Station Review #56: 34th Street (SEPTA)

Image
34th Street is a station on SEPTA's Market-Frankford Line located at 34th Street and Market Street in the University City neighborhood of Philadelphia, PA.  Tour The station from outside 34th Street is one of the stations on the underground portion of the L, which are all known for having very old parts. You can see its roots in the Paris solution entrance, which all used the same general types of weird metal fencing also used in places like NYC. This is the entrance near the 34th Street Wawa.  Stairs The stairs lead to the station itself, nothing special here. There are no other ways in besides these stairs. 34th Street is one of three stations on the line that are still inaccessible, the other two being 11th and Spring Garden.  I go in and am immediately greeted by this sight: Already, this feels incredibly dated.  Old signboard This is an old signboard that was just left there for decades, most likely.  Bus
