Since this service pattern was implemented, it seems like most conductors will only announce local vs. express at Grand Central, the Plaza and Woodside itself. Sometimes 45-CH. Mostly it's just "7 to Flushing" and the next stop. If door crowding of confused passengers persists, they'll sometimes get the hint and say whether it's local or express.Come to think of it, even under the original pattern of outbound express service after the Plaza, there are still too many conductors who don't make the proper announcement. "7 to Flushing, Vernjax next, watchaclozindaws." Yes, someone needing one or the other COULD board the train and transfer at the point of demarcation if necessary. But that shouldn't be necessary, especially if the weather is bad or if it means giving up a seat. |
