  1. Some C/Rs have announced them as before (the ones that were signed as ) this was before the countdown clocks though.
  2. It has happened a few times before (some midday GOs), last time was in 2009 (middays and evenings) http://www.subchat.com/readflat.asp?Id=737756&p=1 Outside of Yankees/Barclays/Soccer specials, July 2001 Some specials have been signed and announced as . The Barclays specials using r160s are signed as trains to 145 St.
  3. Just like how other SBS routes have deactivated machines late nights (like the Bx12 and Bx41) "SBS not running use the local"
  4. The Bx15 local should be extended to 138 St when the Bx15 LTD gets converted to the Bx15 SBS in order to: 1. Give local bus riders another subway alternative instead of just 149 St 2. In order to keep the two local bus stops on Willis Avenue from being eliminated
  5. Bx46 also serves Barretto Point Park and replaces the Pool Shuttle (Bx24 2nd version)
  6. The has to go local overnight anyway, so the makes more sense to be the express since it was express all night at the time. The also has a longer route in the Bronx than the with more stops. A rider to 241 St has a longer ride than a rider to Woodlawn.
  7. Yes, it also shows that MTA has to cut something, though the train at 12 minute headways was still more total Lex service than the train at 20 minute headways. Would you prefer an overcrowded train running express and no train at all? The was suffering because of the , not the . The is suffering more now due to the ending early almost every night, or not running much at all.
  8. Running the normally would mean the gets cut back to 12 minutes (like before when the had more priority) and the would have to run local to help the .
  9. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6_(New_York_City_Subway_service) Someone posted this: From January 21 to October 5, 1990, late night service was extended back to Brooklyn Bridge when late night express service on the 4 was restored. But the 6 was then cut back to 125th Street for the last time when late-night express service on the 4 in Manhattan was permanently discontinued. October 6 1990 would have been the last day as the 5th was a Friday. Anyone have a 1990 map service guide or , schedules that can confirm or deny this?
  10. The historical dual names are now eliminated in those stations. Looks like MTA has reversed their previous stance on keeping historical names with renovations (like on the ).
  11. The Bronx express in the PM is extended a bit later. Instead of 7:43pm, the last express leaving 3 Av - 149 St now leaves at 7:55pm.
  12. Regular Friday service after 8:30pm from Dyre to Bowling Green won't be running for the next several weeks either due to G.O.s The trains ran until 10:48pm, anything after that were trains to South Ferry. Looks like the and are going to be even more crowded on Friday evenings.
  13. MTA has decided to open the Clark Street Tunnel while the previous pick schedule is still in effect, so now we have these services running S/B for about 1 hour 241 - Flatbush Dyre - South Ferry Dyre - E 180 Going N/B after midnight we will have Flatbush - 241 South Ferry - Dyre E 180 - Dyre The Dyre line has both the and S/B until midnight 7 Av gets extra service at the expense of Lexington
  14. The Dyre line has through service this time while the upper White Plains Road line has shuttle service.
  15. MTA could try running the (to 14 St , Chambers Street, or South Ferry), the (to 42 St, Brooklyn Bridge, or Bowling Green), the (to Lefferts Boulevard), and (to 57 St or 71 Av) Friday-Saturday late nights. The , , , and will be the late night expresses those 2 nights a week. The Lefferts shuttle will be replaced by the for those two nights. Every Manhattan trunk will have one express on Friday and Saturday nights (currently every Manhattan trunk has a weekend late night express except the 8th Avenue and Broadway lines). The on Sunday-Thursday late nights should be extended to 149 St Grand Concourse. The on Sunday-Thursday late nights could possibly be extended to Chambers Street (some late evening s to this now) . The weekend should be extended to Chambers Street after the reopens in Manhattan. The additional weekend late night service will run from Friday night 11:00PM to 8:00AM Sunday Morning (no more and shuttles running until after 7-8am Sunday mornings) This is a middle ground between doing nothing and running these service 7 nights a week, it covers the two busiest nights. It would require permanently having a separate Sunday schedule, Monday-Thursday schedule, Friday schedule, and a Saturday schedule.4 MTA currently has a separate Sunday schedule, Monday schedule (until 5am), Tuesday-Thursday schedule, Friday schedule (after 10pm on the , 10:30pm on the , and 11:00pm on the ), and a Saturday schedule on the , and trains. The complete Monday and Friday schedules are only shown in real time and not on the timetables.
  16. has more priority than the since it now runs to Brooklyn on weekends, so instead of the running every 20 minutes, the runs every 12 minutes (instead of 8) whenever the and have to run on the same tracks on weekends. The upper White Plains Road line now sees 12 minute headways on weekends instead of 8 minute headways. They also have a train overnight with the choice if transferring to a train at E 180 St which is usually about 1-3 minutes behind it. Much better than the usual overnight trying to rush and connect with a which may be leaving by the time the gets to 149 St GC meaning up to 20+ minute waits discouraging ridership. Weekend daytime riders suffer, but weekend late night riders benefit.
  17. Subway Time shows the trains running as Dyre Shuttles while the MTA website says they should be trains.
  18. will go to 96 St weekday late nights and early mornings as well.
  19. Third phase will be the , second phase is just a extension.
  20. Some of those buses (the small ones) don't even run to the subway, they just end outside the complex
  21. Bx12 SBS and Q44 SBS extend further than the Bx12 Local and Q20 Local, some people have to take the SBS
  22. The did run on CPW on weekends from November 2000 - July 2001. The even ran on CPW until after midnight, a bit later than the did.
  23. Not enough late night crews to come completely cover the late night to 148, so the issue of crews stopping at 145 will still come up.
  24. SBS would restore weekend rapid service to 3 Av and would replace the weekend Bx55 LTD service.
