CHRISTOPHER STREET

Christopher Street has two tracks and an island platform. Due to heavy usage following the 9/11 disaster, trains skip this station to NJ in the morning rush and to New York in the PM Rush The Port Authority has plans to add a second exit but locals are concerned about esthetics The current entrance backs up to the street and customers going the "Wrong way" have a hard time accessing the station. Fare control is at the West (South) end. The street entrance is hard to find being in the side of a building. Based on counting steps, PATH is below the IRT 1 train 

9TH STREET

9th Street has two tracks and an island platform. This station has also seen a sharp increase in usage since 9/11 and here again a second entrance is embroiled in controversy with the locals. Fare control is at the East (North) end. At street level the entrance is hard to find. A big help here would be for a pylon, banner or other signage to help find the entrance. Here too, access is controlled during rush hours. West of here there is a bell mouth which was planned to connect to the Lexington Avenue subway. Based on counting steps this station is between the IND 8th Avenue and IND 6th Avenue tracks at about the level of the lower mezzanine of the IND’s West 4th Street Station.

Your webmaster had a chance to speak to PATH and NYCT track workers about the layout and got the same answer from both: The tracks are not on the same level! Think of a sandwich with two slices of bread- IND Local, PATH, and IND Express, Of course, at 14th the Canarsie BMT is still lower. 

14TH STREET

14th Street has two tracks and two wall platforms. There is no free crossover or crossunder to the other platform, Eastbound has a separate entrance from the street in the side of a building while westbound (Southbound) features common entrance with the sixth Avenue subway, But with separate fare controls. The common Mezzanine westbound features mosaic directional tablets for Hudson Tubes  

19th Street

19th Street had two tracks and two wall platforms. It now serves as an emergency fan plant and was closed to speed up service.

23RD STREET

23rd Street has two tracks and two wall platforms there is a crossunder to the subway but there are separate fare controls for each direction for subway and PATH. The PATH is slightly lower than the subway based on counting steps.

28TH STREET

28th Street had two tracks and two wall platforms and was a victim of the 6th Avenue IND construction
