I live in Park West and took the train to work this morning, first time using the new station. It's a major improvement over the hole in the ground that previously passed as a station. I'd now consider the train a viable commuting option.

The old station in bad weather was simply the worst place in the world to be. It was clever design to have the plaza area covering the platforms.

There are bus stops right outside just on the cedarbrook side of the bridge, a pedestrian crossing wouldn't go amiss though. Until now, the 79A has never stopped there simply because nobody wanted to get on or off there.
