I think he had two typos in his comment..let’s wait and see what’s built and being built.

Is 4950-4964 assigned out of MJQ? If so, why do I keep seeing units pop up on the Bx9?

There’s two XE60s in KB. It’s been like that for at least a half year.

The station will get a renovation, especially since the Futbol Stadium will be there before the World Cup (allegedly).

Are they ever going to restore full service on the Bx20 to midday service?

Unless if they make the Bx7 limited south of 231st, then the Bx20 won’t be full time.

6:47 PM. It’s suggested to get to the terminal before that time to see if it runs or not. 

That train hasn’t been running for weeks from what I heard. Think it’s already replaced by a 46/211.

Rush hour  trains operate to Rock Park. The R179s are going nowhere 

The 8 car ones can go to Jamaica for the . I doubt it though.

What are the next 10 routes to go fare free?

4135-39 are coupled with 4140-44. I told you there'd be some switch ups.

4185-89 were testing at Broad Channel.

4080-89, 4105-09, 4160-64 & 4180-84 on stand-by.

4150-59 continue burn-ins, expected to start by next week. We'll see.....

All else are active on the rails.

So about 15, soon to be 19-20 sets?

How many sets we got in service?

They also released the metadata for the trip planner so you can see what scheduled bus runs have been cut.

How’s that accessible?

Safe to say that 4749 is done for a while.

The Yardmaster assigns the cars .  There are 3 eight hour shifts for yardmasters daily, Plus since transit  a 24/7 business, there are many different yardmasters in the course of a week.   

Finally, the Division of Car Equipment makes the cars available because of maintenance requirements.  Therefore whatever is available and released by CED (R46/R179) the yardmaster will assign.  Bad performers or good performers are kept tracked of by CED, not the RTO Yardmaster. 

I’d love to be a yard master. Lol

How long are the 2011 C40s tank good for?

I’m on the R211T right now ( approaching uptown platform at 59th St-CC ) , this is my second ride and I gotta say, I really like the soft shell better, it gives the train a more spacious feel. All the updated features on the T are really cool , very nice fast smooth ride and it looks so incredible seeing through the train as it curves swerves and descends.

What’s the new features besides the gangway?

I think regardless, Jamaica is getting more cars - (expanded  train length or frequency boosts for the ). Would make sense for the R179s to go to the  for this purpose, and have all 8-car 179s to the  and finally make sure ENY has enough NTT cars for the foreseeable future until the R143 replacements.

So the A/C will be full 211 in this situation?

With all of the R211s available right now, 11 sets of R211a and 2 sets of R211T, some still undergoing testing, they probably don't need the AA sets.  I'd be surprised if they don't start moving the R46s around to storage until they are finally retired.  There isn't infinite space at Pitkin.  It will still be a long time until cars start shifting around other than R211s replacing R46s on the A and C.

They also use the back of Concourse to store cars, I saw a full set or two a couple weeks ago, but it could be gone.

Hydrogen order is still heading to GH right?

Uh..so Presidents’ Day weekend, they’re shutting the  down between 116th Street and Dyckman. Anyone care to see what’s wrong with that sentence?

1501 is OOS for the time being, got into an accident with 3 other cars.

I don’t think all were bad on my side of BK. I think the B40 is a good idea for people in the Bergen Beach side, but it would be great if it went downtown. Then you have the B5 which I feel is just an overlap of the B6. I think if they’re gonna have the B5 go to the gateway it should be the B6 ltd and have the local terminate at Rockaway parkway. 

Didn’t say the routes were bad particularly, the descriptions of the routes itself, they improved on it in the QBR (with showing overnight frequencies).

Has there been any updates on the Brooklyn design yet? 

Nah, I’d say probably wait until a random press release or something. Hopefully it’ll be this quarter, the map and the service descriptions for the routes were all (in my opinion) bad.

Try putting an artic on the narrow streets of Bayswater. At most you could only get 40-footers in there. So only the Q22 would work. Unless a new Q116 is created going from Mott Ave-Sheepshead Bay via. Bayswater with the following limited stops:

Far Rockaway LIRR
Far Rockaway 

Mott Ave/McBride Street

Mott Ave/Eggert Place

Mott Ave/Bay 24th Street

Bayswater Ave/Bay 25th Street

Bayswater Ave/Bay Park Place

Bayswater Ave/Norton Drive

Norton Drive/Cold Spring Road

Norton Drive/Healy Avenue

Bay 32nd Street/Bessemund Avenue

Bay 32nd Street/Falcon Ave

Bay 32nd Street/Beach Channel Drive

Beach 36th St 

Beach 44th St 

Beach 60th St 

Beach 67th St 

Beach 79th St/Rockaway Beach Blvd

Beach 84th St/Rockaway Beach Blvd

Beach 90th St

Beach 98th St

Rockaway Ferry

Beach 116th St

Newport Ave/Beach 129th St

Riis Park

Beach 169th St

Floyd Bennet Field (Aviator)

Shore Pkwy/Knapp Street

Shore Pkwy/Nostrand Ave

Shore Pkwy/Bedford Ave

Shore Pkwy/Ocean Ave

Sheepshead Bay 

Here we go with the sheepshead bay bs…

How about this for an answer?

NO.

I got a couple of questions that people can answer if they like:

Would an extension/combination of the Q47/49 be feasible?

How about the Q33 via 69th Street to Middle Village?

Can the Q72 replaces the southern portion of the Q29 (below Woodhaven)?

Would combining the Q104 and the northern section of the B53 be too much?

Just some extensions I put in the simulator, to “save resources” like the MTA does. 

I’m hearing that train service will be resumed at 4, but with the pictures I saw, a pillar and a wall is gonna have to be fixed too.

The word going around is that an uptown  collided with a work train in front of it at 96th.

https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/subway-derailment-manhattan-upper-west-side/5006930/

Supposedly it was 2 trains.
