Regarding: As of 2006 passengers are allowed to remain on these trains as they go through the loop but may be asked by train crew members to leave at Brooklyn Bridge.
I can find no evidence of this online. In fact, I always thought it was mandatory to leave the train at this stop. Please help. CoolGuy 15:06, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

I think this is true, but can not verify it. Trains usually go around the loop and stop at Brooklyn Bridge before returning to the depot. Late-night passengers could stay on the train around the loop if they wanted to. Krashlandon (e) 23:45, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] When the station was open, it was an entrance only.

When the station was open, it was an entrance only. Can this be verified? CoolGuy 20:53, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

It doesn't really make any sense, almost every other station is built with an entrance and exit and City Hall itself appears to have two entry points built into it.

There's nothing suggested from the design that it was a 'one way' station Kingpin1055 22:25, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

I see that Brennan says that; I wouldn't exactly call it "proof". Who ever heard of a subway station from which you cannot exit? Marc Shepherd 02:56, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

It's not terribly farfetched, seeing as how Brooklyn Bridge is basically right down the street, but it would be somewhat odd. More sources would be greatly helpful. Larry V (talk | contribs) 03:24, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

While both stations appear to have been opened at the same time... it seems odd that City Hall would be an entrance only... it had stairwells for both an entrance and exit and it seems odd that a station designed as a 'jewel of the system' would be one-way. True, there's only one platform... I'd like to know the source of this one-way information as I haven't encountered such info on the sites I've visited... and I'm sure a site like Forgotten New York would have info like that if it were real.Kingpin1055 10:28, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Darkness

Can anyone confirm that the subway station seen in the game is not in fact Brooklyn Bridge station? I managed to find some screen grabs of what appeared to be the station in question and it was obviously not the IRT platform. Kingpin1055 17:19, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm not familiar with that game. Can you provide some links to your screenshots, maybe? --Larry V (talk | contribs) 17:23, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

'Ask and ye shall receive' :P Here you go: http://uk.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/thedarkness/screenindex.html (14th image on the page starting from the top). I realise the signs say 'Trinity Cemetary' and 'Lower East Side' but I don't know how accurate their depiction of the New York Subway is. Hence my scepticism that the City Hall IRT making an appearance.

Well, the sign I see on the column in the center of the image says "Canal St," so that immediately means it can't be City Hall. I could go into a whole other thing about why the station depicted most likely is not any subway station in the entire New York City Subway system, but why bother =) --Larry V (talk | contribs) 01:50, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Heh, the important thing is that we know ;). At any rate it's something bares further investigation when things become available... it looks like the game is actually available but it's not easy to find.Kingpin1055 10:24, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
