Around the Horn

Actually the weird part was... it was a Diesel.

funny how I had a dream that a 05 showed up on the b64...

Construction work is happening at either the City Hall Loop or the local tracks at Brooklyn Bridge station (whichever direction).

Now that makes sense...

is it me or is that Yukon lost alot of their Orions to Castleton

 Seems so...

Noooooooooooooooo....

I guess my services is no longer required since so many people were complaining that I wasn't giving up to date roster notifications. So, I will no longer do it. Sorry. Been busy trying to get things straighten with my life as well as accepting a position at Greyhound as a driver, if anyone gives a damn but who cares. So, goodbye.

And, Trevor, no beef on you my friend. Great work. Just miffed that people can't understand that I am busy and I try to do what I can yet some are so very rude. And, thus, my patience has run it's course........

Good luck with Greyhound.Im sorry to see you stay end like this...Stay Strong!

Fantastic!

*****Yes, the RTS are back on the list because they are being repainted (in some cases yet again) and I'm not going to discriminate. So after talking with a member of the forums, ANY repaints will be added onto the list. Thanks everyone!*****

 

In that case please add 5124,333 and 9387...

In that case please add 5124,333 and 9387...

Sorry didnt see 9387 on the list...

R68s could also pop up.

Heaven on flanged wheels!

Would make sense to use CI equipment for a 95-Jay shuttle.

R160s on  the here we come

In all seriousness,when are the dates for this?

5124 is suprisingly not on the list considering it was repainted and recieved a Hanover a couple of months ago...

excellent just try to makes the seats more of a blueish color...

So 2486 back from Secaucus, NJ as of 1:58pm, 2487 sent to the Vendor for the weekend - next week.

are you sure cause i saw it on the X27 about 15 minutes ago...

Well to me, if they're making it full length they're expecting a much bigger crowd (including possible tourists/people from other parts of the city) so it's lost revenue for the MTA if they don't charge for it. 

even though i agree with this

I think they are just following what is normal procedure with the :4 cars in winter,8 cars in summer

I don't think Gordon meant there were structural problems with the Montague tubes. What he's probably saying, and what should be obvious, is that following Sandy, it seems like a week can't go by without something affecting either the signals, the tracks or the trains at Whitehall St or Court St. It can't be a coincidence. That's why there will be partial closures of the tubes in the coming weeks.

weekend service changes?

theres your poster,Lance...

I've noticed it's been quite a while since there was a weekend detour on the .Wonder how much longer that will last.

here is the post^

Alright, who said they haven't seen any line disruptions lately?

You jinxed it.

 

EDIT 14:13 Since this thing wants to be difficult, I'll type it out.

 

- No trains between Lorimer St and 8 Av.

and trains, M14 buses & free shuttle buses provide alternate service.

service is extended to 57 St.

Q72 LTD sign when such a service doesn't exist... B82 LTD sign where it's not supposed to be....

 

DOT needs to get on the ball here.... Makes you wonder how many more incorrect bus stop signs there are in this city....

there is still a B64 to Bay Ridge sign at the B16 stop at 86 Street and 4 Avenue going to Bay Ridge ...

I dont see where you're trying to get at. Who in Battery Park City is going for New Jersey?  And I see this tactic, your total outcome is to eliminate the M20 quickly with faster alternatives (well if there's no traffic). For any BPC proposal you've came up with, it includes something to either elminate it or mess it up. And how'd the B71 come up in this discussion?

it was discused in the brooklyn thread,his B71 would be extended to south ferry...

A few s and s got sent via Queens Blvd from what I heard.

WOW!thats rare!

Well according to madd people on this forum...everyone says "Artics can make the same turns as 40ft buses"

And i believe them because they drive the buses...

the artics have a 35ft front tractor...as for 40ft buses its 40ft turning...and if an MCI can turn on this street that yall are talking about..which is 45ft...then well just act like an artic is 2 35ft buses turning...

I see what your saying but the turn is wider therefore if a b64 does the turn at Shore Road and 71 St the front wheels go over the yellow line at the widest point in the turn yet when I recreate this with my CTA DE60lf paperbus,it hits the row of parked cars on the drivers side...

But this turn in the videos could be done with an artic based on the fact that M101 AND M102 buses do a simular turn but turning right instead of left in front of Cooper Union,every trip of every day

excellent start!

 

 

That is all.

 

Do I get any points for telling a friend in school at exactly the same time as your post "there is an artic on the Q10 today...."?

 

BTW here's a pic for those interested

da faq?

that is the weirdest repaint yet...

NFI Doesn't play games lol, they're just about done. BTW the oler C40's are almost out the door, only 5 left in service at JG. 839, 868, 878, 881, 923, 934, 945, 958, 979 & 983 Out of commission, sitting against the fence.

983 was on the b16 school tripper today...
