    The elevated Pelham Parkway Subway Station in the Bronx's Pelham Parkway neighborhood, opened in…read more1917 and listed in the National Register of Historic Places, is now serviced by serviced by the White Plains Road Line 2 and during rush hour peak direction 5 trains. It is an ADA compliant accessible station. In 2007, the MTA installedl faceted stained glass windows designed by New York artist Tomie Arai called "Back to the Garden," a nod to the Joni MItchell song lyrics about a more simpler life. You'll find among the floral one of the things I enjoyed the most - inset screened black & white historic photos of areas this White Plains Road Line passes through. Period images of The Grand Concourse, Prospect Avenue, the old subway entrance at East 149th Street, trollies along Third Avenue show how much the Bronx has changed. My favorite pic - the 1890 White Plains Road 2-story wooden Hotel W. Thwaite that also sold wines and lager beer! All in all, they add to this great public artwork, making it worth taking a closer look!

    Always some kind of chaos on the train even in the mid to later afternoon. The 4 and 5 mostly cause…read moreriders the most trouble. Sometimes the train makes you just late for your daily commute. Some people are just clueless and stand by the door all the times and some people just are unruly when the train is crowded. MTA needs to fix alot of things and not just worry about putting spikes near the turnstiles. Absolutely a fail by the MTA

    Average Metro North Train Station…read more Been using this location for my Metro North (Harlem Line) use since the late 80's. Not too much has changed other than some cosmetic differences on the platform. The best modification was the digital board they added with the schedule (Grand Central bound side only) - relying on the garbled speakers always sucked. At least the train fare went to something decent.....because it doesn't go to the actual rail service or their schedules. Inside is drab and blah. Sometimes it smells, sometimes it doesn't. I never bothered with the store/eatery inside or any of the overpriced vending machines. They have 2 ticket machines inside, but probably need 2 more since the IQ challenged sometimes tend to take a much longer time to operate the simple machine. There is a booth inside with an agent sometimes, but for anyone in the early morning or evening would be out of luck. There is some slight parking about a block from station, but the area isn't an area I'd want to leave a car at night. At night, sometimes shady characters can be inside or outside the station. During any time here, there are also some strange people.....but that's everywhere. There's one thin stairwell (one stairwell for each side) for exiting passengers and depending on how crowded the train is, it could be a few minutes before you can exit. There is a cab stand across the street and the cab drivers will be on top of most exiting train riders, but I guess it's their job. There's not much room for cars to wait for people they're picking up. There is the 7 bus across the street for the station - but much like the Metro North itself, the bus can be late at times. There are much better stations and much worse stations, but this isn't too bad.

    This station is about 30 minutes from grand central. Its much faster during the week when it runs…read moreexpress. The station itself definitely needs updating but it's fully functional. Walking through the station it looks like a drab dungeon. If your new to the area there are usually a few cabs waiting outside the station if needed.
