It’s on the south side of the mezzanine, opposite of where the old booth was. It looks like a “carved out” area of the station, I wonder what was there in that area before, storage 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted December 7, 2023 Share #30359 Posted December 7, 2023 I wonder how the Shuttle uses R160s from ENY instead of Jamaica Yard. I know it uses the tracks via Broadway line but did Jamaica Yard prefer not to have the Shuttle and full length entirely 10 cars 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Around the Horn Posted December 7, 2023 Share #30360 Posted December 7, 2023 The has been shortened by the service change so it has trains to spare Same reason why the has R160s again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeeP15-9112 Posted December 7, 2023 Share #30361 Posted December 7, 2023 Definitely putting the spares to good use on the C, some of those Pitkin 46s deserve some time in the shop.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkstar8983 Posted December 11, 2023 Share #30362 Posted December 11, 2023 R179 cars 3050-3053/3102-3105 spotted on the line - interesting considering that they’re from the line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted December 12, 2023 Share #30363 Posted December 12, 2023 (edited) The train yesterday had about 2 train sets this past Monday. Not sure if the AM rush tripper was kept on the the whole day. Around 5 PM at Times Square, I got on a Alstom A-2 set to Sheepshead Bay. Cars were 9797-9793 and 9588-9592. Another set that was told: 8818-8822 and 9823-9827 B Kawasaki units. Edited December 12, 2023 by Calvin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea R160’s are going to pop up regularly on the or if the shop is overwhelmed with keeping up with the vandalism of the R46/68/68A’s which also have been running to death. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant wait to see those R160s rolling again in Astoria. Also, this is all because now a lot of train cars don't get shop-time since midday service was expanded on the B division: particularly the lines. If you look at the schedule for the now, the now needs two extra trains (plus the extra train that comes from 207 St as the to Euclid Av in the morning) to run midday service every 8 minutes, which then switches back to the for rush hour service when the goes back to 10 minute headways. If you look at the schedule for the , all 23 trains that ran in the morning must now run the whole day (the 86 St trips now all go to Coney Island), and I think one of the 86 St trips gets changed to an train and re-starts service at Stillwell Av, while the other starts service from Brooklyn at 4:35PM going back to Astoria as the . All four of these routes are dominated by the R46s, which are now not getting any shop time. Add the train to the mix, which had all of its trains run the same headways (minus one or two trains in the AM rush) for the entire day, plus a low R46 spare factor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stand clear of the closing doors! Honestly, I always think it's a bit unique how the MTA labels short routes as "shuttles" . In most cities, short lines are just assigned a normal colour/letter/name like any other line, Examples include Waterloo & City line in London or the Yellow Line in Chicago 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkstar8983 Posted December 14, 2023 Share #30367 Posted December 14, 2023 Quick question: what happened to the line recently? Today I was waiting for an uptown train at Columbus Circle during the AM rush and I kid you not, for 35 minutes, NOTHING BUT R46s were coming in both directions. And even on my trip uptown to 168 St, nothing but R46s passed us (I came up on the ) in both directions. Did the MTA pull all the R179s and R211s off the ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris89292 Posted December 18, 2023 Share #30370 Posted December 18, 2023 Today it has been the worse day to take the during rush hours, both AM and PM rush hours were horrible today, very disappointing for MTA, now it would’ve been a different case if these interruptions happened during midday, but these incidents occurred during rush hours, were there will be massive crowding, horrible service today 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she did not acquiesce to the threat, maybe the gunman would not have gotten onto the train to threaten the passengers too? The conductor made a very stupid decision there to put her passengers at risk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a lose-lose situation, doesn't matter if she let the dude on or not. I'm just glad it didn't lead to anything worse because I get the feeling bro would've either got a shot off on her or started shooting at the train had she not and who knows what would've happened. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
