"Seriously, I spend so much time munching popcorn and watching people on SubChat squabble over nothing that I cancelled my Netflix."If you really want to tie yourself in knots define what is a local station, and define what is an express station. If you really want to have a fun evening - just think about answering that question. Is a local station "local" because a LOCAL train stops there? Is an express station "express" because an EXPRESS train stops there? Is a local station "local" because of its physical characteristics as in lacking express tracks or in having express tracks that by-pass the station? Is an "express" station "express" if it has "express tracks" that are rarely if ever used or not capable of being used? Is an express train route "express" when it stops at a series of stations one after the other where there are no by-pass tracks? These kinds of questions have bedeviled map makers and signage staff for decades. There have been serious debates of how to define an express route, a local route, a local station, an express station, etc. Does the physical characteristics of the stations along the line matter to the definition of "local" or "express"? Looking at previous subway maps and other documents put out over the decades - what seems like a simple question has a variety of answers. The floor is open! Remember that you gave up your Netflix for this! Mike |
