If you're coming from the Airport and looking to transfer to the Shrewsbury line, this is your transfer spot. The station features an island platform with the tracks on the outside. The doors to the train will open on the left. There are ticket kiosks here so that you can purchase before boarding. As it is below grade, you'll be out of the wind and there is cover over most of the platform. Watch your step. It is between Central West End (towards the city) and Delmar Loop (on the Red Line) or Skinker (on the Blue Line). [Review 1740 of 2024 - 376 in Missouri - 22763 overall]

Buying tickets is a little confusing the first time, and then after buying the tickets no one actually checked them and they weren't needed in either direction but I do like to support public transportation and it's much cheaper than Uber.

One of the few stations where both the Blue and Red lines share tracks, Central West End offers a…read moresmooth transfer point for riders navigating St. Louis's MetroLink system. Located in the heart of the city's medical corridor, it serves as a practical gateway to Barnes-Jewish Hospital, Washington University Medical Center, and the lively Central West End neighborhood. Central West End is between Cortex (heading east into downtown) and Forest Park / DeBaliviere heading west. The station's layout is straightforward and functional, with clear signage and covered platforms that help riders stay oriented even during busy hours. It is an island platform with the tracks on each side. Elevators and ramps provide step-free access, although some of the older infrastructure could use a refresh. Thanks to its proximity to major institutions, the station is generally safe and well-patrolled, with a steady flow of commuters, students, and hospital staff contributing to its active atmosphere. What makes Central West End stand out is how well it connects to the surrounding area. Just beyond the platform, you'll find tree-lined streets, cafés, and historic buildings that invite exploration. Whether you're heading to a medical appointment or grabbing lunch nearby, the station is a reliable and well-placed hub. It may not be flashy, but it gets the job done. In a city where transit options are limited, that reliability matters. [Review 1166 of 2025 - 432 in Missouri - 24719 overall]

I didn't want to deal with finding parking for a 10 foot tall van in downtown so I opted to take the train into the city. This was super easy. Big parking lot with plenty of room (I guess downtown still hasn't recovered from COVID and remote work), I found a spot where there was plenty of eyes so I could worry a little less. I bought round trip tickets from the vending machine which popped out both. I validated one and saved the other for later. On the platform, the train was waiting and a few minutes after I boarded, it started the journey. Plenty of seating on board at 7:45 am though there was one annoying dude playing rap music without headphones. No one else said anything, so I just let it be.

While the bridge remains a marvel, its shadowy understructure makes the station feel a bit dim and enclosed compared to more open-air stops. The station itself is above ground but tucked under the bridge's arches, which gives it a unique but somewhat claustrophobic atmosphere. Metrolink has done a decent job retrofitting the space with stairs and an elevator, making it functional if not especially inviting. It's clear this wasn't originally designed for modern transit, but the adaptation is serviceable. Westbound trains head to Convention Center, while eastbound service crosses the Mississippi River into Illinois, stopping next at East Riverfront. I only passed through briefly and didn't linger. There's not much here in terms of amenities or comfort. It works fine as a transit point, but I wouldn't plan to spend time here unless you're transferring quickly or heading to the Arch.

Officer (should've gotten her name) was mid-30s I'd say and had an ATTITUDE, not compassionate, and was incredibly rude. Young woman I was filming was wearing a light blue crop top with black leggings. All skin-tight. Didn't matter to the officer, who said and I quote "I'll need to pat you down from head to toe to make sure you're not concealing anything." After squeezing the woman's bun, she checks the back of her top, stopping where the clasp of her bra band. "Ma'am, what is this!!?? (rudely)." "It's my bra clasp." "Hmmm, I'm going to need to conduct some extra screening on it." After using her hands to do everything except lift her shirt up and touch it herself, she finally "cleared the area." Then, the officer told the woman that she would be tugging on the waistband. She didn't tug. She fully used her gloved hands to first rub around the whole waistband, then her fingers to GRAB parts of the waistband and pull them away from the body. When the girl jerked away at the movement, the officer almost yelled "Stop! You can't move during screening!!" She then proceeded to check the inside of her waistband by sticking almost her whole hand inside and rubbing the inside. At least she used the back of her hand for the buttocks and groin like she's supposed to. But the " upper thigh area", sheesh! Thank god that officer was wearing gloves! She stuck her hands so far up the poor young women's tights and stayed there "to ensure detection." Yikes. After rubbing her hands over every inch of her legs (what did she think she was going to find, the girl's wearing leggings, OMG), she moved to the front. She firmly placed her hand between the breasts and moved her hand up and down multiple times to the point where the crop top got pushed down. Then she slid her hand (both sides) underneath the bra. Then stopped. "What am I feeling here? Anything in your bra?" "No, nothing." Of course extra screening. No joking, that officer must have spent 5-8 minutes straight using her hands to feel for anything under the bra band. I'm surprised she didn't make her shake it out. Good God. Waistband was the same check described before. Same with the thighs and legs. YIKES.
