The should also add an additional 2 LCDs below the R46 LCD so people don't have to wait the annoying few seconds to see if the train is going to Far Rockaway or Lefferts Blvd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not on the R32s and R46s also? Few people would care to care honestly It's not worth the cost especially considering the trains are old and the MTA probably doesn't want to pay more for them besides maintenance anyways It doesn't benefit anybody really It's not the biggest issue or need of the system or trains themselves The should also add an additional 2 LCDs below the R46 LCD so people don't have to wait the annoying few seconds to see if the train is going to Far Rockaway or Lefferts Blvd. I've been in that situation once, but honestly, good luck, with that. I'd be nearly impossible to upgrade all LCD's Flip dot displays with a screen underneath it as theirs no space for that at all. And even if you upgrade the signs with newer LCD's, or even an actual "roll-sign" to save money, I doubt the MTA would want to change them since the Flip dot displays work well enough. Costs would still be high considering the age of the trains and a few seconds of inconvenience for riders doesn't warrant such a huge change for trains well past their retirement.

EphraimB Posted May 23, 2018 Share #18555 Posted May 23, 2018 The R46 display is flip-dot or LCD? The displays do not work well enough. The displays are a lot of times either garbled or blank. I'm very curious how the Cuomo scene would look like in the R32s with the stainless steel texture. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted May 23, 2018 Share #18556 Posted May 23, 2018 I just saw that Darius documentary, it was pretty good. The biggest thing I took from it as he was once married, they broke up because the woman he was married to made him choose between her and trains, he choose trains. He kept staying out late at night railfanning and his wife thought he was cheating, where's in reality he was just out riding trains. I'm shocked he once had a wife, I wonder if he was an Millennial/few decades younger would he be an incel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence St Posted May 23, 2018 Share #18564 Posted May 23, 2018 Quick question, Why doesn't the run via Montague during late nights so people have the chance to transfer to the at Cortlandt Street and at Jay St-Metrotech? And maybe they should change the G.O to this for the whole duration: via Broadway Express/Bridge during days, via Broadway Local/Montague during late nights. via Broadway Local/Montague during days, via Broadway Local/Bridge during nights. Or a more logical one: via Broadway Local/Montague all times. This allows transfer's between the and at Cortlandt St and Jay St-Metrotech. This also increases headways on Broadway Local. via Broadway Express/Bridge all times. This allows room for the on the local track, and gives Broadway another express option other then the . What do you think? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted May 23, 2018 Share #18565 Posted May 23, 2018 Funny you should mention that as I had the exact same thought the other day. Running the via Whitehall St or even local on 4th Avenue offers a more direct connection between Manhattan and the Culver line as opposed to the current setup. Right now, every time the and get booted off 6th Avenue, riders in Manhattan looking for Culver service and vice-versa have to use the or as a bridge of sorts, either changing at Jay St-MetroTech via the or 9 Street via the line, neither of which are good solutions to an annoying service change. My only guess as to why it's done in its current manner is to give the a straight-shot route down Broadway to the Bridge without switching tracks at any point during the trip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They shouldn't be focusing on "the easy route" they need to be focusing on getting more transfers in between the and during this change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was pretending to be a C/R at some station and asked this woman sitting on the bench if she was cold, they started talking and the rest is history.. What's interesting is she didn't speak English and Darius didn't know how to speak Spanish, but they was somehow able to communicate with one another and have an relationship lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running local on 4th Avenue would also be an option. That way, there is still a direct connection between the West End and Culver services during this service change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BM5 via Woodhaven Posted May 23, 2018 Share #18570 Posted May 23, 2018 Don't they usually run the all local via Whitehall with the though? At least that what they did last weekend. That provides more frequent service than the alone, so the transfer at 9th, Cortlandt, or Jay Street isn't so bad when that's the case. Otherwise, then I can understand that. The only station that is negatively affected by this is Lexington Avenue-63 Street, because they would need to make two transfers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted May 23, 2018 Share #18571 Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) Nah, the usually switches back to the express tracks before Atlantic Av. Shifting gears, I don't know if anyone's been to the 57 Street station recently, but they've practically gutted the place for those upcoming station renovations. I was there just a little while ago to refill my MetroCard and I noticed all of the ceiling tiles have been removed and the stainless steel pillars all have marks on them, presumably to indicate removal or something similar. Naturally, because all of the ceiling tiles are now gone, half of the station is in the dark. I'm going to miss that old '60s design a little bit.
