Much improved access to the southeast thanks to the new entrance.

Alight here for the fish market to avoid walking through the carpark.

Recently upgraded and now has a lift that was put in by the Harbour Mill development. Because this is the last stop on the uncongested part of the light rail network (the train becomes full from the fish markets into central) it is actually a good choice for those who would otherwise use Convention or Exhibition stops. Only a few hundred meters walk to save a lot of time when heading to the western part of the LR network.
