As it is the T/Ds still are struggling with preventing delays on the and . Adding more routes via Brighton is going to be tough. Better to send the for example down 4th Ave it would help with a smooth flow of operation as was with the ( M ) . The / combo works for the Brighton, I think it fulfills customer demand and it doesn't drive the T/Ds u[ a wall at the same time trying to keep things on scedule. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AND service AM rush from Jay Street. ( not that bad with the supplemental service) A supplement BMT via Montague Tube service down 4th Ave will relieve congestion. The will be the way to go, no foaming here just common sense. It will give people access to South Brooklyn and East NY. Relieving the insane Atlantic/Pacific St station. You should see how Pacific St looks like on the 4th Ave BMT, crazy! And that at like what? 8PM? The once tube service is restored will help but Nassau St Brooklyn bound service will do justice IMHO.

R188 7857 Posted April 17, 2014 Share #6310 Posted April 17, 2014 Had an R62A on the yesterday with a howling motor.. Right when I stopped recording at 14 street it started to get so much louder...

realizm Posted April 17, 2014 Share #6313 Posted April 17, 2014 Or, knowing the way most passengers act, they most likely didn't notice anything had changed True. They know how the system works they will probably just look at it say f**k it and take the train anyway knowing that the signs are wrong. Prolly even take pics as we are doing, I've seen it many happen. That being said it seems that the railfanning hobby is really moving if we see people from all walks of life who are not in the online community taking train pics. Something I noticed which is pretty cool actually. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollOver Posted April 17, 2014 Share #6315 Posted April 17, 2014 Thats another thought, and service is ridiculously crowded after Chambers/14th street/BB-City Hall/Fulton St with all the commuters coming out of downtown Manhattan, crushloaded insane. AND service AM rush from Jay Street. Well actually during rush hours, the peak load point on northbound trains is Broadway Junction and the peak load point on northbound trains is Lafayette Avenue in the AM peak, respectively. But yes, they do seem to be fully crushed by the time they get to Jay Street, especially because of riders coming from both the and respectively. As for the Brooklyn IRT, well from what I've experience in the PM peak, southbound and trains seem to empty out by the time they get to Atlantic. Perhaps I'm wrong. Presumably those heading back home (east of Utica) always transfer to the at either Nevins, Franklin and/or even Utica. No wonder Utica-bound trains look almost empty (aside from the first car) in the PM peak, plus because of the constant delays between Franklin and Utica, as the relay can't accommodate that many frequent trains. And those occasional Utica-bound trains make the delays even worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And those occasional Utica-bound trains make the delays even worse. I'm trying to figure out why an IRT extension out that way hasn't been a higher priority. Thanks to Utica, Flatbush, and Rogers Junction, the line is almost always backed up from early in the morning until late in the evening. If they built the damn Utica Avenue line, either the or could turn off so the Utica relay would be unnecessary. Flatbush was never meant to be a terminal in the first place and having 2 lines down there makes it worse, but there's nowhere else the can go, because the Lex service is needed in Brooklyn. Rogers Avenue Junction is a choke point by itself, but delays further downstream on the remind me of a fluid mechanics problem I saw in today. If there's a small pipe downstream slowing the flow of water, you could install a much larger pipe upstream and water will still back up due to that small pipe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted April 17, 2014 Share #6318 Posted April 17, 2014 The reason why other useful extensions, like Nostrand, Utica and many others aren't at a higher priority is because they're always behind the never-completed Second Avenue line. Dating way back, probably to the 1939 Second System plans, the plan of action has always been, build Second Avenue, then everything else. Since we can't seem to get Second Avenue done, nothing else gets done. Considering this, it's actually quite amazing we've got the 63rd Street and Archer Avenue stub lines built. Obviously, there is a good reason Second Avenue gets precedence over other projects when expansion funds materialize. One only needs to ride the Lex to see why, but it is a bit disconcerting to see that because we can't get one big line built, we also can't seem to get any of the other much smaller projects done either. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYSubwayBuff Posted April 18, 2014 Share #6321 Posted April 18, 2014 You know why I think it would be a family friendly idea? It would not only provide advertising for condom companies it would educate kids from a young age who would ask "mommy what's that big latex thing" and mommy would say "that's the thing you wear to not have children honey" and then thw child would know from a very young age to practice safe sex and not do it "raw" Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
