Javier Posted April 6, 2015 Share #9251 Posted April 6, 2015 Why the hell are people so utterly obssed with the transit system like this? Do they want to DESTROY the transit system? I mean they change signs on trains, they almost BLEW UP a train, and God knows who else what. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh Pond Posted April 6, 2015 Share #9253 Posted April 6, 2015 These kids are beyond retarded for all the dumb shit they have been doing in the subway. Even a couple of weeks back, three idiotic kids surfed onto the back of an uptown train (not the train, as the News incorrectly said) at 96 St when it began leaving the station. 2 different unrelated things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollOver Posted April 7, 2015 Share #9259 Posted April 7, 2015 I rode the entirety of the / , but... Sometime around 1 pm something, I had to exit 207 St to find a restaurant to use a restroom (since the one at 207 St terminal is always closed). Re-entered the station after about 5 minutes to find a Lefferts-bound sitting there and hopped on that. At 59 St, the C/R opened and closed the doors multiple times, then says that the train has a door problem. I don't know if it was the first or last car but I simply stayed on the car I was on. In the meantime, the train crew was still investigating the door issue. About 4 minutes later, a pulls in. I still simply stayed on the since I already had a seat and the train was empty somewhat. Then about 2-4 minutes later, a pulls in on the local track, then leaves. Then about 2-4 minutes later, a Far Rock-bound pulls in on the local track. The C/R told everyone on the Lefferts-bound to get on the Far Rock-bound one across the platform due to the ongoing door issue. The entire train was clear and as I waited on the platform (not wanting to deal with the crowds on the Far Rock-bound ), the C/R on the Lefferts-bound one said the train would be out of service in the meantime. The Far Rock train on the local track begins pulling out, and 2 minutes later, a arrives. Afterwards, the C/R on the Lefferts announces that the door issue has been corrected and the train is now back in service and the next stop will be 42 St. As we pass 50 St, the very same Far Rock-bound on the local track is sitting there. At the same time, as we roared into 42 St, the was also coming in too and we made a connection. Soon enough, I got off at Fulton to take the home. Riders on that Far Rock train surely was pissed that they were delayed further due to the earlier incident mention above. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N6 Limited Posted April 7, 2015 Share #9263 Posted April 7, 2015 With the NYC subway's Express/Local configuration on the lines with mezzanines, would it have been cheaper to build the express tracks against the wall? With this configuration the local stations only need one island platform, would not need twice the number of stairs and elevators, and would not need cross-overs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CenSin Posted April 8, 2015 Share #9265 Posted April 8, 2015 With the NYC subway's Express/Local configuration on the lines with mezzanines, would it have been cheaper to build the express tracks against the wall? With this configuration the local stations only need one island platform, would not need twice the number of stairs and elevators, and would not need cross-overs. Well, most of them had no mezzanines with local platforms directly under the sidewalks. From a cost perspective, the commonly-found express-local setup we currently see was probably better. The secondary advantage to the setup was that local tracks would have to curve away from the express tracks to make space for the island platforms at the express stations; the express tracks would be more or less tangent, and could pull in and out of the station at higher speeds. With the opposite configuration (express tracks on the outside), island platforms would be enabled, but a mezzanine would have to be built, increasing the depth of the tunnels that would have to be dug. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
