Times Square/42nd Street Station · Opened 4/14/1918An express station with two island platforms. This station is part of the busiest station complex in the system, which has been undergoing a massive renovation effort. Formerly, stairways and a ramp at the north end led to a mezzanine allowing transfer to a great number of lines. The renovation efforts have removed the ramps (which, while convenient, were too steep to be ADA-compliant) and replaced them with new elevators to the mezzanine. The platform has unusually high ceilings and old name signs on the supporting I-beams along the platform edges. A "42" monogram mosaic exists along the trackside walls.
Some relative depths of stations in the Times Square complex are as follows, +/- 10 feet.
- 7th Ave./West Side IRT, 40 feet below street
- Flushing/#7 IRT, 60 feet below street
- Broadway BMT, 50 feet below street
- Shuttle, 20 feet below street
- 8th Ave. IND, 30 feet below street
The express tracks north of the station weave out to pass around a
crossunder in the Times Square shuttle station. This crossunder was
sealed off in the 1960s due to crime potential.
