Before the station was renovated and retiled a few years ago, you could see the gaps in the interior walls between the super-express tracks and the tunnel tracks, which is where the switches used to be. Notice the gap in the wall to the right of the train on the tunnel track:  When the station was originally extended north in the '50s, the tile was the bland '50s design:  These are the original compound pillars at the original section of the station:  Note the massive one-piece pillars at the new north end:  Looking north, note how the original pillars taper to a point at the original platform end, where a switch would have been.  When you're on the platform towards the north end, note the pattern of the pillars. The gaps in the walls have been completely tiled over, as have the '50s tiles. |
