West 8th Street Station · Opened 6/13/1919

Two-level elevated station with two tracks and two side platforms on each level. The Culver line uses the lower level, and the BMT Brighton Line uses the upper level. The north exit leads to West 6th St. and the south exit leads to West 8th St. The north exit has a high wheel and part time token booth plus MetroCard Iron Maiden, while the south exit has the full time token booth. The main exit also has a ramp across Surf Avenue to the New York Aquarium. This ramp also had a branch to the upper-level Manhattan-bound platform which is fenced off at the ramp side and plywood on the station platform windscreen. Crossunders are at both ends. There is an escalator to the upper level Manhattan-bound platform. Evidence of two removed center exits on both platforms was still present at the time of this writing (1999) but in 2003-2004 the station underwent a total renovation.
