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.^[5] This arrangement also 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. This is necessary since the Ma On Shan Rail was built with trains run on the right-hand side to facilitate interchange at, whereas on the West Rail trains run on the left like other railway lines in the territory.
