| + | ===== Layout ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The station is features 3 floors in the main building and a rooved waterfront exit with access to the ferry docks and Tramlink platforms. All platforms are north-south oriented. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== The waterfront ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The station can only be accessed by the waterfront entrance, which comprises a big open hall with a north-south canopy, similar to the main canopy, in red concrete and glass. The floor is constructed of stone bricks. The ferry docks are located on the eastern edge, directly facing the water. Access is possible through gateways on the north and south sides between the water and the Tramlink tracks. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Main station building ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | West of the entrance is the actual station building. As previously mentioned, the design is inspired by Canary Wharf DLR station. The main bulding only has one access leading from the waterfront exit to the underground concourse. | ||

| + | {{ : | ||
| + | |||
| + | The main overground station structure holds Platforms 1-10. Just like Canary Wharf DLR, the ceiling has a big east-west canopy in the centre and flatter parts that cover the edges of the platforms, flanked by sandstone walls. The platforms are each 204 blocks long, have a polished andesite and granite floor, indented LU platform blocks, route maps, glass fence barriers in front of the lift doors preventing passengers exiting the lift from running onto the tracks, platform stop markers for train drivers, help lines, metal pillars showing the [[mtr: | ||

| + | |||
| + | ==== Clock tower ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The clock tower was built by Jonathan on 5 February 2023. The tower is built of sandstone, red sandstone and birch planks to visually resemble the clock tower in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong, and peaks at 67 m (excluding the lightning rod). Unlike its real-life counterpart, | ||

| + | ==== Services and Platform layout ==== | ||
