The station is very small, well, medium sized. There are more than 2 platforms and it appears to be on the mainline between the south and the North, Kings cross and Edinburgh. The station has barriers and normally you won't go through without a ticket. On occasion the barriers are open. On weekends, I guess.
There are actually a few entrances to the station. Plenty of car parking and bicycle parking available. Toilets are small, but clean and cubicles are of a good size.
In the middle, between the platforms, there appears to be another waiting room, besides the heated one where Costa is located and I endured an hour of wait.
In general the station seems well looked after!
You will hear plenty of timely announcements and everywhere screens that show the train times. read more
