Cait Sith Posted July 18, 2016 Share #12977 Posted July 18, 2016 Dude search it up. In some rare occasions like for example, say the is rerouted via the or line, the operator has the option to switch to the rerouted line it's running as an example it can turn into a or train.Operators do not have the option to switch.....they are told where to go by supervisors and dispatchers in the event something happens. No operator acts on Instinct. Stop trying to fool members on here. Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaTransitMan4608 Posted July 18, 2016 Share #12978 Posted July 18, 2016 I'm gonna drop my two cents on this whole R142/A's on the thing. The only time I've seen 142s head north of 96th on the , they weren't in service (been meaning to ask someone here why they would send 142s up that line when it's strictly R62/A's). As much as I would love for the to have NTTs, I know it's not gonna happen anytime soon unless the or Cuomo decides to change things or the riders complain loudly enough for them to order new trains or move some 142A's from the , which we all know isn't gonna happen. So until then, just deal with the R62/A trains and just ride the until the MTA decides to replace the 62s.

Jchambers2120 Posted July 18, 2016 Share #12979 Posted July 18, 2016 Does anybody know why the express section on the IRT Eastern Parkway Line has so many timers going northbound, but they're virtually nonexistent going s/b? Northbound seems like it's so delay prone, especially during rush hours because of the restricted speed while s/b it's about 3-4 minutes from Barclays to Franklin avenue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegoBrickBreaker101 Posted July 19, 2016 Share #12995 Posted July 19, 2016 For what ever reason, the first express in the Bronx during the PM rush is always a mess. I've rode the first express for the past 3 weeks from 145th Street, and everytime, the conductor announces that the next stop is Tremont Avenue, but the train always stops at 161st Street. Now, usually when the express stops at 161st, it bypasses 167th and continues express after that. But today, my train went from 145th to 161st, then made a stop at 167th, then resumed normal express service. I can understand the whole idea behind stopping at 161st Street, as it's the last transfer to the (or any line at that matter), but wouldn't the conductor and T/O know before hand (by at least 145th) that the train would stop at 161st Street? Seems a lot like poor communication... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted July 21, 2016 Share #13000 Posted July 21, 2016 (edited) You know, I've been hearing about a lot of trains in terrible condition, or way past their time (S.I's R44s, the R32/R42s). The bodies are all "rusted, worn out", the R44s "jerk on acceleration, have terrible suspension". My thing is, how are these trains' wheels & trucks? Running for 50+ years, I'm surprised they (god forbid), haven't had any derailments or anything of that matter from the mechanisms below the platform (obviously in the years past retirement time). Seeing an old train, the first thing I think about are the wheels, trucks, etc, and question if they are in good condition. I never see y'all talking about that with the trains.
