DESCRIBE ONLINE |
In each direction, the doors will open on your left as you face the front of the train.
Go towards the rear of the train, keeping to the right-hand side of the platform until you locate the gate in the fence, beyond the shelter. If you find the tactile paving before the foot of the steps to the bridge, you've overshot.
Go through the gate, move to the left-hand fence and follow the pavement round to your left into Mill Road. Note that this exit is in the northeast corner of the car park.
Go towards the front of the train, past the shelter and locate the foot of the steps, in front of you. Note that, beyond the shelter, is a step up to your left which you can follow to the foot of the steps to the bridge. It is possible to miss these steps if you're too far to your right.
Go up two flights of steps onto the bridge, continue up another step, going east, before you reach the railings. Turn right here, find the gap and go down two steps, going east, onto Mill Road.

Go towards the front of the train, following the left-hand side of the platform. If you find the shelter or the steps to the bridge, you've overshot. Locate the gap in the railings to your left and follow the path, which turns right, up the slope, onto Mill Road.
Go beyond the front of the train, following the left-hand side of the platform. There's a drainage channel running along most of this platform which could be useful. When you find the downward slope, be sure that you're between the two fences, otherwise you're going off the end of the platform. Follow the path, down the slope. After a while, the path veers left then up a slope to street level. You come out onto the north end of Hamilton Street, which ends here.
Note that you could follow the end of the fence round to your right towards the west bridge.
Go beyond the rear of the train, following the right-hand side of the platform. Take the turning right, just before the end of the platform. The path turns almost immediately left, down the slope. At the bottom of the slope, you'll turn left, then almost immediately right again. Follow the path and take the turning right which leads you onto the south side of Bell Street.
Note that, at the point where you turn right towards Bell Street, you could move to your left and locate the steps to the west bridge, in front of you.
