I agree with the train idea. About the Second Av. stations, while they would be convenient stations, they wouldn't work: There is already a Second Av. station on the (hence it's title, 2nd Av). The won't happen because the Queens-bound end of 53 St. - Lexington Av. is at, if not passed Third Av. Similar with the at 59 St. - Lexington Av. AND the at Grand Central.

If there is, that'd seem to satisfy some of the minor issues people keep bringing up.

May I get an avatar-sized one that says Q44? Thanks.

I've noticed that before, when I'd take the Bx19 from there. I always wondered why it was there.

Well, as 7LineFan had said a few posts above, similar issues happen on the . There are Queens-bound trains that are scheduled to terminate at Willets Point, but their rollsigns still say to Main St. It's just announced that it's stopping short. As long as the announcer on the 3 Av-bound mentions that it's stopping short (i.e. "This is a 3 AVENUE-138 STREET BOUND train"), the signs won't make THAT big of a difference. Worst case scenario, they'll get off at 3 Av and continue their trip. Not too much of an inconvenience, because if they knew beforehand, they'd still be waiting for another train -- only difference would be waiting in Manhattan opposed to waiting at 3 Av.

Thanks so much. They look excellent :cool:

Right, but wasn't there something about the distance between the train and the platform that made it so IRT trains only run on BMT tracks during moves?

and system restraints (i.e. IRT can't run on BMT lines) make it pretty much impossible for it to even be rerouted via the to Astoria. It can not be rerouted anywhere else so the strip map will be fine. If there's a G.O., they can just turn some of the strip map dots off (like the now with it skipping Elder & St. Lawrence). No need for FINDS there -- Agreeing with it being more useful on the current IRT NTT cars (esp. the and which are known for switching a lot, but the and as well).

It's partially because the transfer announcement "a free transfer is also available to the train by walking to the lexington avenue - 63rd street station and using your MetroCard" makes the entire 59 St announcement really long, when the announcement isn't started AS SOON AS the train enters 59th, the announcement is still playing when the doors open. I think the problem is that they can't easily play the "This is a Bronx/Pelham Bay Park/Parkchester-bound..." announcement when that happens. Some solve that by waiting until the entire announcement completes before opening the doors. I might be wrong though.

I personally prefer IRT, mainly b/c I've grown up with it more so than IND/BMT. However, I do wish there were more 'B Division' lines in the Bronx than the IND Concourse.

Random thought: when the gets extended to 96 St, at 59 St: "This is, 59th Street. Transfer is available to the ,,,, and trains. A free transfer is also available to the and trains by walking to the Lexington Avenue - 63rd Street station and using your MetroCard." at 63/Lex: "This is, Lexington Avenue - 63 Street. Transfer is available to the train. A free transfer is also available to the ,,,,, and trains by walking to the Lexington Avenue - 59th Street station and using your MetroCard." Sounds like an interesting announcement to hear. *mentioned b/c of popular thought that will be revived when goes via 2nd Av
