paulrivera Posted October 8, 2013 Share #4303 Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) A problem with the 142 is that when you activate the PA, you have to wait a second before you can press the talk button. If you press it immediately, the mic won't activate and nobody will hear your announcement. I used a technique where I listened for a static echo before I began speaking to make sure the PA mic was on. Still, the C/R should have looked for a reaction from the customers, since when announcing a skip run, there should be some customers running off the train and standing on the platform as soon as they hear that you're skipping their station. Which didnt happen. The automated system said next stop Bedford Park, then a gap just long enough to make a short manual announcement, then the door announcement. When the train got to Bedford Park and Mosholu, those announcements also played. Something interesting will happen in 3 weeks assignments wise...... It must involve either the / or the / ...

pjbr40 Posted October 8, 2013 Share #4304 Posted October 8, 2013 one thing i noticed it weird but i wont want to jinx the subway. all these years we hear fatality, train with mechanical problem, signal delay, derailment , broken rail condition, and congestion, but never here them had electrical problem such as missing power source between to two points. I can understand if Con edison didnt deliver power because of city black out but not electrical problem like they do on the rail. i dont know if this is possible because of the way it built in difference between the catenary wire and third rail. you think that strange? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are the occasional "loss of power" situations that pop up, where trains will either bypass a station or be rerouted depending on the nature of the power loss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel The Cool Posted October 8, 2013 Share #4309 Posted October 8, 2013 Probably an R68 swap for mileage Yep. Concourse and Coney Island Yard are supposed to swap. R68As are supposed to move to the while the receives the R68s from the due to those Concourse R68s being overused and mileage. The 2500s however will stay on the though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulrivera Posted October 9, 2013 Share #4314 Posted October 9, 2013 I got a semi-canned email response about that train skip from Monday, and I'll paraphrase... "We regret any inconvenience (blablabla) delays occur for a variety of reasons (blablabla) train dispatchers use delay management strategies (blablabla) one of our strategies is to use a battery run. (blablabla 99% of this forum knows what a battery run is) while this inconveniences some customers we try to keep the number of stations skipped to a minimum. However, supervision is instructed to ensure that timely platform announcements are made and conductors make the required announcements on board. (Blablabla) we have referred your email to supervision in our Division of Rapid Transit Operations for review and investigation. (Blablabla) will closely monitor service on the Q line to ensure that delay management strategies are executed and adequate service announcements are made to our customers." The rest of it was canned dribble about 511 and how a letter can be written to 2 Broadway. TBH I'm more surprised they mentioned and gave a definition of what a battery run was and that's the main reason I shared parts of the email. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted October 9, 2013 Share #4315 Posted October 9, 2013 So there you go, a mistake on the crew's part for not announcing it beforehand. Nothing major. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHV9218 Posted October 9, 2013 Share #4316 Posted October 9, 2013 Isn't a battery run from start to end of the route, while this is just a run? You'd think the TA press people would be more careful about terminology... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care if the response is canned, so long as the problem is corrected and that's the one thing I have been noticing at least with the buses anyway. Management does get the complaints and usually does something to rectify the problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j express Posted October 9, 2013 Share #4318 Posted October 9, 2013 When the had R68's for one yerar after the 2010 service cuts, how many of them ran overnight during that time? I think 3 to 4 of them rain overnight during that time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realizm Posted October 10, 2013 Share #4322 Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) I think this is a post of importance. I have discovered that we have a situation where a young teen is missing. The NYPD are making concerted efforts to locate his whereabouts and return him safely to his parents. Apparently he is a railfanner. I want to make everyone here aware, hence the post. http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2013/10/08/reported-sighting-of-missing-autistic-boy-in-queens-but-still-no-sign-of-teen/http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2013/10/09/police-family-intensify-search-for-missing-autistic-boy-from-queens/ The transit focused community at subchat.com are also equally concerned. Thread can be found here: http://www.subchat.com/readflat.asp?Id=1252762 NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – As police, family and volunteers searched for a sixth day Wednesday for a missing 14-year-old autistic boy, the teen’s relatives took the first step toward filing a lawsuit, alleging his Queens school did not do enough to prevent him from running off campus. Meanwhile, a $5,000 reward has been offered by a local law firm for his safe return. Avonte Oquendo has been missing since Friday. He was last seen on school surveillance video leaving the Center Boulevard School in Long Island City. On Tuesday night, Daniel Oquendo was passing out fliers and retracing the footsteps his missing brother may have taken through Astoria. “This was, I believe, the last possible sighting around here around 30th, 31st Avenue around Steinway there are diners I’m going to walk past,” he said.Police have been plastering the teen’s picture everywhere, looking at places familiar to him and even combing train yards and subway tunnels in hopes for a sign.Avonte Oquendo (credit: NYPD) “This young man apparently had a fascination with trains, so we’re going forward on that,” Kelly said.Friends, family members and even strangers also have been putting up signs. “Now we’re on day five and it’s devastating, but we all have very strong will power,” Daniel Oquendo said. “We’re out here. We’re looking.”Police said the young man they found in East Harlem had been missing since Tuesday morning. His identity has not been released.

GojiMet86 Posted October 10, 2013 Share #4325 Posted October 10, 2013 I got one of the flyers in the subway a few days ago. Not a lot of people actually took it. And it's close to my area, too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
