Like saying the M42 gets delayed due to heavy traffic in Times Square.....

That sounds nice. But what about the IRT since numbers don't really give us much to do?

Well the R42s are going first so we have some time. And yes maybe it would be wise to keep some R32s untill the R211s at this point, even if the R32s would operate for emergencies only in 2019.

Service Change Posted: 12/01/2014 4:43PM Due to signal problems at Atlantic Av-Barclays Ctr, northbound and trains are running local from 36 St (Bklyn) to Atlantic Av-Barclays Ctr. Allow additional travel time. Question: Can the shift from express to local at 36 Street?

I believe it did, especially when it was a rush hour only route in the 1980's. In fact, the was used for concourse service before the .

: Rerouted on the Brighton line. A special runs between 9 Avenue and Coney Island. : Either no service north of 8 Avenue or All stops via the Montague Street tunnel and replaces the via Brighton along with the special Sea Beach shuttle that was mentioned earlier. : No service Between Whitehall Street and Brooklyn. : Either suspended or extended to Ditmars Blvd making all stops via the Montague Street tunnel at all times, replacing the to Astoria, No service between Jackson Heights and Forest Hills on the .

Not both. They use the or Q70 to transfer to the or .

I think Jackson Heights because of the connection to the Q70 and .

It was terrible back then so it makes sense......

I need to catch the nostalgia train next weekend..... forgot it starts today...

Not just the suspension, but can't the run express between Jay Street and 4 Avenue?

Simple: no service between Flushing and Mets-Willets Point. Shuttle buses in the suspended area.

These guys are way beyond retirement. Even the R32s and R42s that survived can't really be used for extra service.

If it was an absolute emergency like a derailment, then they might use it. If it's just delays, then no.

I know but I don't see the eagle team on all SBS vehicles. If parts of the team were assigned to a specific SBS unit, there might be a cut on fare beaters.

The reason the Bx28 split into the Bx38 partly is because of the money the always struggle to make.

Lol twice ain't good enough. There should be at least 2-3 worker on the bus at all times to prevent this problem.

Actually, you could google it. Maybe not searching the bus route itself, but whenever I want to look for route history in NYC, I google search " (name of borough here) bus route history".

Whenever I transfer to the or using this transfer, it takes another fare away from my metrocard. So they should make the transfer in fare control.

I didn't think the and are at maximum capacity. I doubt this would work, but what if the ran less frequently weekdays since we could use the and for the stations used by the ?

I knew it was RTS, just not the kind that was retired.

I guess. That't why the (Y) runs every 10 Minutes. They would share tracks between 36 Street and Forest Hills, and the (Y) would make all express stops to 179 Street while the and go on their respective routes. I don't see why U and Y are more confusing than X and P. X is more or less a place holder for a subway line under construction and P is not used because......... well you get the idea.

Most likely because the D60s came in after the TMC RTS retired.

Oops. I forgot to say that after Grand Street, the (U) would use the abandoned Nassau Street Bridge tracks to get to Chambers Street. After Chambers Street, it will run on the to Bay Parkway. In order to not duplicate service and not overcrowd the BMT Nassau Street line, the and end at Chambers Street and the is cut to Broad Street.

Most of the R188s are actually converted R142As that are taken from the and put on the .
