Beautiful. Despite being one of the largest train station in the nation, grand central also was architectural and aesthetically pleasing. It looks like pantheon combined with modern elements.
The layout is pretty neat so that you are not gonna get lost even if it’s your first time in the enormous station as staffs are friendly to question.
Lots of dining and shopping options in the station.

GCM is one of the cleanest and modern train stations I’ve ever seen.

I don’t need to explain it further, this deserves an automatic 5 stars. Even though it’s close proximity to Penn Station, this terminal was heavily needed and honestly gets it’s fair share of revenue service. This terminal is simplistic, very easy to memorize, and even though a long distance to reach the subway or GCT, it honestly felt like it was nothing. Ima stop here. Go see this amazing terminal for yourself. Worth it for sure.

Best station in the city!

Everything about this facility is great, the bathrooms are clean and the station is in excellent condition. I enjoyed my first train ride from this station, can’t wait to visit it again.

Just make sure to give yourself enough time to get from street level to your assigned platform. I bought a mobile ticket so I didn’t get the chance to go by the ticketing machines.

There was some maintenance work on the escalators, that wasn’t a deal breaker.

Great place to visit alongside being able to get trains to different locations. The staff do need a little charm training but that’s expected from a tired busy workforce.

It's a nice station which makes it easier for transit the east side of Manhattan to the the rest of Long Island.

Took a long time, but it was worth the wait. Beautiful station.

We had to wait 20 years but the New LIRR Station at GCT is pretty amazing!!!
For now there is only one train that connects GCT to Jamaica, I believe every four or so, I rode it to go to Forest Hills - takes about 14/16 minutes with a stop in woodside. Love the new space, there are several art pieces as well and it looks like there will be ample space for stores — Irene
