Entrances

The main entrance to the station is located near the northeast end of the platform. It is directly attached to the inbound platform. Passengers using the outbound platform must use an overhead walkway to cross the tracks. There is no escalator available for the walkway.
Prior to the installation of fare gates, a secondary entrance was located southeast of the main entrance, which also gave access to the inbound platform. It was built by opening up an emergency exit after the station was in operation. Access to the outbound platform had to use the same walkway as the main entrance.
