As someone who rides them at least once a day, they are trash. They jerk too much when braking, ride quality is not great, and they’re just not the best built Xcelsiors we have in the fleet tbh.
33rd would have the trains basically go to Queensboro to turn around
Woodside would have trains skip 69th in both directions, plus reduced headways cause of the single tracking for 1-2 stops
From what I’ve heard, the M125 will be out of WF using artics and the Bx35 is going to KB. I get the M125 part because it’s replacing the Bx15 and the Manhattan depots are at capacity rn I think.
It’s a different facility that the Prevost service facility. The HBLR literally passes it lol. There’s also a public walkway behind it for those of who want to go out there. I just don’t know what the nearest station is.
They’re not gonna extend the (R). Why would you make the line longer than it has to be? Also, there’s no in Jamaica that weekend, so there has to be some kind of Manhattan service from Supthin Blvd for the tourists and whatnot
This is supposed to be a temporary change because when the construction is complete at JFK, they’re going to have them go back to the airport at a new permanent bus stop area. They haven’t figured out where yet tho
From what I heard, the plan is to have the M125 be based out of WF and use artics. I believe it’s because they will lose the Bx35, so they want to lose any runs or whatever.
I think the buses that aren’t fully built yet will have less seats, similar to what Greyhound has on their Prevosts. They will take out a row of seats or something like that.
I’ve heard when the redesign starts, the Bx35 is supposed to go to Kingsbridge and the M125 is supposed to be out of West Farms. Don’t quote me on it tho, just what I’ve heard through the grapevine.
