Halsey Street Subway Station

Thank God for the L train, its more dependable and reliable when your traveling to the Northern part of Queens that borders Bushwick. Subway is quite, dim and kind of desolate looking both in and outside and a long trek into Queens. But at least you get reliable train service at this station.

They should put a metro card machine on the Norman Street, Hasley stop train station. I always have to walk 3 blocks to the other entrance to refill my metro card. What if I’m in a rush?! –_​_​–

Happy you’re back running. It was a sad 10 days with out you L Train!

Usually ok, but occasionally the Norman St end doesn’t work.

I don’t like that the Norman Street entrance into Manhattan has the occasional problems with reading your Metrocard & that you have to walk all the way to George Street to get onto the train if the reader is acting up that day (you also have to go to George to refill Metrocards & Halsey for the Brooklyn bound train, which is a huge pain for us). Initially, it seems the MTA was trying to close this entrance but then changed their minds.
You’ll see some interesting graffiti here though apparently some misogynistic, homophobic Jesus fanatic lives around here since you’ll see the occasional «Jesus Save» written on posters & on paper posted to trash cans. I’ve also seen non-​religiously themed posters defaced and crossed out with Xs in character’s faces.
At one point, there was an increased police presence here but they apparently didn’t get the «Jesus Save» guy. Make sure you know which side of the station you need to be on since if you pick the wrong side, you’ll have to pay to get to the other one.
