It won't.

This does however leave the question if the R42's are going to come back out of retirement (for the 2nd time) to make service on the and . Without the R179's the can't run at full service, and going by the door issue a few months ago, the R179's won't return to service for a while until each set is inspected.

We don’t know if the R42s will be out of retirement to serve the  and  lines while the R179s are pulled out is service, We don’t know if the R32s will serve then as well, They can just send some R143s from the  line and to serve the  And  lines like before when the R179 was pulled out because of door problems

Who knows, we don’t know if the:

-R42 out of retirement again to serve it.

-R32s is gonna be running on the BMT Nassau Street, and Jamaica Lines once again

-Or some fleets from the  line will just serve the line.

Who knows, Maybe one of the Three Options I wrote will happen.

A 3 Avenue alignment would be pretty interesting as it connects with these stations more directly (no overly long passageways) which is vastly better than what the 2 Avenue alignment can do:

• 63 Street ()
• 59 Street ()
• 53 Street ()
• Grand Central–42 Street ()
• 14 Street ()
• Delancey Street ()

It does miss 2 stations though:

• 2 Avenue ()
• Grand Street ()

From Chinatown and down, it has the same limitation as the 2 Avenue alignment—avoiding all the Lower Manhattan connections. So, by necessity it needs to connect to South Ferry/Whitehall Street which is not in the current 2 Avenue plans.

The  train run via Third Avenue can be interesting but it can run Via Lexington Avenue In some stops but let it run to Grand Central to 14th street can be a good choice to do. So many transfers can be good for the people

Can you please use grammar that makes sense?

My understanding is the R160A-1s are all in ENYY.  Some were at 207th for the  starting in 2013, but they were returned to ENYY as the R179's entered service.

My questions are why do R143's sometimes run on the , and why haven't R179's run on the ?  Now the  needs a dedicated fleet compatible with QBL CBTC, but that wasn't the case before.

Sorry for My Grammar mistakes.

The R143s running on the  Line Was from the  fleet, It can happen if the R143s In the Canarsie Yard goes to the East New York Yard Or It can just go to broadway junction and go to the  platform and become a  or  Train I think. And the  train having R179s I don’t know about that. But the R179 Delivery was short and I don’t know it’s gonna keep delivering more R179 cars. And the R179s are only for the  and  lines.

There is no train service in both directions between Manhattan and Queens while we investigate the source of smoke in the under river tunnel. All Manhattan-bound trains will end at Hunters Point Av.

 

Transfer at Queensboro plaza or Court Square.

Does the  have the own fleet because I know the R143 is for the  and majority of the R160 is for the  so does the  takes whatever left from the  and uses the R179 ??

They used the R160A-1s from ENYY And from the  Line I think (They used R160A-1s before.) and the the R143s came from the  to be put in service and the  cannot take whatever from the  so they can use R179s like think about that for a second.

Sort of a side note, but I've always wondered why the R142s and R160s with Alstom propulsion sound quite similar, yet each have distinct differences? Is it just a difference in time between manufacturing, or something else? I know Wikipedia at least lists both having the same model (4LCA1640A) of Alstom Onyx motors, so I've always wondered as to the sound differences between them. 

I just wished that the R142s can sound perfectly like the R160s...

I guess R142/As to and R262s to is the strategy

If that happens the  and  trains will have the R142/As Coming from the Jerome yard (Probably None, Some, or all of the R142s on the E 180th street or White plains road yard.) and the  and  trains will have R142s and R262s due to the change when the  reaches Nereid Avenue - 238th Street. And the  and  trains when they reach Flatbush Avenue Brooklyn College. The reason I’m confused about the  train is because they have R142s running so, The  will ride some R262s from the  and when the R262s come the  will still be running with R142s in my opinion or so. To continue this, The  and  trains will be full with R262s. And the problem with the  /  Trains is that their R188s have CBTC Equipped (Including the R142As from the Westchester Yard being converted to R188s.) If the flushing line can have R262s (I think not or whatever.) The  and  lines will have R142/As and some R188s (If the  will have R262s as a prediction.) Well, These are my thoughts and reflecting my ideas about what will happen, Correct me if I’m wrong with something.

