Rendered brick and reinforced concrete, all painted, with flat reinforced concrete and asphalt roofs. Art Deco style; symmetrical plan. Central clock tower projects from adjoining single-storey utility building flanked by staircases and landings.

Passenger shelters are open-fronted with 4 circular shafts and responds and at their ends they have slightly projecting convex-plan pavilions. Deep eaves cornice and shallow parapet.
