R142 Stripmaps

[Q85Rosedale]

Does anyone know when the R142's and R143's stripmaps will be updated?

 

I've taken the and a lot recently and their still announcing that the M is at Atlantic and Borough Hall & Fulton.

 

The stripmaps also have the Brown M signs at Fulton St, Atlantic, & Borough.

I've seen several train R142's from Unionport Yard with updated stripmaps. All of the and trains I've ridden the past week or so had updated announcements. The I haven't really noticed. The new sign on the train's strip maps have more vibrant colors for the routes, especially noticeable for the and , which are darker than before.

 

Also at Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall, Fulton St, and 59th St Charlie Pellet does the new announcements:

 

"Transfer is available to the , , and trains." [uptown]

"Transfer is available to the and trains." [Downtown]

 

"Transfer is available to the , , , , , and trains."

 

"Transfer is available to the , , , and trains."

 

And of course Union Square, Borough Hall and Atlantic Ave now use the regular off-peak/weekend announcements.

Both. The announcements still says the M Runs in BK & the stripmaps still show it too

As for the strip maps, they have yet to be updated. Some strip maps haven't been updated since 2001... Car #7667 being one of them last time I checked.

The R143s are already updated

Yeah, its easy to pile into one yard and do all the 143s. 142/142A are all over the place, most had updated announcements the day of the change. I stopped looking to see if they updated the strip maps.

 

I always wished the strip maps were smarter, and displayed correct information when the route setup was not the normal one for the equipment set. A prime example is when a set assigned to the 5 is used for 2 service... it should have Flatbush - Nevins at least, then blank for all those east side stations (the map turns off after Nevins like in cases when trains go to Utica/New Lots) and tuns back on with 149-GC to 238th. It would turn back off after Nereid.
