shh, the rich republican nimbys are asleep, i gotta be quiet here. anyhow, welcome to the least-used port washington line station: plandome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

plandome station consists of a singular side platform and a singular track, going above stonytown road and is next door to a country club. it’s got your usual station amenities, including a bus shelter on one end of the platform, a ticketing machine, a waiting room (surprisingly – but it was locked) which has a restroom(!!!), a ramp, stairs, and some parking. the station house also happens to house the local post office, which is pretty cool in its own right! as for other connections, it’s got nothing. the nearest connection is a rather dicey walk to nice’s n23 bus to manorhaven and mineola, on port washington boulevard, over a mile away. no thanks. overall though, it’s not a terrible station, even though i felt out of place in one of the most affluent (& rather republican) parts of the entire northeast (that i’ve been to so far). overall though, not a terrible station, but 0\/10 for affordability and i’d presume nimbyism is at an all-time high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the good: it’s accessible! furthermore, there’s a modest amount of parking, and it’s primarily here to serve the local neighborhood. there’s also a post office in the waiting room, and the fact there’s even a waiting room open during daytime hours at all is nice!

the bad: the land use, but this is<\/em> a super rich and super nimby area. also no bus connections, which again is likely nimbyism at play.

nearby points of interest: that country club, if you’re rich. if you’re working class like i am, absolutely nothing.

transit connections:
lirr (port washington)

overall, it’s not a bad station, and actually kinda vibey at night! it’s just really, really<\/strong><\/em> affluent and republican though.
