MARTA Proctor Creek Line (Green Line)

Bankhead  (P4 )Single island platform, two tracks, elevated. This station was opened on December 12, 1992. This is a one station spur off the main line. The station is only 150 feet long, enough only for a two car train.  It is expandable to make a four car train. There is a red gabled roof over the platform. There is a bus area outside fare control. Since Bankhead is a terminal station, a track is provided to both store a two car train and turn back a second two car train at the same time. Original plans called for a station at Perry Homes (P5)

Ashby(W3) The Ashby station is an unusual configuration. It is an underground station on two levels, with one track on each level. (If both tracks were on the same level, it would resemble one island platform and a side platform on the eastbound side.) The tracks are nearly over one another. You can see the tunnels split right past the west end of the station. The walls along the platform are marble, and the walls next to the track are blue tile. The ceiling is a waffle design painted white. There is a painting on the westbound platform, on the blue tile. This mural depicts the city of Atlanta and Atlanta University Center.  It was installed 12/1979. The railing that keeps you from falling down to the lower level is painted blue. This station was opened on December 22, 1979.

Vine City (W2)Single island platform, two tracks, it is underground/ground level. The west end of the station is above ground, and the remaining 3/4 is fairly deep underground; it has somewhat long stairs to reach the platform. The columns and floor of the platform is made of brick. The walls along the tracks have rectangular panels that are painted in shades of gray and blue. The mezzanine has brick columns and a steel roof. This station was opened on December 22, 1979.

Dome/GWCC/Philips Arena/CNN Center (W1)  Single island platform, two tracks, underground. The ceiling over the mezzanine and platform is waffled, and in each of the squares inside of them, there is an orange panel. Part of the ceiling over the platform is an arched waffle. Everything is made of cement. The west end of the station is briefly at the surface, covered by road bridges. Just past the station, the train goes back underground. This station has the most number of faregates and escalators to handle the crowds for events at the former Omni and Georgia World Congress Center. Today it services the new Phillips Arena, Georgia World Congress Center and Georgia Dome. While travel up or down the escalators there is concrete mural depicting the industrial revolution. This station was opened on December 22, 1979.

Five Points is the main transfer point in the the MARTA system. it is discussed on the complexes page.

Georgia State (E1)Two side platforms, two tracks, elevated. The station is below the Twin Towers State buildings (Sloppy Floyd Building), next to the lobby. The mezzanine is below the platforms. The walls of the station are all brick. There is "basket weave" artwork on the walls of the mezzanine. The west end of the station is over Piedmont Ave. The train becomes elevated going eastbound. This station was opened on June 30, 1979.

The section between Georgia State and Avondale was the first section of the line to begin operating, with Decatur the only subway station in the stretch.

King Memorial (E2) Two side platforms, two tracks, elevated. This is the highest station in the system, being 51 feet above the ground. The roof of the station is steel with skylights in them. Columns supporting the roof are round, made of cement, and are covers with stainless steel. The walls along the platform are cement, painted yellow and about 7 or 8 feet high, so you can't see through them, except through narrow gaps between each section. The walls curve inward toward the top. There are emergency staircases that run from the platform to the street. Freight lines run along the eastbound side of the tracks from here until East Lake station. When you are traveling westbound past this station, you get a nice view of Downtown and Midtown with Buckhead in the distance. The route serving the Bankhead station normally terminates here. This station was opened on June 30, 1979.
