IMO, I am starting to wonder what is the point of the weekend and scheduled to come every 6 minutes on paper when constant GOs forces them to run every 8 minutes in reality.

Ngl, I honestly didn’t thought nothing of this being related to that C/R getting assaulted earlier this morning until @RTOMan and @Lawrence St thankfully brought it up. Damn, I feel foolish…

Yeah it happened at Rockaway Avenue on the (this was during its overnight schedule).

Thank you so much, RTOMan. And yes, I heard about that incident earlier this morning. It seems so far as of now, every heading southbound is going to Lefferts instead of Far Rockaway.

Part Suspended trains are severely disrupted in both directions. Avoid these lines and take or local buses instead. What's Happening? We're running as much service as we can with the train crews we have available. Posted: 02/29/2024 09:25 AM

I’m so happy that almost all of the R68s and R68As have gotten the LED lights. Now, I hope the leftover R62As on the and would get them. I also hope all of the R62s on the get them as well. I know it’ll all take a while. I still kinda wish LED in general was a thing from jump though. LED is just so much better.

I’m only agreeing about the and it has nothing to do with ridership. It’s only to prevent a three way swap if the R160s from Jamaica were to leave (this is also the real reason why the R62As from the went to the instead of the ). Everything else I’m not going to agree with but that’s for another thread.

Neither the nor the need R211s either… 🙄

Forget him. He’s always saying stuff without thinking critically and logically. Anyways, I agree that the weekend should run to Forest Hills, not 145th. But then you also got other individuals proposing to have the run to Forest Hills on weekends, and it’s a whole bunch of back and fourth if one side does not see eye to eye with the other. But hey.

Central Park is closed overnights and almost everyone on the are heading to/from the Bronx anyways. The overnights has to run local on Broadway above Canal St just in case anyone who is coming home from work or vice-versa need Brighton or 2 Av service. The overnights will likely revert back to running express on Queens Blvd when all the CBTC project on said line is over and done with at long last.

Thank you guys for the clearing up why the roles of southbound s and s in Manhattan are completely reversed.

The service alerts are also saying that southbound s are express from TSQ to Chambers, while southbound s are local in that same stretch. I’m guessing it’s to give the downtown local customers a direct one-seat ride to Brooklyn?

R46s are still running on the . Just now saw one leaving Broad Channel southbound and another at the relay while on the heading northbound. I also saw an R179 on the earlier while on the to Far Rockaway. Sorry if this was already brought up btw.

So? The is basically a short-turn making local stops while the full regular one runs express. If you rode the at night, then basically you rode the . Like the above poster said, both routes run alongside together or on the same tracks together in both Manhattan and Brooklyn. There isn’t anything wrong with treating them like a combined entity.
