Waiting shelters are provided on both platforms and service running information is given via CIS displays, timetable poster boards and customer help points on each side. Level access is possible from the car park on the Birmingham-bound platform (1) only - the main entrance on Market Place is below platform level and is only accessible via a staircase, whilst the footbridge between the two platforms also has steps.
