  1. Is the forum messed up for anyone else? Everything is written in Times New Roman and the way the boards appear within the forums is completely off.

      Seems to be back to normal

      had it happen to me earlier.

  2. I've lost track of how many times people call for the R62s to be retired with ~10 years left. It's getting real tiring.

      Tell me about it. These aren't personal vehicles that can be trashed at whim.

      And if they were to retire, then the fans would complain about losing them and that they were retired early.

  3. Hey guys, just wondering, if you could please vote on this poll I have created? http://poll.pollcode.com/94963177 Unfortunately, I don't know how to link images, so you must copy and paste the links into your search engine to view the choices. Sorry. Thanks!

      Thanks for voting!

  4. I've been hit by a powerful desire to go to Bratislava. Which kind of blows, as I can't go again until September 2015.

  5. It is -30 celsius here in Toronto right now. What the hell.

  6. Happy New Year

      If it's half as bad as 2013 was, questions will be asked.

  7. I just logged onto Youtube, and not only am I being forced to use my full name, when I go to my "uploads" section it tells me I have no videos up, no subscriptions and no watch history or anything of the sort. Is anyone else having this issue?

      Well, how about that... it worked. I had no idea this existed, or when this "other" channel was created. Thanks!

      No problem lol. Stupid google plus, smh.

      You are like months late on this. Either way, when they made the shift, I never lost anything of mine with YouTube. But yes, if you deleted your Google+ account, the data linked to YouTube is deleted as well and it tells asks you two times before even deleting it.

  8. The worst part about Youtube's new updates is not the Google+ thing but that I can't click on the video to replay it, no, now I have to refresh the page. They just keep making this site worse and worse.

      I can replay it on my end.

    2. ttcsubwayfan

      ttcsubwayfan

      How odd, it works for me now, too. Must have been a temporary error.

       

      I retract my statement, then - forced Google+ is the worst part of the updates.

    3. Cait Sith

      Cait Sith

      I must be one of the only ones that's not opposed to the Google+ changes mostly because you dont really have to use it. I like it for the extra moderation, that's pretty much it.

  9. I really wish I'd taken more photos when I lived in Bratislava in 2005

  10. Me thinks I've been spending too much on the forums lately.

      Been there, done that.

  11. I'm using Macs in my yearbook class and I am stunned at how user unfriendly they are... setting wallpapers just being one such example.

      You can right-click on the mouse. Hold the "Control" key and click on the mouse.

      @peacemak3r: I know, I know. Doesn't mean I can't vent about it, though ;)

       

      @ RTS CNG Command: Didn't know that, thanks! That should make using the computer a bit less problematic.

      I have my Mac set (you can generally due this is settings) so that a two-finger click or tap is the same as right click...I find it a lot smoother than the occasionally broken right side of the PC mouse at work.

  12. Everyone loves retro stuff but the instant they receive old trains they throw a hissy fit... did I miss something here?

      As it is I find that most of the old shit is in Brooklyn. The emerging stereotypical hipsters love them.

    3. peacemak3r

      peacemak3r

      Aren't most of the hipster neighborhoods around R160 lines anyway? Except of course the G.

    4. ttcsubwayfan

      Maybe so, but that doesn't mean they can't travel around ;)

  13. Bratislava is hosting its doors open event at one of its streetcar/bus divisions today... I wish I could go

    1. Around the Horn

      That sounds cool,probably could have done some research on the wheelchair lifts...

    2. ttcsubwayfan

      ttcsubwayfan

      yep - unfortunately I have to wait 2 years to go. Pity, they displayed a cool selection of vehicles, from what was posted on a Slovakian transit forum I go on.

  14. woke up at 6 am today because i have to volunteer at a marathon and then had to bike to my location. thanks, dad

  15. Damn, I've been on this forum a year already? Time flies...

  16. Been sorting photos all day... pretty tiring, actually. I'm kind of surprised.

      Nice to hear. Looking forward to seeing your pics!

      Thanks, although I'm really not happy to be back. I feel quite empty ever since we've returned - a feeling I've become quite familiar with, but I digress. Only thing I'm glad is that I have a house with A/C.

       

      Nevertheless, I have around 330 photos to upload to my gallery (around 80 are from my 2008, the rest from my 2013 one), so we'll see if I get the thread up today or tomorrow.

  18. Slovakia... only place where buses have air conditioning and the driver chooses not to use them! Jesus!

      Lol, yep. Dont know what was the point of installing the damn thing if it is never switched on.

      At least they have air conditioning.

      In Paris very few buses have it, even our newer model.

      The excuse is that it is not environmentally friendly.

      I always keep saying that a bus or train with air conditionning is more environmentally friendly than hundred of cars with air conditionning.

    4. ttcsubwayfan

      ttcsubwayfan

      Im not sure how much weight the argument "at least they have air conditioning" holds, if they never turn it on in the first place. The experience would be the same with or without. In Bratislava, most of our vehicles do not have ac and I felt a lot more comfortable in them than in a coach bus, thanks to every hatch and window being opened.

  19. I hate trying to find a hotel in Bratislava. Theres absolutely nothing to do out here, and the possibility of staying in Bratislava for 2 nights is killed by the uber high prices, so now were stuck here. I think I may lose it...

  20. Went to Bratislava today. Enjoyed the trip, but did not care for the 9 hour round trip I had to make on a coach bus in order to reach my destination. Needless to say, I am pretty sick of coaches at this point. lol.

      Yeah, it was... not the most pleasant journey. Im not one of those people that can fall asleep easily wherever, so I was awake the whole time. Considering I was awoken at like 4 AM, that was not the most pleasant situtation. One journey was 4 and a half hours, the round trip was 9. I wish we had domestic flights from the town Im staying it, but we dont even have an airport.

      Yeah. Ill have to come up with another plan next time I go there, because this journey is killer. Wish I had a car, the trip is a little under 3 hours that way.

  21. Posting from Slovakia

  22. Later today I will be off to Slovakia. I will probably not be active on the forums until I return on August 20th. I will have plenty of photos!

      Ah huh... That explains a lot. I have a colleague who takes off for almost a month each year, but even that is a big deal, so anything over a month is REALLY are here in the States.

  23. I'm still really confused about why people are so excited for the R188s. It's the exact same garbage that's been running on the IRT lines for the past 13 years, why is the fact that it's going to be on Flushing now such a big deal?

      It would be something for them to be excited about, if they understood that sentence... really, all they can understand is "train be slightly less busy."

       

      But what I'm talking about is the railfans - they already see these damn things everywhere.

      Lol it's just the typical obsession with "shiny new equipment," regardless of the fact that the parent design is more than a decade old lol.

      That sounds about right!
