Exeter Central — Local services in Exeter

I have trouble with my vision and I often ask for help just double checking what platform my trains leave from due to my blurred vision making it hard to read timetables and screens that are far away. I had just finished work and my regular train that leaves from platform 3 to exmouth was closed with a big sign I couldn’t decipher but I could see that something was visibly blocking my path.

Two good cafes immediately outside the main entrance, one of them Turkish. There are also exits at the "wrong" ends of the platforms which give good access to the north of the city centre,...
