86TH STREET (IRT LEXINGTON AVENUE LINE)

(Redirected from 86th Street (IRT Lexington Avenue Line station))

'86th Street' is a station on the IRT Lexington Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. Located at the intersection of Lexington Avenue and 86th Street, it is served by the and trains (all times), and the train (all times except late nights).
The station has four side platforms, two on an upper level, serving local trains, and two on a lower level, serving express trains. Old-style wall and ceiling lights have been removed. A renovation was completed in the fall of 2005. There is no crossover between the uptown and downtown directions; fare control is at the upper platform level. Like many stations that have trains running in the same direction on different levels, there is an information device on the upper level that gives advance notice of an express train on the lower level; however, since the completion of renovations in 2005, this device ceased to operate and was subsequently removed. It is expected that new system-wide information monitors, currently in development, will replace the device no earlier than 2012.
Before recent renovations, the downtown station had two token booths. In 2003, the smaller of the two was removed and replaced with four automated kiosks.
