Situated between the two concourse canopies, the platform canopy incorporates the following:

- Fall arrest system for maintenance of the roof and associated gutters
- Bespoke pressed aluminium soffit and fascia, incorporating all CCTV, lighting and public address and comms equipment
- Lift shaft clad with rainscreen cladding
- 28m x 4m glazed rooflight providing natural light to the platform below
The platform canopy has been designed such that the upper element can be completely detached and removed at a later date, should future additional development work be required.
