Those names were around when we were in Middle school." lol Rode the El & Sub for far too many years to just fluently speak those stations names as if they've been called by those all along.

For it, it's still gonna take some getting used to.
11th Street wasn't renamed. Market East was renamed for Jefferson, which bought the naming rights to it. So you're good with that station.

There are stations on the West Trenton line where you have to move forward to get off as well.
