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.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
