- Several places, including the Red Dot Design Museum, IMBA Theatre and Big Fish Aquarium, are over 1,000 metres away, so allow more time on foot or consider onward transport options.
- The Thomson East Coast Line runs through this station, connecting it to the city centre, so peak-hour trains may be busier and a small buffer in your schedule is advisable.
