I like it a lot. I think the style is representative of the real thing. I
think the platform should be a little wider, but other than that. I think
you’ve gotten it nicely.
I actually noticed this on Brickshelf yesterday and made it a point to really
pay attention and look for trash and newspapers on the subway ride home last
night. I was thinking that maybe I am just oblivious to it and accepting it
now that I’ve been riding the subway for 16 years. Happily, I noticed none.
Without a doubt, late nights and weekends the subways have more trash in
them, but otherwise, I say: clean up your MOC. :o)

off the red suit with pointed ears and putting the pitchfork away until the
ride home) ;o)

Though I’ve never ridden the subway I get the impression that this is more
representative of the 80s rather than the current, much improved version. I’ve
read in many places that the Subway is now much cleaner, better and more
comfortable than the London Tube. It was designed from pictures and my memory of
how films (usually from the 80s) portrayed the seedier stations.
To add to the then and now issue, I suspect that quality of the Moscow Metro and
NY Subway have probably swapped from my pictures. I’ll bet the former is
probably a lot dirtier than it was in the 80s while the latter is much cleaner.
Let’s call them historical MOCs ;)
As for the platform, I think it should be wider too but I had to sacrifice
accuracy for visual effect since a wider platform would have meant the picture
would show less of the details.
