In: 2 plat, 3 track layout with express bypass. The color scheme is burgundy and dark green, with mosaic tile station name on dark green background with burgundy borders. There is also a burgundy tile stripe along the walls. The white tiling on the walls is quite dirty and falling off in a few places. The mezzanine level is long and wide with a number of exits. Surprisingly, I saw here an South Asian woman in a salwar-kameez waiting for the train.
