Location

The Violet Line station is elevated while the Magenta Line station is underground. Both of these are connected by a 260 m (850 ft) long pedestrian bridge. The underground station is situated at a depth of 17 m (56 ft) and both of its tracks pass through a single-tube twin tunnel, which was constructed using the New Austrian tunneling method (NATM). This had to be done because the station had to pass beneath the operational Violet Line.
