Rumor is that it was vandalism 

You should know when Holiday, special occasions and newbies come, you’re gonna get “conquestors” on these trips. Their task is this: vandalize to ruin service by causing delays. 

They say that the 30 testing for R211Ts will come on late 2023. You can’t always go with what is say. Problems may occur along the way and everything gets push back a month at 2

Apparently the R1/9's got taken out of service because of vandalism or brake issues...can't get verification as to which one.

You have to know which one since you was on that train

This is a Times Square bound Zero train. The next & last stop is Times Square. Stand clear of the closing doors!

As of November 27th (the last time I observed the A line)

1. 4060-4069 (Pilot Set)

2. 4130-4139

3. 4110-4114+4129-4125 (First Production Set to return)

4. 4100-4104+4120-4124 (Second Production Set to return)

Have not observed any new sets burn-in testing.

While I am unable to confirm the status of the R-211T it seems quite implicative that it will run in service very soon. I was told that this month was when it was supposed to debut but so far there is no further word and the month is almost over. 

It’ll probably be your Christmas present

So, ig they take em to CIY to get their issues fixed...got it. This set might be next in line for service

CI should have inspected the gear boxes WAAAAY before sending the R211s over to Pitkin Yard for training and revenue operations. If not then they wouldn’t have this problem right now. The only problem I see in today’s era is human errors. (Stop looking at your phone when in class. Your safety is more important than your electronic device).

 Astoria - CI:  Broadway/4 Av Exp via Sea Beach

 71 Av - 95 St:  QBL Lcl via 60th - Broadway/4 Av Exp stopping at 45 and 53 Sts via vanshookenragen’s  proposed switches.   would go via Manhattan Bridge.

 96 St/2 Av - CI: Broadway/4 Av Lcl via Montague St/West End 

In here Queens Bound trains go Broadway Express, 2 Av Trains via Broadway Local. This can be done via 57 St/7 Av Flip. Queens needs more Manhattan/Brooklyn Express service. That’s coming from one who dwells in Queens.

 71 Av - Brighton Beach: QBL Lcl via 63rd - 6 Av/Brighton Exp

 

If you haven’t noticed; 4 Av now has full coverage.

 

And please explain how am I wasting money having 2  trains branch out north? Doesn’t the  do that in Queens? Doesn’t the  do that in The Bronx ?

The  is one way during peak hours for trains heading directly to the 239th St Yard. And there are only 5 trips up WPR. The  during the peak hour is more frequent than the . So that’s why they had that since the 1960s. 
 

the  is actually 2 train lines of old. The  was actually the Rockaways Line, and it still is.

In other words 50 St becomes an express stop?

 

So it wouldn’t be possible to run  together via 8 Av/ Fulton St Exp, with  to Lefferts and  to Rockaways? Not even have  go 8 Av Exp with  to Lefferts or Rockaways via Fulton St Exp and  to Euclid via Fulton St Lcl?

 

I assume both in either proposal would have to exceed 26 TPH… I can see  15 TPH  15 TPH, a total of 30 TPH…

Not quite,  would go to 205, absorbing the  ,  would become the current  uptown-wise. Regarding CPW-Broadway connection… well then if it can’t be done; can we add more  trains? Thus CPW would go as follows; 

 unchanged

 205 -CI: Concourse/CPW/6 Av Exp - Brighton Lcl

 BPB/168 - WTC: All local (24 TPH - 10 going to 168 14 to the Bronx)

 Discontinued

If you’re gonna discontinue the , what line are you’re gonna run on the 4th Ave line? That’s something you gotta think about. You can’t have 2 s operating from 2 different branches. You’re wasting money by doing that.

I forgot about that.` The ones transferred to CHS never got re-labeled. I'm not sure they ever tracked with Charleston on MyMTA or TransSee.

The latter one. MyMTA didn’t have that system until 2014, but I do believe other transit apps had dem for a while. 

No more (D40LFs) 8000s in Frontier, the 82xx & 83xx in Frontier are being replaced as well by the NFXDE40s with BAEs. Plus they got 5 XDEs from Comly and 5 from Midvale.

Not my photo, credit to EON (emperorofnyc)

Apparently, this happened the whole route along with doors trying to open on the wrong side at every stop, too. 

I hope for gods sake that nobody’s playing with the doors.

Let's also not forget the R143 strip maps changing from only the  route and stations to including that along with the / route and stations.

They were also used on the OPTO  Route as well from 2001-2007 until the first R160As were assigned to the  &  line

Finally, all though the mta should’ve studied such features years before the 211’s entered service, it’s kinda too late to introduce such feature “Again” 

They can still do that at any time they wish. They can even do that on older NTTs. When R142s 6301-7080 was assigned to the  & , they had separated strip maps. Now 6301-7130 have the combined  &  strip maps. On the R160s they introduced electronic ads and yellow poles. Now ALL NTT cars have them. R(142A) 188s introduced ⭕️ and ♦️ in green & red, matching those on the R62As. They’re found in cars 7501-7505+7506-(7927)-7510

Update: No 8000s in Southern

3613-3619 delivered to Frontier

there’s a video on YouTube showing a bunch of kids playing around with the lights on an R46, Normal passengers can’t even enjoy a peaceful ride

 

To elaborate on this, this video was shown to the police by someone in transit. These conquestors (I don’t call them kids) love to disrupt service. The same dude at the end was the one who vandalized the R46 Broadway line.

4060/69 never stopped running, so you could have just as easily heard that.

Smoky conditions which is a track fire.

It's said that ridership is at pre-pandemic level, but the respect to others hasn't changed. For now, there's courtesy campaigns on their digital ads. 

I need better results from 2, 4, 7 or 11. These ppl on channel 5 act like “L & O” but this isn’t China or Russia. They can’t control 8,000,000 ppl in NYC and 1/2 take public transportation.

A good portion of their signals are brand new... as in less than 5 years old

And their signal lights are CBTC ready unless they have that yellow sign blockage at the end of each station for CBTC/ATO warnings

I definitely agree, the A and F need the R211T's

The  once the Culver line becomes CBTC, and IF you can get good views of it. Cause in a few years, subway elevated viewing will only be seen by drones

the  , consider that done!

So the r211 issue was resolved?

 yes

 testing on lines does not mean that the car is gonna see revenue service on that particular line. 
after what happened to the R46s on the Broadway line being vandalized a few weeks ago, they’re not putting newer cars until they see fit
