The station platforms are very clean and well maintained and organized as well as super awesome
This station is so deep, it only has elevator access! Doors open on the left and elevators are at the middle of the train .
Unlike the Wheaton Metro stop, which has the longest escalators in the Western Hemisphere, this station does not have escalator service because it is 196 feet below the surface . Elevators only.
