Ironically, we now have to look for opposite express/local clues as the train enters the station. On the R62As, there is no indication on the large front sign, since the operators were told to leave the circle at all times, and we have to look at the side signs for the constant (green) circle or (red) diamond.But on the R188s, the only constant express/local sign is on the front, with either the (red) circle or (red) diamond. The side signs alternate their displays, so the EXP/LCL isn't always there to see. Interestingly, the interior strip maps show a new express/local distinction, with bulbs being in places I don't recall seeing on the other lines' strip maps, but those can't help you decide whether to board as the train enters the station. |
