  1. The shuttle is 1:08PM. It operates on Friday's only. But there is also a 6:17 AM shuttle that operates from Penn Station to Jamaica everyday making a stop at Woodside. The 1:08PM Friday only shuttle operates non stop express to Jamaica.
  2. Does the 4:17, 5:51, 6:41 train to Oyster Bay from Jamaica deadhead back not in service, because I am wondering why can't the LIRR use those trains as passenger service heading back to Jamaica from Oyster Bay. There's a gap in service from Oyster Bay to Jamaica, 4:42, 6:04, 8:28, 9:38 evening service. This is Weekday Schedule.
  3. With the New LIRR schedule in effect today, there are Long Beach Express trains originating from Grand Central making stops at Forest Hills, Jamaica, Lynbrook, and then Long Beach. But the train time app doesn't reflect this.
  4. I wonder what's the reason for adding a shuttle service in the new schedule starting 5/22 on Friday's only between Penn Station and Jamaica.
  5. What is the Purpose of the LIRR having West Hempstead Branch service. It seems like a wasteful service. There barely be any people using those trains. The train doesn't even stop at Valley Stream. They should just cut service on that line and use the service for somewhere else. And besides you got the nearby Hempstead train station.
  6. that seems cold. What I mean by cold I meant selfish.

  8. Also why is LIRR service horrible serving SE queens stations during off peak hours coming every hour.
  9. why don't most LIRR Diesel trains run to Penn station. Like for example, why can't OYSTER BAY trains run all the way to Penn Station, instead of terminating at Jamaica.
  10. Ok so most Montauk branch diesel trains operate via the main line and central branch. But sometimes it operates via the Babylon Branch. Is there a way to know if the train your on will past by Babylon Stations or nah.
  11. How often do the M3 train cars run in service. Is there an easier timeframe to catch one or is it just pure luck.
  12. No. That was the right decision. The federal mask mandate had control over local jurisdictions in which the CDC had no authority.
  13. this was way long over due. The governor keeping the mask mandate for public transit after the CDC mandate was struck down by a Florida judge had nothing to do with public health. It was a political move. The governor should of lifted the mask mandate right after the CDC mandate was struck down by a court order. I feel like the governor was using the mask mandate as a form of abuse and power and gaining control.
  14. So the R32's are not running no more in passenger service as of this week? They won't go back to the lines.!!
  15. So it's likely that the r32 set will be running during the day time as well not just rush hours during the weekdays.
  16. So is it likely that a r32 set will be running tomorrow on the ?
  17. The R179's are good cars. They don't need to be gone. I have trust in the MTA. I understand the issues that they encountered, but i have faith that they would be reliable once they go through this carefully examination and analysis of the cars.
  18. I don't know how the MTA can make service on the without bringing back the R32's and maybe few R42's- depending on if they stripped some parts already. I know the R32's are in storage in the yards, same thing as the r42's. I understand the union's reason for not bringing them out in service. But when the and return to full service to some point in time, then the R32's would have to at least run in service if the r179's are not ready to return in service yet. You can't run just the r46's on the alone, it won't be enough. I have a feeling more r160's might transfer over to the line.
  19. I think the r32 final retirement run will be on the because of easy access to the yards and two wouldn't the NYC transit Museum prep the train up for its final run like it did with the r42s, like the train was shiny and clean before beginning it's final run. And also the transit museum has an right of way track connection that leads to the line in which the train can travel along the line and start it's trip at Euclid av. But I think the train can be another option.
  20. URGENT REPAIRS Mar 27 - 30, Fri 11:30 PM to Mon 5 AM Free shuttle buses replace trains at 148 St, 145 St, 135 St, 125 St, 116 St, and 110 St trains run between 241 St and 149 St-Grand Concourse and via the * (express) to/from Atlantic Av-Barclays Ctr, then resume service to/from Flatbush Av. trains run all weekend between New Lots Av and 96 St (express in Manhattan), and via the to/from 137 St.
  21. ELECTRICAL IMPROVEMENTS Apr 6 - 10, Mon to Fri, from 11:30 PM to 5 AM No trains between 71 Av and Jamaica Center or Jamaica-179 St ELECTRICAL IMPROVEMENTS Apr 6 - 10, Mon to Fri, from 11:30 PM to 12:30 AM Service between Queens Plaza and 71 Av in Queens is replaced by and trains
  22. They are not going to make the M train to 96 street permanent. After the L project is over, the M will return to it's normal weekend service pattern running between Metropolitan Av and Essex Street. And besides, they probably want to do work along the 6th av line. Remember the MTA is moving forward with modernized signals. The reason the M runs to 96th street on weekends is to provide an alternative with the L project occurring.
  23. TUNNEL REHABILITATION Mar 20 - 23, Fri 11 PM to Mon 5 AM Service between Broadway Junction, Brooklyn and 8 Av, Manhattan is replaced by the M14 and free shuttle buses
  24. There are shuttle buses, only for the between Queens Plaza and Court Sq. But it is only one stop and I think that is useless.
  25. So I am guessing the would use the 145th st program to 168th st along the line or unless they have a 168th st program already installed on the r160s
