New line: Escalators to mezzanine wooden level, leading to ticket offices, car park and upper exit. The mezzanine floor is made like a deck of a ship, reminding the proximity of the mediterranean sea. The rectangular concrete pylon intercepts the weight of another high pylon outside above of it.

 

No freight trains are allowed inside the 2.8km tunnel at the same time with passenger trains. Both ends of the station can be shielded by curtains of water in case of toxic gas or fire accidents. The whole tunnel system, not only the station itself, is equipped with powerful sprinkler extinguishers. An additional emergency tunnel enables road vehicle access to the station.
