  1. Yeah it’s an express, it’s even labeled as such on the signage. There are discrepancies however between how the county prints the timetables and how they’re actually supposed to be operated. IIRC, that 26th St stop was discontinued by like five years ago and the county still has it listed as a stop.
  2. Aren’t the end doors on the R44 SIROTA fleet suppose to be unlocked?
  3. As far as I know both of them are express?
  4. The problem with running the to 57th or even 96th is the constant switching and bottle necking. I’d rather just send the to 145th for minimal impact to operations.
  5. Why don’t you just straight out say it, this isn’t wheel of fortune…
  6. I fully support an extension but want it to 145th St & CPW on weekends to help out the .
  7. I don’t think you guys understand that FRA laws and rules play a big part in how they run shuttle train service to/from Meadowlands.
  8. I’d like to know who built this Meadowlands rail line and didn’t think of the fact that you can’t run it direct from NYP?
  9. Where did you see me mention anything about light rail in my paragraph?
  10. For as often as the mainline SIR runs, I see no issue why the North Shore can’t also run the same frequency and have no problem with storage space.
  11. Lack of yard space? What??? Clifton is right down the road and you have all of the unused platform space at St. George for more storage.
  12. Sorry, I’m against this. Most of the infrastructure is STILL there for HEAVY duty transit. Why waste all this money for bus conversion when you can just rehab the stations still standing and build new ones that got torn down?
  13. Uh, when was the shared with the ? If that was the case, those test R68 units with the signs should’ve popped up on the .
  14. Question, why do I keep seeing random buses with flashing clearance lights?
  15. Was it because of the heat from the R211T debacle?
  16. Nope, the out of service pair is at Highbridge. The parts pair is at Brewster behind the fire tank car.
  17. They scrapped one, parted out one, ones been long term out of service for the last year, and there’s two others that are mismatched with each other.
  18. This may sound like a dumb question, but isn’t there a switch that closes the open gangway’s with a curtain or something? I thought I saw that somewhere in YouTube.
  19. Hudson Rail Link will receive OMNY readers tomorrow apparently.
  20. NJT is going to have to auction off some of these MCI’s. There’s just to many that are sitting or collecting dust.
  21. I wouldn’t rely on that this early. The outage between 125th St & Hunts Point still shows detailed G.O information for when the is split in two at 125th St.
  22. Valid arguments. 1. Absolutely not to having the be 4th Av local at all times. The line is already as long as it is, and there needs to be some type of Broadway express service from 4th Av. 2. I agree with your Queens Blvd proposal. I would however run the at a special odd frequency since headways won't be even along QBL otherwise, which is why I also proposed it running to 179th St. 3. If your going to run the on weekends then there's no point in having the run there as well. Either run the to 2nd or run the to 145th St. 4. On the topic of the , if there's any room to add in more trains by ending them at 2nd Av, I would also propose that. 5. On the topic of the , I weirdly propose attempting a skip-stop program on it to see if it actually balances ridership west of Myrtle Av.
