   The next stop northbound is 21st Street, which is in Queens. Conductors   
   on all trains do have to announce the borough when the train enters or   
   leaves one.   
      
   For example, at Borough Hall on the Eastern Parkway Line, you will hear   
   the conductor announce that it is the last stop in Brooklyn, whilst at   
   Bowling Green they will announce that this is the first stop in Manhattan.
