the D, F and H lines specifically. Some shelter if being rained on, but not a ton. No nearby benches. Depending what time of day you are here you will be milling amidst a swarm of arriving/departing productive workers, leaving with the night shift crew, or possibly trying to evade shady homeless-type folk.
