I’m guessing you were on the train?

Posts reference the Old City Hall subway station: "midnight swearing in down in the old City Hall subway station" (event), use as a set piece for a comic story, and general praise for train station architecture; mentions the station as a historic site with active 6 train track, MTA tours, and special events.

The only train we currently have in Austin is a repurposed freight line. So it doesn’t go anywhere useful for people These days it’s nice to get to/from Austin FC games and that’s basically it

Trains are cool but so is train station architecture

But magical trains to Hogwarts, the North Pole, and MamdaniLand?

This only being 3 times a year is a shame. Make the location open regularly and be a part of normal city life. www.nytransitmuseum.org/old-city-hall/

Let's be absolutely clear: the station did need work doing to it in the 1960s. You couldn't run the level of service through New Street that we have now with the layout at track level. That improved significantly. Above platform level? Well BR did what it could: sell the air rights.

The Brighton and Rottingdean coast tram. More radical but less practical than the Belgian one.

what's the post-length answer for why the NYC city hall station stopped being a stop

Gonna start a campaign to reopen the Atlantic avenue tunnel for tours. I went to one of the last tours before it got shut down.

Is HS1 as underused as the M6 Toll? I thought quire a few people had moved to places like Ashford as a result of it being built.

How much tuning did Hornby technicians do for those trains to run reliably?

As if trains can do crimes anyway. Great Train Robbery was ON a train, not BY a train, idiots!

41 Funny And Strange Things Spotted On the Subway Ah, the subway! The magical place where the laws of normality stop working. The moment you go underground to catch a train, you’d best be prepared to see hilarious, weird and, frankly, mind-blowing things. Interest | Match | Feed

I know the feeling. The Westminster side of Hungerford bridge (I think that’s the one that goes to Charing Cross?), is much the same. The last time I used it I nearly got brained by three sets of selfie sticks. Only enormous restraint saw the third one not end up in the river…

Escalators delivered by rail! Our volunteers worked tirelessly to make this happen (3500 signatures on our petition!). Let’s now rescue our foot tunnels! Please sign the petition in link 👉https://www.escalate-now.com/

Back when they still did the A and B trains!

My main experience of Westminster bridge is using it after night shifts when I worked at GMTV. It’s quite civilised during commuting hours (or was). Is it the Hungerford bridge you don’t like? (I can never remember which way is upstream and which down).
My first published comic story used this subway station as a set piece!

the train going into the tunnel in the end of north by north west is... hilarious.

One of my first dates with my girlfriend included staying on the 6 as it turned around at the south end of the line so we could get a glimpse of this station. It’s a symbol of neglected beauty beneath our feet. It’s central to @nkjemisin.bsky.social’s Great Cities duology. This is SO cool.

Update: Now they have ads on trains too https://x.com/4jhapp_lw/status/2005564732082892946?s=20

The pedestrian tunnel under the tracks is definitely functional, although smells quite strongly of urine…

If we can't even do this then the fabled Leeds Supertram never had a chance really, but then we pretty much knew that as soon as it was announced. Again.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social doing the midnight swearing in down in the old City Hall subway station is too cool! (FYI, the station is not actually abandoned - the 6 train still uses that stretch of track and it is a very well maintained historic site for MTA tours and special events)
12/29/25, 03:12 PM
Indeed. I was very surprised how quiet it was. Ideal place to wait for the Eurostar.

Nickle Plate Trail 96th St bridge (almost done!)

Fun question on a semi-holiday Monday is what is the functional or emotional equivalent of this station in other cities? (Now I'll go out and perform municipal shoveling for my block) nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/12/29/e...

Run a train. Let’s go

[Flaubert] didn’t just hate the railway as such; he hated the way it flattered people with the illusion of progress. What was the point of scientific advance without moral advance? The railway would merely permit more people to move about, meet and be stupid together.

First time using Cambridge North station, due to engineering works completely closing Cambridge itself. Didn’t realise there isn't a shop or any kind of cafe etc. There’s a fast food van outside but due to where the rail replacement bus dropped us off I only saw it once I was past barriers…
