This is the entrance to the bus station side of the interchange:

This statue, to the memory of those who died in various mining disasters, stands in front of the building:

To the right of the entrance we can see the tubelike bridge leading to the rail station half of the complex and then the railway bridge which bridges the tracks:

And the tracks are crossed by a road just south of the front of the interchange entrance:

It'd started to rain by this point so I tried to hide as much as a could under the platform canopies! Looking south along platform 1 under the canopy:
