jon2305 Posted September 10, 2015 Share #10476 Posted September 10, 2015 That's ridiculous. I really think that the residents up there should go to their transportation meetings that their local community boards hold and raise hell and get them to get on the about finishing those two stations. I remember distinctly when those stations started being rehabbed and it's a disgrace that they still haven't finished them yet. In fact you can argue that they're worse now than they were before the renovation. The last time I was at 181st or 168th (I forget which one), I saw a rat on the tracks that almost as big as my size 13 shoe. Given how filthy each of those stations are from what is simply negligence, I'm surprised I didn't see more of them. Well I can remember even from my childhood days seeing pigeons flying around in the stations still to this day. Those stations are landmarks of the city and are the closest to illustrate a grander feel of the original IRT stations sort of like City Hall loop. A portion of the arch bricks at 181st St fell onto the tracks in 2009, you talk about 6 years with lack of progress. If Fulton Center station dowtown can have mutiple renovations within the last few decades just to make it look pretty and "unconfusing" then why does it take soo long to fix up these stations uptown. I think it's pathetic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priincenene Posted September 10, 2015 Share #10477 Posted September 10, 2015 There are new posters going up on the line announcing 34 St as the new terminal, but the weird thing is that it's printer paper, and it doesn't have the MTA symbol at the bottom...

And he's right they have been making station announcements about 34th Street as the new terminal for the . I heard it and one part of the announcement was "42nd Street will no longer be the last stop for the ". 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNewYorkElevated Posted September 10, 2015 Share #10486 Posted September 10, 2015 The changes are becoming reality. I have recently saw a subway map on an R62A train, and it had the train extension. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javier Posted September 11, 2015 Share #10490 Posted September 11, 2015 Yeah, I mean you can just hop on the train to get there. Now the second page covers how the service pattern at Times Square has changed and the third page lists what train depart and arriving into 34 St. And once my scanner stops having a fit and actually work, Ill put up the poster as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewFlyer 230 Posted September 11, 2015 Share #10494 Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) There was a lot of crap going on with the subway today. trains were held up at 86th forcing riders to go to 125th street to transfer to and going expressway. The train was running via the line 63rd street line because of a switch malfunction. It also affected the and lines. The was temporarily held up earlier due to a passenger injury so it was a living hell commuting back to Queens from Hunter College. A 40-45 minute commute turn into over 2 hour and 30 minute one. I left college at 7:47pm and was not home until 10:26pm. Edited September 11, 2015 by NewFlyer 230 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not rebuilding it at least not right now because the MTA still has the new South Ferry Station and 2nd Ave subway to worry about. It looks like the 63rd street station on the is about done both sides got new tiling and the platform is complete. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
