  1. Like he said, the (B) would be suspended and replaced with some extra  :Q: service.

    What about express service in Brighton? What about CPW service? This means  (A) will have to run local to take  (B).

     

    Like I said in entire discussion have the  (Q) run via Montague St Broadway LCL with  (N)  (R) . Then after TSQ 42 St diverge over to Express tracks.  :Q: is sharing tracks with (B)(D) from Dekalb Av- 47-50 Sts. That's too much service. 

  2. No one here is insulting anyone, nor is there abusing going around.

     

    ...trust me

    I'm irritated by the fact my older accounts Train Fanatic 12 & I love trains99 was blocked for no apparent reason. My Train Fanatic 12 account was slandered to the point you destroyed it for no reason. Some users on here are rude. I will say something about it. I apologize for coming at you disrespectfully.  

  3. The Weekender site has the next weekends service changes as early as that Thursday. The "Good Service" indicator is for service at that time not upcoming times. The Weekender site did list the (L) closure (I have the app and was checking it)

    The weekender said Friday night that (2) were running to Rector St and (3) was going to 14 St. Clark St tube was getting work done on. Also  (4)  (5) were stopping at Bowling Green.  (E) were running via  (F) on 6 Av. There was no  (D) in Brooklyn. The  (L) didn't have any plans. 

  4. They have informed the public [emoji848]

    No they haven't on some cases. Last week for example. I had to take the (L) into the city and there was no service after Myrtle-Wykoff. Friday night when I went on MTA.com it said that  (L) had good service and there was no plans. Next Morning now all of sudden there's construction plans. What's sup with that?

  5. GOs are mainly reroutes or suspensions for construction purposes. This particular one was part of the "Fix and Fortify" program, which, in the future, will prevent another Hurricane Sandy situation with the flooded tunnels and such.

    Then why don't the MTA say that construction is going on instead of randomly cutting service without informing the public.

  6. Don't you think sending the :Q: down 6 Av would cause a burden for traffic controllers? I mean you going see delays at Dekalb Av and then traffic controllers have to deal with (F)(M). How this would look like (B)(D)(F)(M):Q:

    :Q: would be sharing tracks with (B)(D) this means that Brighton line can be affected. Besides there's too much routes ranning on one line.

  7. Why not? (Q) via Manhattan Bridge, 6 Avenue express, to 96 Street. 47-50 Streets–Rockefeller Center has the necessary switches to make this possible. The (B) is expendable (as shown by how quickly the MTA shuts it down when problems come up), so more frequent (Q) trains can replace the (B).

    Don't you think sending the :Q: down 6 Av would cause a burden for traffic controllers? I mean you going see delays at Dekalb Av and then traffic controllers have to deal with (F)(M). How this would look like (B)(D)(F)(M):Q:

  8. Did you honestly expect something different when the majority of the cars are simply upgraded versions of the 142As?

    Hell yeah. Look at the R143 and R160. The MTA had some upgrades on R160 such as FIND system, Brighter interior, Dead-man handle, Metal plates around the window edges (in interior) to prevent vandalism, and glass not being able to be scratched. The cab corners is made of metal and not plastic. The R188 (fresh built sets) has same traction motors as R142A. It holds on to that old technology such as strip maps. It so very unoriginal not creative. 

  9. I'm not sure if I understand your question. Do you mean what would've happened if the (W) bullet was already in use in 2001 or if the bullet wasn't already on the trains' sign curtains? Either way, the MTA had no intention of reverting back to split (B) and (D) service for the final leg of the Manhattan Bridge construction work. Answering your question, I think, the MTA decided to go with the (W) as the Broadway-West End route because it was already available all of the B-Division trains, even if they did have to replace the sign curtains anyway because the (W) bullet was a diamond only at the time. If it was not available on the then-current signs, the MTA may have revived the T-Broadway/West End Express designation, which was eliminated in '67.

    Then why would the MTA put in the 20px-B_Train_-_Yellow_%281986-1988%29.sv20px-D_Train_%281986-1988%29.svg.png in the first place? Why didn't they change the <W> bullet into  (W) then? Why wasn't there  (Q) acting as Brighton Lcl for  (D) while 20px-NYCS-bull-trans-Qd.svg.png could acted for  (Q) as Brighton Exp? If the MTA knew that the  (B)  (D) route split would be confusing why would they try it in first place? I was asking what if there was no extra letter (no <W> or (W)) for West End line service during North Side closure from 1986-1988?

  10. When the (E) and (F) share tracks with the (R) due to construction work, there are often delays. Adding the (G) or (M) to this would just add to the delays.

    How? If that's the case then MTA could extend the  (R) to 179 with  (F) and  (G) with the  (E) to Jamaica Center.   (M) could go with the  (E) as well. 

     

    What if the MTA didn't have  (W) bullet back in 2001? Would the MTA turn back to 1986 20px-B_Train_-_Yellow_%281986-1988%29.sv bullet?

  11. When the  (Q) replaced   (R)  in Queens Blvd after 9/11 until Oct 28, 2001 how long did the  (Q) use R46? And if you rode the R46 on  (Q) along Brighton can you describe the experience? How many R46 sets were in service for the  (Q) at that time? Is there any more photos of R46 on  (Q) besides this one?

  12. The (1) used about half of the (3) line's fleet since the (3) was cut back to 14 Street for the duration of the cleanup at the World Trade Center. For a better idea of what cars ran on which line at the time, check out this car assignments list I've compiled, specifically the entries for July 2001 - Sept. 2002.

     

     

    What about the  (2)? Most of it's redbird were reefed and some R142 were in service while most were in delivery still. Im asking did the  (2) have any time waiting issues after 9/11? You answered first half of my question. The link you sent me requires me to log in and download the PDF :angry: . So can you try to summarize under your best ability please? :)

  13. The R38s had to be desperately retired because of thier conditions(I've been in public toilets cleaner than thier interiors) so they were out. The R40s should of been kept I'd rather them here than the R42s but what's done is done we have to play what the hand we have.

    R40s rusted and ended worst then R38's. 

    Equipment and money. Not only does it reduce the number of crews required, but this was a few months after the retirement of the R44s was announced. Since a bunch of R32s/42s and all 38s/40s were already gone, there are now fewer 600' train equivalents in the system. This is part of why the (C) is still 8 cars - not enough cars for everything to have full-length trains.

    So you saying the  (G) was cut back from Queens Blvd due to R44 being retired and Most of R46 equipment going to 207 St yard for  (A) ? Even with the R68/R68A do you think the  (G) still has a chance to be extended? Will the extension compromise some cars from  (B)  (D) at Coney Island Yard?
