    two 2-bike shells, bring your own lock

    Wasn't planning on going anywhere before I found this, now that I have I'm thinking a jaunt up the seaboard might be in order. This station dates back almost to the turn of the century, the colonial revival style blends in well with the greater Kannapolis downtown revitalization project which is slated to include minor league baseball (but that will be another review). The station opened to passengers in late 2004, nine years later a canopy was added to protect passengers from weather phenomena while waiting for one of the eight daily trains. There's a big fancy clock out front with the departure times heading north and south. Easy in, easy out but I'm not sold on the practicality of day tripping around the Piedmont. Until more trains are added I'd be more inclined to weekends away. Not sure how ticketing and baggaging work because I've only had a brief look but how tough can it be? yea trains!

    The northern terminus of the LYNX Blue Line at the end of the 19.3 mile track, this station is…read morelocated on the campus of University of North Carolina Charlotte https://www.yelp.com/biz/university-of-north-carolina-charlotte-charlotte. UNCC is a massive campus with an enrollment of some 30,000 students and it stands on a 1,000 acre campus. The station is at the surface level with a single island platform. There is a crossover just before the station and the trains could be at the stop on either side. There is some cover here but the station is otherwise completely exposed to the elements as are nearly all Blue Line stations. There is an automated ticket vending machine on the platform and you must have a ticket before boarding the train. You can also use the CATS app to purchase online. The next stop southbound is JW Clay Blvd/UNC Charlotte towards I-485/South Boulevard. A full run of the entire line https://www.yelp.com/collection/HPr54TmCPySOUTOSgzOvZA/Mind-the-gap-y-all takes about 45 minutes. As Chris S. mentions, there is parking here but it is only for those with campus parking permits. [Review 16942 overall - 3264 in North Carolina - 458 of 2022.]

Glad this line still exists and more to come. Just wish tap pay did pick-up but if you download the app you can move things along expeditiously for yourself. Oh, more hooks, handles and seats would help with the AM crowd. PM crowd wasn't so bad.

This clean and modern station is quite large and features a decent covered waiting area on the platform where there are automated ticket vending machines and overhead announcements (both visual and audible) of the next train in either direction. There are two platforms with the two tracks between them. This is a surface station and easily handicap accessible. A big plus here is the very large five story parking deck (800 spaces!) that is connected to the station with a pedestrian bridge and stairs/elevator. At the moment, parking is free though you need a ticket in order to exit the deck on weekdays between 3pm and 6pm. There is a great stop for a number of CATS buses on the opposite side of the parking deck. Very close to the station is the Shoppes at University Place shopping center and a number of apartment/condo buildings. The station is between UNC Charlotte (the northern terminus) and McCullogh to the south.
