When the station, which opened in 1927, was built, it was cut-and-cover construction, with vertical walls and rectangular beams and pillars. Decades later ('50s? '60s?), when the platform and tracks were extended west to accommodate longer trains, the construction was deep bore, with curved walls and ceilings and no rectangular structures. This is still visible today. Vertical walls: ![]() Curved walls: ![]() The transition: ![]() |
