The platforms are arranged in a split platform style as the station was constructed under the narrow Ma Tau Wai Road with a high density of nearby buildings.[4] This allows trains to switch sides, depending on the terminus. Trains on platform 1 switch to the left side, while trains on platform 2 switch to the right side.
