This topic is related to the IRT Lenox-WPR Local [And ] line only, lets not go off, thanks!

 

Is there a reason why th e(2)[Lenox Ave Local] doesnt have an announced for connecting the the MNCRR at 125th and Malcolm X Blvd?

 

To be honest there should be one, even if its 3 blocks away. Look at 233rd on the WPR, which the does have connection to the MNCRR's Harlem Line[Woodlawn] which is like 4 LONG Blocks away compared to 125th St

 

Follow Blue route from point to

They should also make announcements for MNRR connections on Gun Hill Rd and Wakefield-241st St

[rmcconnell 1]

A distance of two full-length crosstown blocks doesn't really count as a connection. After all, they don't announce a connection to PATH at 33rd Street , do they?

 

I wonder if they still have the signs for the non-existent connection between the Fordham MNR station and the Pelham Parkway station. If that's a connection, then I don't know what is.

On a similar note, the and should announce a xfer to PATH at Fulton Street.

[JFK 7212 8]

Why?There is no direct connection to PATH at Fulton St.

[2Line1291 24]

The doesnt stop at Fulton St but once the Cortlandt St stations reopens conductors should make announcements about connections w/ the PATH trains.

[PATCOman 196]

The PATH station and the Fulton Street station are only a short block apart.
