Looking down the steps from the booking hall in 2001, the subway (now bricked up) to the bridge over the suburban lines is straight ahead. At the bottom of the steps to the right another stairway leads up to the street and more stairs to the left leads to the subway from the down Suburban platform. Straight ahead the subway to the footbridge over the Suburban lines has been bricked up.

The footbridge over the Suburban lines is behind the photographer. Steps to the booking office, also seen in the photo above are straight ahead. Before the steps another stairway on the left leads up to the street and stairs to the right lead to the subway from the Down Suburban platform.
