    Tell that to the E crew who took a train full of passengers into the Continental Relay last week because they weren’t paying attention…

    under normal circumstances, taking the wrong lineup, of which punching wrong is a subset of, the conductor is required to pull the cord at the next station as per rule. You punch for 8th when you’re supposed to be going down 6th, that’s a CHOW! the moment you get to spring street and stop. 

     

    the only exception is taking a local lineup when you’re supposed to be on the express. Express on the local is express unless told otherwise. I personally prefer to be told directly ether way, but that’s just me…

    Oh dear...Im guessing there was some sort of suspension for that...I hope. Sounds like a major mess up. Whats a "CHOW"?

    Let's clear this up quickly. The Train Operator initiates the punch and route selection not the Conductor. If I'm understanding your question correctly a northbound (C) train leaving Lafayette Avenue only has one option and that's crossing over to the express track to enter Hoyt-Schermerhorn. Although I'm an IRT man I can assure you that any n/b train leaving Lafayette Avenue will make that move. The switch is probably blocked and clamped to block any moves into the n/b local track  on the path to the Transit Museum. Hope I didn't miss anything.  Carry on

    Thanks for clearing that up. Im still trying to find that post on Reddit. But in general, what happens if the operator does a wrong punch?

  3. Im curious to know, what actions would happen if the train conductors chose the wrong punch. I saw something similar on Reddit, but I lost the post. For example, if you're operating the C train, but you forgot to punch in after Lafayette to go on the express tracks and end up stopping at the wrong platform, what would be the proper protocol for such a action, also how rare is it to see a wrong punch?
