Stand clear of the opening doors please

According to service change notices posted this morning, the Uptown Cortlandt Street subway station on the R and W lines will re-open service tomorrow, November 25th, at 3pm. (The Uptown N will also stop at Cortlandt during overnights). This station was closed briefly after 9/11, re-opened, but has now currently been closed and mostly barren since 2005. I ride this line every day and had noticed significant changes at Cortlandt in the past month, but am still somewhat suprised that they're ready to open so soon. I'll be out of town and am kinda sad I won't be able to ride during one of the inagural stops at Cortlandt, it'll be nice to hear the computerized voice announce that the next stop is Cortlandt Street and actually mean it! One thing is for sure, the re-opening of Cortlandt Street is sure to make Century 21 shoppers very happy.
