Spanish term or phrase: estación de formato de pozo convencional
This term appears in a list of types of stations, i.e. some are on viaducts, and others are in this "conventional well format". Just wondering if there is a specific term in English that refers to a subway station in the format of a well of some kind or other, other than just saying an underground station. Many thanks in advance.

station with a conventional well structure


Explanation:
I've found these examples.

Infrastructure challenge: from Aeroport to Europa Fira the stations are conventional, like the rest on the Barcelona metro. From Can Tries/Gornal to Zona Universitària the stations will have the usual L9 format, with a well structure and a 12-metre diameter tunnel through which the trains run on two levels, with a separation between tracks.

Reto de infraestructuras: del Aeroport a Europa Fira las estaciones son convencionales, como las habituales en el metro de Barcelona. De Can Tries/Gornal a Zona Universitària, en cambio, las estaciones tienen el formato característico de la L9, con estructura en forma de pozo y túnel de 12 metros de diámetro por donde los trenes circulan en dos niveles de vía, con una losa intermedia.

Thirty of 52 stations will be excavated, ¡ndependently of the tunnel (in a well structure up to 70m-deep), with superimposed platforms constructed inside them. There is also a small stretch of 3.9km which has been constructed on a viaduct with open air stations.

Everything on Une 9/10 is innovative, from the construction of the tunnel on two levels and the well-shaped stations installed with large-capacity elevators for access, to the automatic driverless trains and the platforms
with screen doors.

You could also use 'conventional well-shaped station'.

I've also found texts that use 'round shaft'.