There was a 90's plan that would've had all Dyre Ave trains run local from 3rd Avenue 149th Street to East 180th Street.  All  trains and  trains to Nereid would run express.  The way the flyovers north of East 180th Street are designed, it would be more efficient.  Local stations between 3rd Avenue 149th Street and East 180th Street would've had their rush hour service cut from 12 tph to 7 tph, but when residents were polled they said they would have preferred to have Lexington Avenue service over 7th Avenue.  For some reason, there was community opposition, I'm guessing from Dyre Avenue customers who would've lost express service.

It would be better that Nereid Avenue - 238th street bound  trains run express to 3rd Avenue - 149th Street to E 180th St And to Gun Hill Road and run via local to Nereid Avenue, Sounds Perfect? Instead of the  train being express, it can be local still. Welp that 90s plan should be better at planning but it never happened..

The MTA really has to stop with the "what the people want" mentality. If that were the case back then, none of the el's would've been torn down and the Culver/Polo Grounds shuttle would still be running.

For the sake of operational common sense, it needs to change. The  should be the Bronx Express, the should run to Lefferts, 145th St should be closed, the shouldn't stop at 49th St, and many more.

If the  becomes express in peak directions with  in rush hours that would mean if the Manhattan bound is express you have to take a Eastchester Dyre Avenue or Wakefield bound trains To E 180th St and wait for a Express train same thing including the other side of the platforms

Because In that station, there’s a terminal haven’t you explored the station correctly? Not be rude or so.

I don't even know why they're bothering with getting a scrap contract when the first R211 isn't even here yet. they're gonna have to remove R46's as well when they retire. It makes no sense.

The R179s are supposed to replace the R42s and the R32s why wait for the R211 delivery when they’re supposed to replace the R46s. B r u h

From yesterday, the  has went back to using regular 4-car trains. The past few weeks, on weekdays, it was full length 160s and 68/As. 

They did that to increase car space for social distancing.

ESSENTIAL SERVICE  Posted: 04/11/2020  9:56AM

trains run every 15 minutes between Essex St and Middle Village-Metropolitan Av as part of MTA's Essential Service Plan.

We're running as many trains as we possibly can with the crews we have available.

For alternate service on 6 Av, use service. Transfer between and trains at Delancey St-Essex St.

For alternate service on 2 Av, use service. Transfer between and trains at 34 St-Herald Sq.

Or just take the  to Lexington Avenue 63rd street, If you actually transfer at Harold square you’d wait a lot for a  train to come due to the essential service... Tbh Lexington Avenue 63rd street is the best way to transfer.

I can't find any footage of an R46  train.  I don't think the swap would be done to spare  customers from the R46's since they'd just be running on other services instead.  However, it is possible that Coney Island is better equipped to maintain them in their old age.  I think it used to be (and maybe still is) that anything in 207th Street Yard ran on the  while anything in Pitkin Yard ran on the , but when both lines are all full length, I could see it being a shared fleet between the two lines.  It would be interesting to see Siemens R160's on the  because they've never regularly run there before.  

Siemens on the  line?  trains has 8 cars not 10 cars, Also it can be possible that R46s can be running on the  line but doesn’t that means the  train will have some? Also I don’t understand the The  train having Siemens.. they have the R179s? What else do they need?

Well to be fair the reason why it took longer with the  and  swap was that they needed to modified the R142As and ordered B Cars as well as brand new R188s in order to make 11 car trains and on top of they had to do testing when the trains were modify which obviously takes time.

I think the  train is having more Siemens rather than the  and  trains. In march 4th I caught a Siemens  train in Delaney St Essex Street (Coney island Bound, Middle car number #8858.) And It was a new transferred Siemens during the Jamaica and CIY swap. And #9013-9017 Was the first Transferred Siemens shared from the  and , Also the other cars on the Jamaica yard should be the Siemens that are running on the  line or I can be wrong. Also it's quick because they didn't have to do any type of testing on the cars so It's not gonna take years like the Westchester and The corona yard swap
