Law Posted July 2, 2011 Share #1151 Posted July 2, 2011 the big ones are for showing more trains at one time, just a way too show more thats all in areas where big crowds form and if they have room for it I'm sorry, I didn't explain my question thoroughly, the boards next to the GC(S) are currently large display boards, if it they were used to display messages, as said: The boards also function as variable message boards, which are always useful, especially when the **** hits the fan on one of your connecting lines. Why would they use the larger ones if a smaller one could do the job, is it possible that the would use the boards to display the shuttle time and info?

IntExp Posted July 4, 2011 Share #1153 Posted July 4, 2011 Update on the countdown clocks on IRT Flushing Line - Some of the station clocks (Junction Blvd) now have announcements that now say "Ladies & Gentlemen, the next Manhattan bound local train will arrive in approximately ___ minutes." It's most likely still in it's testing stages, cause some of the times are off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoking66 Posted July 4, 2011 Share #1155 Posted July 4, 2011 that line wont be online for some time now they still havent finished the work on the CBTC so they may have another year are so But you don't need CBTC for countdown clocks, I believe it's ATC or ATO that allows the whole IRT to be tracked, but I'm not an expert on this. Wish they'd implement it on the B Division already, or at least work on it. Those "[x] stop(s) away" messages are so irritating and usually inaccurate.

Guest lance25 Posted July 4, 2011 Share #1156 Posted July 4, 2011 It's actually ATS or automated train signalling. Don't expect it to come to the B Division any time soon. You're just gonna have to get used to the signal-based clocks on the lettered lines until the does something else, like tracking the trains through the internet.

Those "[x] stop(s) away" messages are so irritating and usually inaccurate.they are using the CBTC for there countdown info not ATS its kinda the same but they arent done with it yet. at this time they do not have any plans for the B div at all and the clocks they do have up now is all they are getting at this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
