    I stay well in touch with happenings on the upper east side.  If anything, that part of Manhattan is far more dense now than when I grew up there and with the new high rise buildings continuing to go up it is going to get worse. 

    Which has nothing to do with what we are talking about...

    Tell ya what you can believe whatever you want to believe its cool..

    My time down here is growing shorter so whatever they do they do, as long as the checks dont bounce;)...

    Couple of weeks back I was on the Lima, heading Canarsie bound on my last trip, my TO canceled ATO, sounded the horn and slowed down as I swear we passed some flashing lights… but no work zone on the screen.*

    called it in to control myself.
     

    (* the conductor CBTC screen doesn’t give us the same details as the TO, but we still get to know what mode our train is in, and what the status of the CBTC in our area is… and suddenly going from ATO to manual is actually a serious red flag)

    Oh yeah and they SEE it right away too they want to know Why....

    Folks as in people from different MoW Departments or Tresspassers?

    MOW signal maintainers biggest culprits....

    One gang by Roosevelt last year had lanterns out on the roadbed working no work zone set up it was banged in by a (E) train...

    The Guy had the gall to get on the radio and tell OCC "oh i sent the helper call you guys to set it up"

    Needless to say they was ordered off the tracks and told to call the desk...

    On weekends, there's no harm no foul with this plan, though more crews would be needed. The (M) doesn't go to Queens weekends anyway. It would actually provide expanded service.

    They cant even keep  some of the crews they hiring now because they all want weekends and holidays off working nine to Five..

    (Sarcasm) Yet there is truth to what im saying...

    It's not that I'm a buff.  A lot of the things I see are things that could be done, especially in terms of one-seat rides.

    And I do like the idea of the (M) to 96th full time if possible specifically because I know the area growing up there and know how densely populated the upper east side really is.  Having 6th Avenue and Broadway service on the SAS to me would make it more appealing to many, especially given who knows when we'll actually see the (T). 

    You lost me when you said GROWING UP THERE....

    Areas change ridership changes stop living in the past....

    I see. Part of me assumed that ATO was in full swing for much longer since every time we have to call on flagging, RCC has to inhibit ATO before we can even step foot onto the right of way to set up lights, work (if its Point to Point), etc..

    Oh yeah and those times when some folks tried to do and and one of us saw em..

    Hell to pay....

    Can we not turn a serious conversation about a construction project into “service fantasy thread #7345217”

    that is probably the most annoying thing people do around here.

    Feels like every single thread some armchair with too much free time has to try to suggest a “better” way to do something…

    and I keep saying in this thread it’s unnecessary, we already have plans in place for such work in our back pockets for when we need it… and nobody listens to me…

     

    Some of these Buffs just cant help themselves.

    They should stick to BVE instead...

    Part Suspended

    (A)(C) trains are severely disrupted in both directions. Avoid these lines and take (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(B)(D)(E)(F)(J)(L)  or local buses instead. 

    What's Happening?

    We're running as much service as we can with the train crews we have available.
