The gap between the train and the platform is so big my 5 yo son stepped into it and went down. Thankfully I was holding his hand and was able to yank him back up.

Needs reform.
Considering the age of this station, I don't think this station is as bad as others say it is. It's perfect, for avoiding the crowds of Addison one station south. And I love that Emerald City Coffee is accessible, from a door within the station house. I have no doubt that one day this station will be renovated, and Emerald City(a la the former Demon Dogs at Fullerton) will more than likely get pushed out. So as so many of the unique businesses attached to L stations have sadly gotten kicked out in recent years(i.e. the Thai restaurant at Central St.-Purple many years ago), enjoy them here while you still can. Also anyone who gives this station a 1 or 2 star review, has never experienced the awful pigeon poop filled north exit only stairway at Bryn Mawr. Or the really old(and underrated in how bad they are) stations of Foster and also Noyes, on the Purple Line. Now all these 3 stations are WORSER to me, than Sheridan is! And unlike what another reviewer 1 year ago incorrectly said that only the Red Line stops here at all times, southbound Purple Line Express trains will ALSO stop here during the afternoon rush hour, ONLY on days Cub night games are scheduled. Northbound Purple Line Expresses do not stop here at any time, though.
Good location but needs updating. I agree the stairs are too narrow and steep. If you can avoid this stop I’d recommend it, especially during winter months. If the Wilson stop can get updates, this stop should be able to get some too. Only line that stops here is the red line.
Chill spot.
