As shown also in Image train drivers have to switch at this station from drawing power from a third rail to drawing power via a pantograph from overhead power lines. This photo shows the "Pan up" sign (hidden text above reads "378 units"). The pantograph is visible on top of the train. See Image for a photo of a similar 378 unit with pantograph down at Richmond Station, where it shares 3rd rail operation with London Underground.
