The W express service resumed in Astoria as of Monday, 11/19. It was originally suspended because the crowds at 30th Avenue and Broadway were complaining about inferior service with just the N stopping there. Then the Ditmars crowd started to bellow about the lack of express service. I lived in Astoria from 1960-1994 and I see the temperament of the area hasn't changed much. Add this to the fact that we have a line superintendent on the W line who's always trying to please everyone, rather than come to a decision, and this is the result. Since I work the W as a conductor,IMHO, the all local service was more efficient. You didn't run express from the Plaza to Astoria Blvd. and then sit there for 5 or 7 minutes waiting for a pocket up at Ditmars.
