History
Ashland, which opened on October 31, 1993, is similar to other stations on the Orange Line and has a layout based on those of the Dan Ryan Line, except that, unlike the last stations of the Dan Ryan Branch of the Red Line, this station is not located in the middle of an expressway. It is composed of a central platform overlooking the entrance and is equipped with escalators and elevators providing accessibility to passengers with disabilities. Unlike other stations on the Orange Line, Ashland does not have a park-and-ride facility.
