P Platform	Platform 1	Island Line towards Chai Wan
	Island platform, doors will open on the right
	Platform 2	Island Line towards Sheung Wan

Platforms 1 and 2 share the same island platform, and it is also curve, so the gap is large.

There are only 4 escalators connecting the concourse and the platforms, they are the longest in the entire MTR system. Besides, there is also a stairway that very few people use it, because it is in a separated corridor. There was even a teenager doing sexual intercourse with a girl under 13, and was caught.
