This is one of the oldest train stations in the system and it looks like it. They have renovating/repairing the 5 train line as long as I can remember. The 5 barely runs if at all on the weekends, always due to construction, what the hell are they fixing is beyond me. The station is currently under "renovation" if that is what you want to call it. I hardly see any construction going on. So I see they put down heavy yellow painted plywood floors to cover up the possibly deteriorating concrete floors below??? As for 5 train service it runs well until there is a signal malfunction some where along the line (either at Dyre or E. 180th) and then your day is at a standstill or be like me and do that morning scramble trying to Uber to get to the nearest 2 train station or just go all the way into work in Manhattan. Many people in this area have cars but I feel bad for the people who depend on the 5 line to get to the rest of city.
