Newbury Subway

Newbury Subway (70430) is a 356-piece LEGO® Hidden Side set that builds a subway entrance and platform in the fictional town of Newbury. Three minifigures and 140 unique parts support the ghost-hunting theme the range is known for, in a dark grey, black, light grey and dark tan palette that gives the station a slightly eerie, urban feel.

What can I build with it?

Description

A station with two states

The set builds a subway entrance with stairs and an adjoining platform that, like other Hidden Side sets, can be reconfigured into a spookier, haunted version. At 356 pieces the build stays compact but still leaves room for details such as posters, barriers and small station props. That transforming feature sets Hidden Side sets apart from standard City builds, effectively turning one model into two different play scenes without needing any extra pieces, which adds replay value beyond a single fixed layout.

140 parts of city detail

The 140 unique elements provide enough variety to dress both the everyday station and its haunted counterpart convincingly. Everyday props such as bins, signs and barriers sit alongside a handful of specialised pieces reserved for the ghost effects. The parts list on this page shows exactly which pieces belong to which state of the station, which is useful when working out how the transformation is meant to happen before starting the build itself.

Three minifigures for the case

The three minifigures typically split between investigator-type characters and a ghost, matching the Hidden Side concept, where a companion app once layered extra digital effects onto the physical scene. Even without the app, the set works as a self-contained subway scene with figures ready for roleplay. For fans of detective or ghost stories, that mix gives more to act out than a plain street scene would, since each figure clearly has its own distinct role in the story.

An urban grey-and-tan palette

Dark bluish grey, black, light bluish grey and dark tan dominate the colour scheme, giving the station the muted, slightly gloomy look of a subway stop at night. The full breakdown of all 140 parts is listed on this page, which is useful when combining this set with other Hidden Side builds into a larger Newbury scene with additional streets or buildings that share the same colour tones.
