mark1447 Posted July 26, 2009 Share #1 Posted July 26, 2009 I got a question, what is the point of using the same route destination but using different announcements from the female personalities which are the same. Ill give example, hard to explain^^ Train: This is a Manhattan Bound Train [used during non-Late Night Hrs] This is a Manhattan Bound LOCAL Train [used during Late Night Hrs] Train: This is an Eastchester Bound Local Train [used during Midday, Eve] This is an Eastchester Bound Train [used during Dyre and at Baychester Ave before hitting Dyre] This is an Eastchester- DYRE Avenue Bound LOCAL train [used during Rush Hrs after Peak via White Plains Rd Express and Northbound Local AM peak when Brooklyn Trains via WPR Exp] This is a Manhattan Bound TRAIN [used during Evenings and Weekends to Bowling Green] This is a Manhattan Bound LOCAL Train [used during Middays and PM WPR Local Rush Hr when heading to Flatbush | Limited Utica and/or New Lots] Train: This is a Woodlawn Bound Train [All day except Late Nights] This is a Woodlawn Bound LOCAL Train [Late Night Only starting at 125th St] Train: This is a Manhattan Bound Train [used Middays(I think when Pelham Exp is in service) and evenings and weekends] This is a Manhattan Bound Local Train [used during RH] Train: This is a Manhattan Bound Train [used All Day in BKLYN and QNS] This is a Manhattan Bound LOCAL Train [used during Late Nights] I think the is similar too with its Queens Bound. Dont think the or . And Skip Stop Exp and as well as the .. Anyways there could be more then this. But what is the point of using ether "BOUND [Route] Local Train" or "BOUND [Route] Train." Is it just to specify the Rush Hr, Midday, Eve, L Nights and Wkends? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R62A 1991 Posted July 26, 2009 Share #4 Posted July 26, 2009 I don't know, but I've always wondered why Broad St-bound (J)s announce that they're locals in Manhattan. There are no express stops in Manhattan at all for the . To add to your list: (Weekends when the is Eastern Pkwy Lcl, but Lexington Av EXP): "This is a Manhattan-bound train. (Late Nights when it's a full local): "This is a Manhattan-bound LOCAL train." "This is a Bronx-bound train." That doesn't get me. It announces that it's local in Brooklyn, but not in Manhattan? I know that this is severe nitpicking though, and if it works, it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustclee Posted July 26, 2009 Share #5 Posted July 26, 2009 train has an "express train" variation as well. It also uses the "local train" announcement sometimes on weekdays. But to be honest, how many people actually pay attention to these minor differences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTR Admiralty Posted July 26, 2009 Share #7 Posted July 26, 2009 Here's this, this set-up is to differentiate between the express trains and the local trains. Without the local announcement, it was assumed that the passengers would assume that the train will be express. The local announcement serves as an emphasis, indicating that this train is running local. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S78 via Hylan Posted July 26, 2009 Share #8 Posted July 26, 2009 That happened on the I rode today. It ran express from Prospect Park to Kings Hwy, but the annoucements kept saying it was a local train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RokuSix Posted July 27, 2009 Share #11 Posted July 27, 2009 The specifications are used during a time when a train runs specially, i.e. the Pelham Express. That way, riders will remember that service is a certain way at that time of day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatOne2k Posted July 27, 2009 Share #12 Posted July 27, 2009 says This is a Manhattan bound local train whenever it starts at E 177 St Parkchester weekdays or weekends (some GOs). Pelham Bay and trains both say This is a Manhattan bound 6 train (unless is running express from Pelham Bay to 177 St). After 177 St becomes This is a Manhattan bound express train, while stays This is a Manhattan bound train Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTR Admiralty Posted July 27, 2009 Share #13 Posted July 27, 2009 Yeah, but the is Brighton Local/Broadway Express 24/7. On weekdays it says "Manhattan bound (Q)" and on weekends it says "Manhattan bound local" even though the service is exactly the same. Just another enigma from the MTA. Makes no sense at all. They should've played the local announcement during the weekday, when there is an express service along the Brighton (the (). On the weekends, the is clearly the local, since there is no express along it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
