kawasaki3 Posted June 15, 2009 Share #3 Posted June 15, 2009 which new annoucment are you talking about that have been re-recorded? Is it the R143 or R160A :eek: ( OMG ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelham Bay Dave Posted June 15, 2009 Share #4 Posted June 15, 2009 When I was on the Line those Special announcements were only on R143's since the R160 is shared with the Lines. These announcements are not new but only played when the situation calls for it. There even one thats say "(L) trains are running at slower speeds".

R62A 1991 Posted June 15, 2009 Share #5 Posted June 15, 2009 I've heard the "The last stop on this Rockaway Parkway-bound train is..." on a Broadway Junction-bound train about 2 or 3 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when I was on it the week before, it didn't say that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelham Bay Dave Posted June 16, 2009 Share #7 Posted June 16, 2009 Thats because the Crew didn't hit that message or you where riding a R160. The Crew on a R143 has to go into special messages and play it manually its not automatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAA89 Posted June 19, 2009 Share #8 Posted June 19, 2009 So I was going home last night on the , i stepped in and i heard a new announcement.

LORIMER ST SHUTTLE usually it says... LORIMER ST BKLYN LOCAL when di they make these changes? I've heard it too. The line keeps being closed late nights and weekends between Lorimer and Myrtle-Wyckoff Avenues for track work, forcing a transfer to a shuttle bus. The conductor makes the announcements manually on some trains (presumably R143s), but play a pre-recorded message on the R160s. (I've actually heard the "this is a 14th street bound L-train" followed by "the last stop on this train is Myrtle Avenue-Wyckoff Avenue..." announcement, since I was going the other way).
