Simple, small train station…read more The Little Neck LIRR is served by the Penn Station and Port Washington lines. It's also one of the only LIRR stations in NYC with a crossing, so don't be running rate if you're catching a train on the other side of the platform. Purchase your ticket ahead of time. There's no indoor waiting area and there's only one shelter, but the platforms rarely get crowded, so it only really matters if it's super cold outside. There's also a decent-sized parking lot with a cab service (wouldn't recommend the latter unless you're in a hurry or the Q36 isn't running). Speaking of that 36, it used to wait for the Queens-bound trains to arrive during the evening rush. Don't know if it still does. The surrounding area is safe, so there's no need to have anxiety taking a train here at night. There's really nothing around the station except a little deli where you can grab a quick sandwich or drink before you depart.

Cell/ data reception can be spotty at this station depending on which carrier and where you are…read morestanding on the platform. To get to the Westbound side there are two options the overhead walkway (entrance located mid platform) or across the tracks at the entrance of the parking lot area. If you're running late it is highly likely you will miss your train unless you're already on the platform and can run up the stairs and down quickly. Be sure to leave enough time to buy tickets if you do not have any as the machines are located by the entrance of the parking lot which is on the East bound side.. there is one machine also located across on the west bound side. Parking lot has a fee for the weekdays but weekends it is free.

Nothing special about the station itself. This station is about 30 to 45 minutes from Penn Station but usually requires a transfer. However, for Atlantic Station in Brooklyn the trip is usually direct. Because there is no ticketing booth you have to purchase your ticket from a machine on the ground level. At times there are lines at the ticketing machine so if you have to buy tickets give yourself enough time. The trains arrive on schedule for the most part and during the cold season there is a indoor waiting room for customers.

It takes you to 'Greek Town' where a coalesced area of Greeks reside and straphangers can find bars with live music, restaurants, cafes, bakeries and coffee shops. This elevated station has two side platforms and three tracks. This subway station has been updated modernized and contains simple architecture keeping with function and operational rather than beauty and ornate. My style is traditional, but I do believe individuals and society must adapt with changing times for updated modernization - at least keep it classic and simple which this subway station maintain. The entrance/exit kiosk is modern, but a classic and very simple appeal glass-and-steel canopies with no lavish modern awnings. The artwork for the station, titled "Perasma I and II; Dappleganger," by Stephen Westfall installed in 2018 consists of 47 laminated glass mural panels in the mezzanine, each with geometric designs. It allows color and natural sunlight to be emitted.

And you will be waiting, it's the LIRR. Bathrooms are in mediocre shape. The real problem is that the place is only open in peak hours. Otherwise, it's out into the elements with you, and no shelter to be found. Also my train was cancelled. Come ON.

The station really could be so much more. The station never seems to be open when I am waiting for a train, I've never actually seen the inside. The trains generally run on time and when they aren't on time, you'll hear someone announce the delay on the loud speaker. Parking is limited, but again, it's a small station so not too many people come here. I like coming to this station because it is nearby and allows me to snag a spot before the rush of people in Huntington.

Train stations little to rave about in general so for me I'm just looking for basic needs to be…read moreprovided: shelter, availability to ticket machines and proper/ safe access to platforms. This station does at the most basic level. The entrance to the station has 2 machines which seems to manage the traffic well. For the most part they are always working and accepting both cash and cards. The station is well lit and the staircases have been upgraded lately. However, there are no elevators/escalators so if you're travelling with a stroller or luggage the stairs can be brutal. Shelter is a basic cover which has about 6 seats and then two outdoors sets of about 4 seats. Again, very no frills.

This is a older station so expect no elevators and about 15 steps to climb I think the Rosedale station and I know Jamaica has elevators. Make sure you buy your tickets prior to boarding or you get hit with a surcharge that could double your ticket price. Then the ride on average 22 minutes vs 1.15 and bus train combo Cost is on average 4 times more than regular transit during rush hour west or east off peak about 2.5 times more. This line is on the RockAway branch weekdays and Long Beach weekends. Also effective November 2012 I know this station is undergoing a overhaul so some exits may be closed

Continuously undergoing renovations with upgrading the station with elevators for the physically challenged the stairhall is narrow and utterly crowded creating pedestrian congestion. There is no waiting area upon swiping your MetroCard for entrance. Like all Queens stations on the A train (including the Rockaways), this station is elevated. Nota Bene: Upon discharge from the stairhall and onto street level, straphangers beware of sketchy livery cab drivers vigorously soliciting by loitering at the foot of the station staircase as many willfully block the method of egress and street screaming "cab?!"
