| 135 Street is a Lenox Avenue station and where the 2 and 3 meet for their long haul together to Brooklyn. The station has two platforms and three tracks, the middle track used most recently for Late Night 3 shuttle trains until they were replaced with buses in 1998. The station has two side platforms with no crossover/under, which is a bit of a problem because passengers wishing to transfer between trains from the Bronx and the 3 to 148 Street must go all the way down to 110 Street the first station with a free directional transfer. The station has one entrance in each direction (with two staircases to the street each) and was recently renovated with an elevator added. An interesting aspect of the station is that there are 3 different types of repersentations in the stations trim and molding, (original terra cotta cartouches, a mosaic representation of this and modern 135 lettering), and two different types of name tablets (original mosaics and one with a modern font and design that only exist here and it the sister stations along Lenox Avenue at 125th, and 116 Streets). | ||||||||||
