Amtrak7 Posted August 21, 2011 Share #1205 Posted August 21, 2011 Is Atlantic Av the only station that says "(2) Wakefld241", or do all stations say that? The numerical numbering system is back everywhere, from what I've seen. It's a good idea, if the MTA wants to show more trains than the board has lines. Or else it seems the next uptown train will come in a very long time if there's no indication its the second train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q85Rosedale Posted August 24, 2011 Share #1207 Posted August 24, 2011 East 180th has its signs installed and running on the uptown and downtown sides. However, they seem to be a little delayed and don't turn orange when the train is coming in the station. It simply says "(2) Wakefield-241 1 MIN" or something along the lines of that (the announcements say it though). They also don't update themselves to tell which track the train is arriving on. On the uptown side, they simply said all trains were arriving in the local track but when the Came, it actually arrived on the middle track.

Guest lance25 Posted August 25, 2011 Share #1212 Posted August 25, 2011 They probably won't be up to A-Division or line standards until CBTC is implemented in 2016 or so. Until then, expect announcements and displays like the ones found on the rest of the 8th Avenue and Queens Blvd lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark1447 Posted August 25, 2011 Share #1214 Posted August 25, 2011 Its still something chris, already activated there and thats what your going to see, Not count down clocks. Pretty much its going to be similar to the B Division as the announcements is the woman since the is pretty much partly handled with the B Div. Such as radio communication. At least for now. Things can change of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lance25 Posted August 25, 2011 Share #1216 Posted August 25, 2011 While they can't be used to display train info yet, they can be used to display various useful information, such as G.O.s. Plus, the plan is to get all B-Division stations real-time info in the next few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones at Penn on the platform are actually more confusing then helpful, they list really (12+ hour) outdated GO's and information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see one at the vast majority of non-PA/CIS stations. Im pretty sure because there are people who are blind who may want time announcements and the boards for the deaf?

Princelex Posted September 14, 2011 Share #1224 Posted September 14, 2011 I spoke to one of the guys working on the clocks last week at Dyre Ave and he said that he expects the clocks to be on in the Dyre Ave portion of the either this week or next week. Time will tell if he's right or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
