IRT Bronx Express

Not my computer.

• Bx7A - replaces the Bx20. It would operate like the current Bx4/4A, one via Henry Hudson and another one via Riverdale Ave.
  
• Bx28/28 LTD - replaces the Bx38. Locals would short turn at Norwood, LTDs would terminate at Fordham Ctr, weekdays only.
  
• Bx55/55A - Extensions to Wakefield. 55 would terminate at Mott Haven, 55A would terminate at Yankee Stadium (maybe that shopping center at 153 St...)
  
• Bx6/6A - same, but the 6A would serve west of Hunts Point.
  

lol... A certain someone could use that advice...

Yesterday, I was lucky enough to board an R32 at W. 34 St. The ride was extremely fast, even faster than the R46 themselves. ( B)

Concourse Parkway? I never saw that signage before...

What's up with the constant over-lapping of shows on Nick at night? EX: a show that's suppose to come on at 3:00 AM but doesn't come on till about 3:20 AM-3:25 AM. It's been happening for a very long time now. Not sure what's causing it though. :confused:

Bx12 at City Island... I like it.

I think I'll have to hijack a few threads this week. I'm not home during the day (2 or 3 different days), but I have access to a computer nearly all day. Lesee if I can complete requests by then, notably during lunchtime.

Wikipedia and TTMG aren't the same... unlike Wikipedia, TTMG has reliable information.

edit: Fan Railer's explanation is better.

I should add a "not to be taken seriously" disclaimer next time...

After two successful rounds of FASTRACK along the numbered lines, MTA New York City Transit shifted the intensive maintenance and clean-up program over to the Sixth Avenue ((D) lines where hundreds of Transit workers performed a week-long blitz of inspecting, repairing maintaining, cleaning and painting infrastructure between 59th Street-Columbus Circle and West 4th Street.

Norwood to Far Rockaway? Sounds like a subway "rte" a certain somebody would create.

Isn't that when buses are ahead of schedule? I may be wrong though.

Wow, it took me more than an hour to type all of this... there may be errors, so I'll correct them in a while. Expect a Midday service changes edition one day.

I made a new Titan sign. All signs will be revamped (again) so they can have one color instead of 5. I'll have signs later in the afternoon, as I'm not home now.

Now:

Then:

There is a difference. The 2 amber colors were darkened a bit.

I don't even know what's the point of the Optimum email address if there are better email services out there (gmail, yahoo, etc.) I don't even use it anyways. :cool:

I was caught in that hot mess. ( and trains were held at Tremont Av (around 8:50-8:55AM) for 20 minutes until we were instructed to get those blue tickets (forgot the name) and transfer to the nearby Burnside Av . A lot of people (mainly train passengers) literally ran to Burnside Av and the station itself was quickly packed. Some transferred to the at 149/Concourse for West Side access, however. Horrible commute. :tdown:

Doesn't affect me one bit. Next!

Nooo! That's even worse than the split screen. Damn starz, damn them! I know which channels I'm not keeping for the future.

Can I request a Titan sign?

Bx40 LIMITED (4 dots)

Washington Hts

G. W. Bridge

via Tremont Av

No abbreviations, please.

Oh, the evil... :cry:

Has anyone noticed that there aren't too many Bx9 stops between Broadway and Fordham Plaza? To me, it runs as if it were a limited stop route.

I never thought that MCI's are full of evil... :eek:

I'd like to request 2 signs.
