The track layout on Line 3 through this station is very complex. Line 3 branches immediately north of the station, with a branch to Airport North (referred to as Line 3 North), along with the mainline to Tianhe Coach Terminal. There is also a middle turnback with a platform on both sides.
Trains coming from the south enter platform 4 and can continue to either Airport North or Tianhe Coach Terminal. Trains from both Tianhe Coach Terminal and Airport North enter on platform 3 and continue south. As there is insufficient capacity with the two branches combining, some trains from Airport North terminate using the middle track and return to Airport North. There are platforms on both sides of the middle track to allow easy cross-platform interchange for passengers transferring to/from these trains.[5]
