Your Train Is On the Board and It Is Not Going to Stop. Two Kanji Warned You.

To say passes through, does not stop here in Japanese, say 通過 (tsūka).

Watching your train blast straight through the platform is a very specific kind of pain.

次: つぎ

Why this phrase

On the platform display and in the announcement, two kanji tell you the next train comes through at speed and will not stop here. Read them and you step back and take the local instead of losing twenty minutes.
