The city and MTA have proposed extending the line as part of the [[Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project]]. During select weekends, the 7 doesn't run south of Queensboro Plaza due to track work. Customers are advised to take the N train into Manhattan.

R36 7 local northbound at 33 Street-Rawson

The 7 Flushing Local is a service of the New York City Subway, running local service along the full length of the Flushing Line, with express service (7 Flushing Express) denoted by a diamond-shaped 7 train logo rather than a circular one. The express service runs in the peak direction (to Times Square during mornings, to Flushing-Main Street during evenings) between 06:30 and 22:00 on weekdays. The service is colored purple on official maps and signage and is the only route on the Flushing Line. This route is the only in the system to run 11 car trains; these are the longest trains on the . Odd train lengths are rare, as cars are typically produced and operated in pairs. The 7 is known as the "International Express" because the route travels through neighborhoods of many different nationalities and cultures.

This line was the last stronghold for the Redbirds. Until 2002, the entire fleet was dominated by the R33/36 World's Fair Version. As time passed, the Redbirds were being phased out and replaced by the Bombardier built R62As. On November 3, 2003, the last Redbird train made its final trip on this line, making all stops between Times Square and Willets Point-Shea Stadium.

The 7 designation has been assigned to its current route since the introduction of front rollsigns on the R12 in 1948. Rollsigns on current equipment (R62) include the number 11 to substitute for the express 7 designation. At some point, the line will receive new cars which have digital rollsigns but are only able to display one digit. The MTA has no plans to change its designation, however.

The city and MTA have proposed extending the line as part of the Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project.
