What was the passenger load like?

Right on time, per schedule.

Yes, there was nothing particularly notable at E. 33rd. St, as opposed to Herald Sq., Penn Station on the west side.

They're all slower than the others.

Apple Maps, BTW, has the LIRR.

That's weird. Anyway, contact Google.

Don't write to us. Write to the MTA! Even better, ask the school admin to contact the MTA.

If I read the chart above right, each of the 4 and 5 is losing ONE interval a day.

7, B, L and W get hammered.

It's amazing how many potentially worthwhile improvements were left out of the that plan.

1. While it's not far from the New Lots stop to Linden, it is no closer than from the Van Siclen stop to New Lots. A station could be built between Linden and Stanley Avenue to the south, allowing connections from the Linden buses and walk-in traffic from the developments south of there. It would also be very convenient to the housing developments due west of there. 2. Not sure why takings would be necessary. An el could be built over Elton Ave. which abuts the yard, straight south into the Gateway Mall. From there, it could swing west through the parking lots (yes, I guess compensation would need to be negotiated with the mall owner), and then over the creek to Spring Creek, terminating at Van Siclen Ave.

Never mind extending the New Lots Line to Linden. It should be extended to Starrett City/Spring Creek to serve that development as well as the shopping mall.

Mr. Bugatti - they are eliminating southbound BxM1 and 2 service after 4 pm weekdays. So now, strictly a commuter service. Want to go out at night, Riverdale? Screw you!

Lost and found is your best option. I suppose you could board the same train again and ask a crew member if they saw it.

They could avoid waivers and maintenance issues by using Heavy Rail - connecting the new service to the existing SIR.

Will the restoration of the former rail ROW be done in a way that allows for future rail repurposing?

Photos?

Sorry, I looked at the Saturday timetable.

They're scheduled at 8:12 and 8:32. Looks like the first one left 5 minutes early for some reason.

I don't think we should be obsessing about the express F being held just before entering Stillwell terminal, if it's on-time until that point. It still saves time as per schedule for every stop on the line EXCEPT Stillwell. Very few people are left on the train by that point, I suspect, and they're the ones who have the most choice of alternative routes.

What were the passenger loads like on the 2 expresses you took?

You missed the money quotes at the end of the document - admitting the F express is only a pilot that will be reevaluated in a a few weeks(!) or months depending on ridership.
