R110B Posted July 27, 2011 Share #1177 Posted July 27, 2011 they might turn off the screens because they get hot fast in the hot stations and they don't have the cooling system installed to properly run them with the current conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princelex Posted August 2, 2011 Share #1183 Posted August 2, 2011 149th st 3rd I can confirm that. I was on the today and I saw that the clocks were on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R62A 1991 Posted August 3, 2011 Share #1184 Posted August 3, 2011 For those interested, Atlantic Avenue has had the numbers put back. The red bullets have remained, however. All of the clocks in this station have this configuration as far as I saw. Here's a picture on the uptown local platform taken with a cell: In other news, and I'm sure this has been mentioned, but Nevins St has been off for at least 3 days for now (nothing at all on any of the clocks). Also, Hoyt St is just displaying time and day for today. Finally, in addition to the new config for Atlantic Av, there was also a special announcement played whenever a Nereid Av-bound arrived at the station saying that the destination of the train was Nereid Av. I'm sorry if any of this info was mentioned already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abba Posted August 3, 2011 Share #1185 Posted August 3, 2011 I also have observed that: 1.Franklin ave for about the past week the signs have said: "Train schedule is not avaliable".Same at kingston today. 2.Utica ave was just showing date and time.

R68 Subway Car Posted August 3, 2011 Share #1188 Posted August 3, 2011 I am loving those signs. They are incredibly helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JubaionBx12+SBS Posted August 5, 2011 Share #1189 Posted August 5, 2011 I am loving those signs. They are incredibly helpful. I agree. The great thing is there hasn't been any major inaccuracies. The approaching train announcements own!!! I would add "Please stand away from the platform edge." to the announcements though as a safety reminder.

Amtrak7 Posted August 5, 2011 Share #1190 Posted August 5, 2011 I agree. The great thing is there hasn't been any major inaccuracies. The approaching train announcements own!!! I would add "Please stand away fromthe platform edge." to the announcements though as a safety reminder. I would remove it, as it gets very repetitive during the rush hour. The B div signs should remove the long-winded safety announcement ("Please stand away from the platform edge especially when trains are entering and leaving the station") If the MTA thinks it really is necessary, just use "Please stand back."

At 59th Columbus Circle the message is reduced to "Please stand away from the platform edge" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abba Posted August 5, 2011 Share #1193 Posted August 5, 2011 that station doesnt have AC in the computer room so with this heat we have it will have too be offline. the same goes for them too abba, they will have too put ACs in them so it wont have a a crash with the cpu Right but I think its more than just the heat.

chrisliz09 Posted August 6, 2011 Share #1194 Posted August 6, 2011 Right but I think its more than just the heat.so far i havent heard anything else that is the reason, alot of them that dont have ACs are off, they say its only that reason its off it turns its self off if its too hot so far its been pretty warm out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abba Posted August 7, 2011 Share #1195 Posted August 7, 2011 But a lot of them are on just not showing the arrival times.If they are on why not show the arrival times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisliz09 Posted August 7, 2011 Share #1196 Posted August 7, 2011 But a lot of them are on just not showing the arrival times.If they are on why not show the arrival times?oh thats because the GPU uses alot of energy when doing the arrival times so it get really hot, when its just showing the times its not using the GPU or the CPU as much at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
