GojiMet86 Posted June 14, 2010 Share #551 Posted June 14, 2010 Today, at around 7:00 A.M. on an R - 160, I saw the map. Damn, Manhattan takes up about a third of the map. And that grey "shadow" line does look like another train route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NX Express Posted June 14, 2010 Share #552 Posted June 14, 2010 Today, at around 7:00 A.M. on an R - 160, I saw the map. Damn, Manhattan takes up about a third of the map. And that grey "shadow" line does look like another train route. Also, there's a ton of empty space without the service guide, accessibility box, and bus bubbles. I saw it yesterday.

T to Dyre Avenue Posted June 14, 2010 Share #553 Posted June 14, 2010 I redid the Queens trackmap for Queens Blvd. changes Good job on the three maps, but I'm guessing they will not be on NYCSubway.org until the service changes actually take effect on 6/28.

Grand Concourse Posted June 15, 2010 Share #554 Posted June 15, 2010 And about time I wonder if Calcagno will update his version for nycsubway.org. The last update is over 5 years old. But then again not much has changed in 5 years. No need to change anything till the 27th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, this one sided outline is used on the regular map; but notice, there are no outlines on the current service change map! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alargule Posted June 15, 2010 Share #556 Posted June 15, 2010 But then again not much has changed in 5 years. No need to change anything till the 27th. True. Though the got extended to Church Av in the mean time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtrak7 Posted June 17, 2010 Share #557 Posted June 17, 2010 The new schedules are UP! http://www.mta.info/nyct/service/schemain.htm Note the timetable still says "(N) Broadway Express". And yes, it's still via Whitehall at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric B Posted June 18, 2010 Share #558 Posted June 18, 2010 Here's a cool article by AM NY http://www.amny.com/urbanite-1.812039/v-and-w-trains-join-a-long-list-of-routes-that-have-bowed-out-of-the-subways-1.2028944 The paper version (City Living) also included all the shops you can visit on the line neighborhood by neighborhood, from Forest Hills to Metropolitan. At the bottom: Rules for choosing a subway name: I, O: Looks too much like numbers to use P, U, Y: Also no-no’s, as they sound like words X: Has been used as a placeholder for lines under development. Was considered for a line from Sixth Avenue to the World Trade Center, but the route never surfaced. Source: Glenn Lunden, NYC Transit Operations and Planning So it's "sounding like words"? (Ad not just the "P" reference!) What about the B and C and R, then? (They also forget the proposed emergency LIRR Penn Sta substitute service).

Ridgewoodian Posted June 18, 2010 Share #561 Posted June 18, 2010 The new schedules are UP! Still doing the ten minute rush hour headways on the . *SIGH* Hopefully when the budget rebounds some they'll figure out a way to reduce them some.

LRG Posted June 18, 2010 Share #563 Posted June 18, 2010 What's the details on said party? I started at facebook event to ride the last train next week Friday. I got the idea from the "Death of the Diamond party" that occurred in 2004. People were crammed in the last car of the train from 57th Street to Brighton Beach, which was also a Slant :cool:. All the details are on the facebook event page so just search up "Death of the party" in facebook and you should find it. So it seems there will be a Train Party. Anything going on the or the Brooklyn Half of the (M2)?:cool: I didn't arrange anything for either line but I'll be on the last (M2) train out of Bay Parkway that's for sure. As for the I'll ride that in the afternoon of the same day or the day before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, this one sided outline is used on the regular map; but notice, there are no outlines on the current service change map! It looks even worse on the Railroads side where the line looks like a vague extension of the City-Terminal Zone. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
