Did anybody else know there are large murals on the walls of the main lobby showing the history of the Market-Frankford Line, and all the buses and trolleys? Unfortunately, nothing from this exhibit is online. What a shame. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 06:13, 21 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

I think it's unnecessary for the succession boxes to show skip/stop for the Market-Frankford Line and Limited/Express/Local for the Norristown High Speed Line. That takes us into timetable territory, and for the purposes of navigation it's the same physical route. It was changed in ~2016 by PieInTheFace (talk·contribs) and his many sockpuppets, and I think it complicates things visually without being a value add.

(and Broad Street with its specific service spur). The flip side of this is that we do the exact same thing for the Empire Corridor Amtrak trains and the various NYC Subway Local/Express services. I don't see a problem with keeping these. The difference between this and the MNRR is that the services are clearly defined, while the Metro-north had obscure services on one timetable with no discernible service names for the New Haven trains. On another note, we would do the same for Chicago if the CTA still used their old skip-stop services. Cards84664(talk)18:15, 2 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
I don't propose to address the New York Subway today :). I didn't think we varied the succession for the Empire Service trains; I spot-checked a few and didn't see it. We don't (as far as I know) do it for the Northeast Regionals. The Ridge Spur is a good example of where it makes sense to show it; separate physical infrastructure.
