Airport Express paired platforms
At Airport station, an Airport Express service may show two numbered platform circles, such as 1 and 3 or 2 and 4. The two circles identify platform numbers for the same train. Follow station signs and announcements for the terminal entrance you need.

Light Rail car symbols
The small tram drawings show the reported train formation:
