7:30/ Loved that you acknowledged the most commissioned artworks of any station! Just one bug-a-boo.... the mezzanine connecting the N/R Lines to the Times Square Shuttle has the coolest artwork in the whole system. All you had to do was turn the camera up and you'll see a full length Roy Lichtenstein pop art mural! It sits just below the glass tiled sidewalk above you.

Awesome video as always..but I wonder why you haven't included grand central terminal?
@RUSS-wk4ll Жыл бұрын
That's what destroys me. How in one subway can there be a royal station and the next station a garbage dump that looks like after the apocalypse? This exactly characterizes the contrast of the social state of the country. There are areas like Beverly Hills and a garbage dump nearby that even the police are afraid to enter. Rich people and people in power are so greedy that they only think about how to make more money, instead of thinking about how to take care of the people at whose expense they make this money. A typical situation for a capitalist system that leads to the self-destruction of human society. Reply

The Coney Island Terminal (D/F/N/Q) is one of my favorite stations. I believe it is the largest elevated terminal in the country (or world, someone fact check me lol). That amazing roof canopy structure, views of Luna Park and the other rides. Can't forget the shops inside, and the color pallette of the bricks and tiles are nice.

Careful some of those doors that say keep out and stuff actually contain homeless camps and some people who seriously want to remain hidden. I think the old knickerbocker door was welded shut sometime ago. I know that a few doors lead to old clubs and things that are forgotten about. One lead to old ballroom from the early 20s while the building was demolished the ballroom was forgotten about underground.

The urge to cover a walkway with a huge advertising wraparound is too much to resist on the Underground! The relatively new Elizabeth Line has less advertising in your face but it is probably too minimalist, could do with some colour like this. At least I know where the diagonal lifts came from! I must check these stations out when I next go to NYC!

The Chuck Close Mosaics at the 86th St Q station is a must see. They will blow you away, and the station is very modern. What about Grand Central or Penn Station stop? The Hudson Yards escalator is the steepest by far. One thing that may be incorrect is that when you leave the sign says to the left is the High Line, but actually to the right is the high line. It is past the vessel. That Q 72 St stop escalator is very steep. I felt like I was leaning forward about to fall, but when I got closer to the end the angle changed 🤣
