Two issues with this article that I had as an uninformed general reader:

1.) I don't know what "revenue service" means in the following clause: "the station is currently unused in revenue service." 2.) I don't know what "crossover" means in the following clause: "there is a crossover at the station." (I guess this means that you can go from the southbound side to the northbound side? But that would imply that at most stations, you can't make that sort of switch, which strikes me as improbable.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.36.165.12 (talk • contribs) 07:37, 2010 April 24

Revenue service means a train carrying passengers, ie, making money. The express track is unused, therefore not in revenue service.

A crossover is a pedestrian passageway that allows a free transfer between the uptown and downtown sides. You are correct that many stations' crossovers have been closed. Here's a system map with yellow dots indicating free crossovers. Acps110 ^{(talk • contribs)} 08:20, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Stop moving the pages

@StudiesWorld and Epicgenius: While I disagree with the decision made in the Rfc, I accept the decision. However, your moving of these article titles is breaking templates, such as the station layout template. I urge you to stop moving pages until the templates are all fixed. Thanks.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 15:54, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Kew Gardens 613, All right, thanks. epicgenius (talk) 15:55, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for dealing with some of these.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 16:54, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Kew Gardens 613, which templates have to be fixed? I'm happy to help. StudiesWorld (talk) 17:54, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- New GA, policy compliant, hooks are cited inline and are neutral and otherwise compliant, hooks are interesting and reliably sourced. QPQ done. I have a preference for ALT0, but either would be good. Hog Farm _Bacon 03:43, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
