   It is -- I was on it last week, along with several   
   people playing Pokemon Go who almost fell off it at the west   
   end (sigh).

   Huh.  I have no clear memory of that -- I think it is still just one   
   way.  Before last week I'd never, actually, in 42 years of riding the   
   subway, been to the "7" end of that station complex that I can recall.   
   It's huge!  It reminds me of Chatelet- Les Halles in Paris, except for   
   the extreme oddity of Chatelet that one of the lines stops there   
   *twice*, once on each end.  You have your choice of taking the train or   
   walking (underground) from one end of the huge snaky station to the   
   other.  Excluding the continuous platforms on the Red Line in Chicago,   
   is there anywhere else that's the case?  I can't think of an example in   
   New York.
