59th Street–Columbus Circleon theIRT Broadway–Seventh Avenue Line, opened on October 27, 1904, has four tracks and twoside platforms.
Despite being a major transfer point to the IND Eighth Avenue Line, the station was constructed as a local stop prior to the IND\'s construction in 1932. At one point, theNew York City Transit Authorityconsidered converting the station to an express stop by rerouting the local tracks to the outside of the platforms.[8]This would have coincided with72nd Streetbecoming a local stop by fencing off or walling up the express side of the island platforms there. The conversion of the station to an express station was planned to serve the under construction New York Coliseum.[8]
When the station opened, there was an underpass between the downtown and uptown platforms. In the 1970s, it was closed and the staircase entrances covered over. Today, passengers use theINDmezzanine and platforms to transfer between directions. Both platforms have two fare controls which are on the same level, one of which connects to the mezzanine leading to the IND platforms.
