ATT Station actually has a lower platform. it was designed to help handle a sports game rush. I don't think its been used since the 90s though. The city had planned to build a western extension from Synder but that never happened. that is why there is that weird curve there. ironically the city owns the cars but leases them to SEPTA. the city also owns the MFL from 15th to 69th street I believe.

Fairmount is interesting because it has two platforms - one for the Broad Ridge Spur and the other side platforms for the Broad Street line. Last month when I stopped there, I wondered how people change at Fairmount for the two lines, had a quick glance at the stairs below, but I had a cheesesteak at Jimmy G's steaks at the same station on my mind so I had to leave the station before it closed. What I observed is, the Broad Ridge Spur's platform is lower than the Broad Street line's platform, kind of offset. Honestly I would not recommend making a transfer between the two lines at Fairmount because of the amount of stairs, and it was not explicitly mentioned that it was wheelchair accessible. Maybe in the future, both parts of Fairmount can be retrofitted as such.

The signage on Septa is very inconsistent and lacking in many places. It can be hard to tell what station you are at and the recording announcement on speakers don’t help deaf people and are sometimes not synced to where the trains actually are and announce the wrong station. Some subway entrances especially in north Philly have no signs at all. In center city they have round green signs at subway entrances but only in center city. I heard there used to be public rest rooms in the stations when they were first built. I imagine they were closed or destroyed for various problems but the stench of urine in some stations especially in the stairs going down is a problem too. But don’t get me started.

I'm impressed by how clean the stations are. Not a bit of graffiti to be seen. I remember in the early 1970s, there was spray paint on every surface. The only thing I could read was KING KOOL, with a little crown to dot the"i." The rest of it looked like it was written in a different alphabet. Some of the stuff was written on the walls opposite the platform. The only way to apply the paint would have been to stand on the tracks. Pick your poison-get electrocuted or get hit by a train.
