Fictional New York City Subway stations

For the filming of Morbius (2022), an NYC-Subway styled station signage with its name "Front Street" served by the 2, 3, A, and C trains, similar to the Chambers Street/Park Place station complex or Fulton Street, was placed in the disused Jubilee line section at Charing Cross station on the London Underground. Similar signs were placed on buildings in the Northern Quarter of Manchester. The film also incorrectly depicts the New York Subway running on a fourth rail the way the London Underground does.
