   It is -- I was on it last week, along with several

   end (sigh).

   Huh.  I have no clear memory of that -- I think it is still   
   just one way.  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.
