Re: Nostrand Avenue A & C Subway Station Tour

Posted by gbs on Sat Jan 7 01:03:47 2023, in response to Nostrand Avenue A & C Subway Station Tour, posted by Transportation Hub on Fri Jan 6 20:20:49 2023.


Unlike the Bedford-Nostrand (G) station, which is located precisely between Bedford Av & Nostrand Av on Lafayette Av, the Nostrand (A/C) station on Fulton St extends east of Nostrand Av, though there's no exit there, most likely because the previous station, Franklin Av (C), is so close to Bedford Av. Because the station extends east of Nostrand, the passageway from the west end of the Nostrand station to the Bedford exit extremely long.

In fact, along Fulton St, Franklin Av is so much closer to Bedford Av than Nostrand Av is to Bedford Av, that riders seeking Bedford Av are better off exiting at the Franklin Av station than the Nostrand Av station, and they probably do when the express is not running.

When they re-opened that passageway to Bedford Av, they chose not to re-open the stairs up to Arlington Place. When you walk in the passageway you can see where those stairs are, hidden behind newly-tiled walls. Since the entire passageway is outside fare control, I don't understand why they didn't reopen those stairs too.
