Until February 25, 1956, Trolley Routes 8 and 39 (now a bus line) service as the stations connections which travels westbound on Susquehanna Avenue to the Strawberry Mansion neighborhood, and eastbound on Dauphin Street to the Kensington neighborhood.
Station layout
Fares are collected at the center of the platforms on each side of the tracks, as there is no crossover built at this station.
Station mural
The station features a mural entitled City Diary, created by Philadelphia children in 1997. The mural consists of many 8 in (20.32 cm) ceramic tiles, split into two pieces on opposite sides of the station, with lengths of 28 ft (8.53 m) and 19 ft (5.79 m), respectively. Over 170 children between the ages of 6 and 16 contributed to the project, which was dedicated to the station on June 11, 1997.
