Great shots! Man yesterday was a full day. The (M2), (V) and (W) will be missed. I liked that little speech the conductor gave on the last (M2) lol, kinda sad.

Yeah I agree. And also seeing that last (W) train slowly take off out of Kings Highway was sad.

 

 

Great shots (T)!

Yes, a fitting day. I don't see the hubbub behind the loss of the (V). The loss of the (M2) and (W) was WAY more important as both lines had more history than the (V) and the reality of it is, the (V) customers aren't loosing anything but just 1 station.

 

I also embrace the new (M), and why many people may ask? The new (M) is history coming back. The new (M) is the rebirth of the (K)(K) (sorry no icon for the original KK line). The (K)(K) line went from Broadway Junction to 57th Street-6th Av via the Chrystie Street Connection. So the new (M) is bringing back a large portion of history.

 

So, DUECES to the (V) and GOOD DAY to the (M).

Did anyone record the speech? That would be great to hear.

 

Wasn't able to get a recording cause it happened all of a sudden. The conductor on the last (M2) train was like "Ladies and gentleman, this is the (M2) train to Bay Parkway. This will be the last (M2) train ever to Bay Parkway. It's been a pleasure riding with you these years, and thank you."

I'm sorry but are you on crack or something? The (V) was the most important out of the (M2) via West End & the (W).Unless you're combining the (M2) and the (W) vs. the (V) then it would make sense.Seriously the (V) riders are loosing b\c now they have to take a PACKED (F) from Brooklyn to work instead of getting a one seat ride on the (V).Now they have to cram in on that (F) and very rarely the (F) is not packed during rush hrs and 2nd Av is a pretty busy station.Now instead of a 600' train there will be a piece of shit 480' train that will be worst.Sry 4 coming at you like that but it's crazy. Nice pics btw

Theres only the lost of ONE stop. Just 1, uno, comprende?. Please, you're trying to make points as if they're valid but you're not looking at the WHOLE picture here. Ok sure, you'll still have packed (F) train from Brooklyn, but think of the riders coming off the (J)/(Z) and (M2) at Essex Street to transfer to the (F). Now instead of those riders jumping to the (F), (M) riders are staying on that train and riders from the (J)/(Z) heading to 6th Avenue can make a transfer to the (M).

 

I've said this in another thread, the only valid argument against the (M) is the lost of South Brooklyn service, thats it. Other than that, I'm waiting for the (M) service to start and see if it really is a good or bad idea on the MTA's part.

 

People are making too much of a big deal about the lost of the (V) train for nothing.

Um, yeah no....Lets back this train up about 24 stations. First, coming at me like that FIRST then apologizing, doesn't fly with me.

 

Its common sense, kid. As someone who functions off reality and the truth of the matter. The (V) riders loose nothing. The ONLY thing the (V) riders loose is 1 solitary station, 2nd Avenue, in which 93% of the time, MOST of the (V) riders don't even got all the way to. MOST (V) riders coming from Queens get off between Lexington-53rd and West 4th with a small and I do mean small amount getting off at Broadway-Lafayette and 2nd Avenue AND vice versa, most (V) riders board the (V) from West 4th St and north of that. The new (M) does NOT miss any of the important parts of the retired (V). And the riders who do need to access 2nd Avenue in the AM is getting on the (F) at the point in the line, @ Broadway-Lafayette, where MOST of the ridership is already off the train, THUS not having to deal with said PACKED train for all of about a 2 minute ride one stop to 2nd Avenue. Point Blank!

 

The TRUE sufferers are those from the old (M2) who lost their one seat rides to lower Manhattan both from Middle Village and from Bensonhurst. THOSE riders now either have to transfer to a (J) or (Z) coming from Middle Village or to a (2), (3), (4), (5) or (R) coming from Bensonhurst. Those are the riders who loose out this deal. Not even the (W) loose out too much as they are getting supplimental service from the (Q) AND STILL have their one seat ride to local stops between Astoria and Prince St.

 

Come down off being a fan and see if what it is. The (V), good bye, the riders aren't loosing anything but A under used stop along the ENTIRE line. REALITY CHECK ONE!

 

REALITY CHECK TWO, The (M2) riders from Bensonhurt, The West End, and from Middle Village traveling to lower Manhattan and the (W) riders from Astoria going below Prince St to the Financial District are the TRUE victims of this whole ordeal.
