Princelex Posted September 28, 2011 Share #1251 Posted September 28, 2011 Weird but I heard the announcements for the trains arriving! Now thats common. I've been to a couple of stations where the announcements were working but the clocks were as black as could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisliz09 Posted September 28, 2011 Share #1254 Posted September 28, 2011 Stations WITHOUT clocks on lines that use the A Division radio channel: White Plains Road Line north of East 180 St 10 stations Dyre Avenue Line 5 stations Whitlock Ave downtown only Fulton St Fulton St. Grand Central 18.5 stations without clocks Removing GCT Lex. Any update on the Bronx or GCT ? i saw them working on the gun hill rd station on the dyre ave line it maybe on soon i guess,fyi all stations had an update so they can do the announcements chime that comes on before the announcements, it sounds good.

geoking66 Posted October 3, 2011 Share #1255 Posted October 3, 2011 MAJOR NEWS! The clocks at Grand Central on the are ON! I saw them after 3pm while I was working on the . It's about time!!! Finally. Of all stations, Grand Central is one of the most in need; wonder what took them so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Pelham Pkwy North entrance, haven't entered at Pelham Pkwy South to see.) They're off but hopefully they will be activated soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the clocks on the dyre ave line but none of them showed train arrivals. Just a schedule is not available message or the date and time. I thought dyre wouldn't be getting it for years. That's what I read a little while back anyway. WPR by nov 2011 and Dyre in something like 2014 or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JubaionBx12+SBS Posted October 29, 2011 Share #1271 Posted October 29, 2011 I happen to notice that lots of times when an approaching train is being announced, especially on the Lex, that train happens to be halfway in the station at the time of the announcement. What's the point of announcing an 'approaching' train if it's less than 10 seconds away from letting me and other riders on? I don't get that.

Based on what I've seen and videos I've watched, the announcement usually sounds when the train is approximately 2-3 car lengths outside the station.
