125th Street is a simple Lenox Avenue line station. The station has two side platforms and was recently renovated (1996). Fare control is along the side platforms in the middle and each area has the customary 2 staircases up to either side of 125 Street. The station still has orginal looking name tablets and terra cotta cartouches in the trim. Along the trim for the rest of the station are mosaic representations of the cartouches. In the platform extension portion of the station the name tablets are in a modern mosaic design.
