Capitol Street South is a station on Lines A and D of the Togcity and Block Nation Subway. It is located next to the UNOC building and has its exit to Capitol Avenue north of the UNOC/Capitol Building Complex.

Platform and track configuration

Line A has two tracks and an island platform between them at this station. Line D has two tracks and two side platforms, and Line DX runs as an express between them, bypassing the station via the two center tracks.

History

At first, this station was an in-fill station on Line A. At that point, Line A went straight from Grand Central to Hannaford with no stops in between, so this station and Winter Square station were added on Line A so it would function as a crosstown. The area with Lines D and DX was built later, first with Line D southbound using the westernmost track and platform and Line D northbound using the northbound express track and a platform extension from the side platform. Line D northbound was later moved to the northbound local track and the temporary platform extension, along with the northbound express track, were removed. The Capitol Shuttle's track was in the southbound express trackway. Eventually, the northbound express track was added back and Line DX started running its full route.
