The station is a bit gloomy , grimy and worn down and if you have knee issues the steps can be hard on the knees but overall its well lit and safe as 4 mta cops were on the platform and thats very good cause area is not the greatest especially at night. Good bright schedule boards on both side of the platforms and self service ticket machines at each ends of the station. The trip took less the 35 minutes to grsnd central terminal and ticket price is 8.50. Overall a quick convient trip into Manhattan from the bronx

The Metro North trains hit every stop in the Bronx at night. On the weekends the tickets are discounted for rides in the Bronx and Harlem.

But buy your ticket using the machine. If you buy your ticket onboard it is a lot more and cash only.

During rush hour, during school hours. Pretty much anytime unless around 2am, the passenger traffic is s little lighter around that time. The service is pretty good. For the amount of people that ride in on a daily basis, on an hourly basis, it's pretty clean. But it's so not worth being squashed like a sardine can. Actually, I'm pretty sure sardines have more room in their cans than 6 train riders. The second avenue line can not come soon enough!

Waiting time for train intervals are approximately ten minute difference because the 1 train is local. Dingy and dirty plus elevators constantly out of order. As a life long New Yorker who travels by subway, bus and railroad this station is horrible. Rubbish strewn overflowing the very minimal receptacles and MTA employees do not remove or dispose garbage. This station gives access to Northern Manhattan's Washington Heights as I sometimes visit friends. This station is on the western edge of Manhattan in the vicinity of George Washington Bridge. The original mosaic wall tiles are charming to admire and well restored.

This has to be the worst train station in Manhattan. Besides the fact that the 1 line is already a…read moremess, elevators here are always out of order and unfortunately its the only way to get down to the trains. The Metrocard machines rarely work - today they're only accepting coins, go figure. The staff is super rude even when you're just asking simple questions, with the exception of one really nice man who works the elevators sometimes. During the summer months the whole station feels like a hell hole, you won't make it through the elevators without sweating. If you don't mind the 3-4 block walk, the A station in 181st and Fort Washington is much better.

I had no problems when I took the train down to 96th Street. I would definitely use this station again if the need arises. The elevated platform reminds me of the historic train lines I've seen in photos. I hope these two photos are posted correctly. They are two of my favorites. Enjoy

125th Street has an elevated old MTA station. It looks old and pretty cool. Probably the worst…read morething is that trains are local. A long wait is probably going to happen. The good thing is you get a nice view. A lot of elevated stations aren't that interesting, but this has a good view in a cool area. It serves only the 1 Train. There's another station a few blocks away where you can make a transfer. Broadway is the other street here. It makes an important intersection in Harlem at 125th Street. There's a lot of history around this. Close to here is Grant's Tomb, if you're into Civil War and political stuff. If you're into African American culture, then this is the place for you. It's close to Columbia University, a very nerdy smart college that can still be cool. There's a lot of good bars and restaurants. It's also close to CCNY. That's the school that was known for their great basketball team until a scandal. Best of all is looking out from the station and seeing everything. There's a great view of the Hudson River. It can get pretty cold. It's way up there with no roof. This can make for great views.

It is served by the 1 and A trains all the time and the C train at all times except late nights. Transfer between the lines is inside the fare control, i.e., you do not need to leave and re-enter to pay another far. There are elevators available for the transfer. The station is reasonably clean and well lit. It's rather loud when the express trains pass through on the center tracks but there isn't much to be done about that except plug your ears. The station opened in 1948. [Review 15644 overall - 241 in New York - 1148 of 2021.]

The time of day I travel it's quiet and clean. I'm writing this review because of my love of this stations tile. The pastels in this subway are some of my favorite.

We had to run to the track, where we accidentally boarded the wrong train. This was also my fault. Upon our return to the city, there was a large phalanx of extremely fit police officers with their pants tucked into combat boots milling near the entrance. We decided that this was also not a good time to loiter and marvel at the architecture, so we departed expeditiously. The only cabs available outside the station are green ones, which my mother refused to take. They generally operate in the Bronx. But when I finally got a cab through the Curb app, it was...green. Lol. Very nice, clean station, and a very nice employee directed us to the correct track.
