Southbound trains served the center platform in the morning and northbound trains served the platform in the afternoon. This does need a comma, as the items on either side of "and" are sentences in their own right.
One of the station's entrances, which also leads to the Turnstyle retail complex This image caption uses "Turnstyle" instead of "TurnStyle" as in the article copy.
The 61st Street exit was operated part-time, closing at nights, consisted of a high exit turnstile and was used by 2,400 daily passengers. Maybe The 61st Street exit was operated part-time, closing at nights; consisted of a high exit turnstile; and was used by 2,400 daily passengers.
Earwig's highest spot check ratio is 21%, and it's entirely proper nouns (IRT, IND, etc.) and formulations like "the southbound platform and a".

I tried (maybe poorly) to fix what I thought was some ambiguity to a layperson coming to this article. I still think it's unclear, as there are a lot of assumptions being made about what the reader will know about the NYC subway system; i.e. "Southbound local" and "southbound express" refer to 8th Avenue local and 8th Avenue express, respectively. The station doesn't have any tracks for the Sixth Avenue Line, and the notation "(incoming)" is not clear." I know it's true, but is there any quickly-readable (by a newcomer) piece of text that explains why this is the case?

Does it really need the "express/local" text at all? It might be enough to simply have the text up there and the reader will have to look elsewhere to learn more.
