Yesterday, we waited at the 34th Street station for a few trains to pass before one of the refurbished models, with its navy blue wrapping, pulled into the station.

On board, we noticed a faint smell, like that of a freshly opened Band-Aid.

Perhaps it came from the ceiling and walls, which were decorated with colorful new wallpaper that gave the car the feel of a preschool playroom.

With the seats removed at the front and back of the car, it felt roomy, even, dare we say, luxurious — though that likely won’t be the case during rush hour.

Also new: A glowing digital screen that played a video ad for Madame Tussauds, along with public service announcements on subway etiquette (“Keep your stuff to yourself: Be a space saver”).

People were enthusiastic about the interiors, calling them “bright,” “cheerful,” even “beautiful.”

As for the deleted seats, reviews were mixed.
