The station currently has 9 platforms, numbered 1 to 8 and "2C". Along with platform 1, platforms 3 and 4 are divided into A and B sections to allow a brief stabling of terminating services before they are scheduled to depart. The station also has four through roads which are used for through running or more commonly for stabling stock. Between platforms 5 and 6 these are known as "1-Up" and "2-Up" (they are on the "Up" or London-bound side of the station) whilst between platforms 1 and 2 can be found the "through road" with a direct path through the station or by a central crossover to the north end of platform 1 (1b) and "down station siding".
