The public time tables can give you a pretty good hint (the first through trains in each direction leave within 10 minutes of each other) but there are about a dozen M trains that put in at Forest Hills, ether from being laid up in Jamaica Yard or on the QB express tracks.

Provide service towards Metropolitan for passengers along the Myrtle Ave El who would otherwise have to wait for the first through train from Forest Hills to come around the long way.

... you do know that not all vent grates belong to the subway, right? Those are Con Ed underground transformer vents. Heres what to look for. Most, if not all subway vents are sealed on the surface... because we can access them from beneath, in the tunnels if we had to. also, for the most part, we have no reason to go in there except to clean them out. They're for air circulation only. Con Ed vents, on the other hand, have hatches built into them so workers can climb down inside, because there is hardware down there that needs maintaining. Or else this can happen

waste of money and effort that would get them, what, maybe another year or two out of the thing, with the 211S on it's way.

At what point in my post did I use the word “signals”… I did not. I said “Yard tracks, Shop Tracks, and Switch placement” ENY barn is not long enough to handle a 600’ train. the yard tracks at ENY and Fresh Pond are not long enough to hold a 600’ train and only maybe four or five yard tracks at Canarsie could take 10 cars. The rest are not long enough.

that sound you're hearing is 34 Master having a coronary and aneurism at the same time... A, C, E AND D all sharing B3 B4 from 59 to 42nd? A, C, E and F all sharing B1 B2 at West 4th?

The entire point is to isolate manufacturing issues that might have happened and fix the cars in the factory before they leave. Do you want to waste valuable work space in the shops to fix issues on multiple cars or do you want to have the factory workers do it?

I hate you…

because platforms aren't the only issue. Yard tracks... shop tracks... switch placement. the old East just isn't designed for 600' trains at all. go on google Earth, look at East New York Yard and tell me how we're going to fit 10 car trains in any of that?

basically, yes. as many people as possible need to be up to speed on the new cars.

All I know is my number skyrocketed over 550 places. went from the 37XX (per the last pick's results sheets) to 31XX (per the insight app) They still have the seniority roster on TENS from over a year ago for some damn reason.

that's a GO due to the L being out. exception, not the rule

There are three trains on property right now. The single 211A prototype and the two 211T prototypes. So 30 cars all together in three trains the 211A will hopefully begin it’s 30 day test in the next few weeks. the 211Ts will not see customer service until the end of the year.

If I've told you once, I've told you a million times that is not practical.

I just spent three days working the N and Q lines as a conductor. 2 days on the N and one on the Q. that is why I know this will not work, it will not make the system better. I have actually been a cog in this machine. I am not looking at numbers on a screen and thinking I know better. also the M/V was and is a terrible idea because 6th Avenue and QB should not have to deal with 480’ trains. Sure, it’s “popular” but it’s also the first thing cut the moment something goes wrong. We’re making shuttle trips to Essex street by 8:30 every night and it’s not even going to run at all next week.

“Consensus among subway nerds”. great, then we know to do the exact opposite since armchair consensus usually is the exact wrong thing to do. rhe purposes of the SAS is not to help Broadway. The purpose is to run under Second Avenue. Broadway service on the SAS is secondary. You all have this mindset that all the lines must be running at absolute maximum capacity… when we can’t do that. We don’t have enough people, enough cars, enough resources, to provide the levels of service you seem to think are required. nevermind this is not the service the riding public desires. Astoria does not want just the W (which, need I remind you, doesn’t actually exist) while ram rodding both the N and Q up to 96 is more service than the line needs and more of a risk.

would also like to remind everyone that H is taken. Yes, you don't call the shuttle that, but we still do.

I would hardly call that a "branch". it was a curve of track to connect the Lower Montauk to the freight yards at sunnyside Yard. We use that as storage space, so that's a no.

If I think (cause this was only last week), she might have said she wasn’t from around here. all I know was she was misusing the emergency intercom and there was someone else at my window asking me a question.

they would be a lot more amicable to our situation if they had an angry mob breathing down their necks every time something goes wrong? 12-9 at Jay, I'm on the F. I get told we're going over Crosstown. I literally had at least one person angrily ask me "What do you mean we're going over the G train? What the heck is a G train?"

Why are we even still having this conversation? We’ve established the 211As are launching on 8th avenue and overall the fleet will only be assigned to CBTC equipped lines. you guys can go on and on about the N, Q and W all you want, but the simple fact is they are not getting them because the Broadway line will not be getting CBTC in the near term. how hard is that to understand?

that's like demanding a Nintendo Switch have an NES cartridge slot. it would serve no real purpose.

It’s President’s Day Week AKA Mid winter break. They’re not going to School.

the next B division job pick won't take effect until, like, june. So before anything else that would not solve the problem in and of itself.

That's ether TGC 3 or TGC 4. TGC 1 and 2 are single units.
