side of
the track, but it became
apparent that this would not be sufficent
for the level of passenger
traffic. The design was changed to
create the station you see
today which has 6 platforms arranged in
pairs on either side of each
track allowing fast entry and exit for
passengers. The train shed
spans across the six platforms. The
platforms are at first floor
level, and can be reached via
lifts/escaltors from ground level, or by
level access from the first floor of Cabot
Place's shopping centre.
