    Welcome to downtown Saint Louis! This station is one of the only two in the entire Metrolink…read morenetwork that has an escalator (the other is at Convention Center). It is the station closest to the famous Gateway Arch and there is signage pointing the way. It was opened in 1993. There are the usual ticket vending machines. Metrolink is a proof-of-payment system meaning that there are no turnstiles and you must validate your ticket before boarding the train. The station has side platforms, which means that the doors will open on the right. It is on the section of the Metrolink that services both the Red and Blue Lines, where it is between Stadium (towards Airport and Shrewsbury-Landsdowne) and Convention Center (towards Shiloh-Scott and Fairview Heights). The station is fully disabled accessible though there are multiple exits and only some are so configured. At street level, you'll find apartments, office buildings and retail shopping.

    This is the closest Metrolink station to the Gateway Arch and to the hotel that I stayed at in St…read more Louis. There are separate entrances depending on which direction you are traveling, so check to see if you are entering the westbound or eastbound entrance. Given the location to the Arch, I found this station pretty sketchy. It is operational and not derelict, but it is in need of a deep clean as it has the foul odor of urine. I avoided lugging my carry-on on its floors and opted to carry it to avoid its stench. Wait times for a train are about 20 minutes, so I would check the train schedule to spend as little time here as necessary or get on at another stop that is not as suspect. The Convention Center stop is marginally better if you do not mind walking a few blocks north.
