There's nothing different about the cars, they're still maintained in their respective yards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least in this scenario, they could get the attention of the conductor without pulling the Emergency Brake... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MassTransitHonchkrow Posted August 26, 2016 Share #13359 Posted August 26, 2016 Id rather not relive that crowding MTH...I never noticed. Every train I rode was stark empty. Everyone seems to hate the so much, you think they'd be relieved. Nope. I made snow angels at Canal Street that day...

Everyone seems to hate the so much, you think they'd be relieved. Nope. I made snow angels at Canal Street that day... [emoji12] Sent from my m8 using Tapatalk Depends on when you rode it. I had to go into Manhattan that day and came in around 11:30 AM on an empty R160 . When I went back home around 2:30 however, Broadway and the was a shit show; trains were ending at Whitehall and trains were non existent. The was the first train to come into 8 Street-NYU, so I hoped that to Whitehall and waited for the which was a packed to the gills R46. This crowding situation was only for a couple hours however. When the was cut back to 59 Street in Brooklyn and Lexington Avenue in Manhattan, the reliability shot back up (Turning the few trains running between Whitehall and 57 Street into extra trains also helped). So yeah between 2PM when the was cut in Brooklyn and 4PM when the was truncated and suspended, the was the only sure thing running on Broadway and packed to the gills.

NewFlyer 230 Posted August 27, 2016 Share #13361 Posted August 27, 2016 So we all know that the Second Ave Line will open up later this year and the will be diverted there. Could there possibly be a code for the to go there too since they can cross tracks before Lexington 63rd Ave? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cl94 Posted August 27, 2016 Share #13362 Posted August 27, 2016 So we all know that the Second Ave Line will open up later this year and the will be diverted there. Could there possibly be a code for the to go there too since they can cross tracks before Lexington 63rd Ave? Theoretically if something Fs up the 63rd Street tunnel and an is at 57th Street. They'd just route most of them through 53rd Street with delays and possibly have an short-turn on Second Avenue to reduce the issues. Not sending the to Queens would require extending the , which would be more trouble than it's worth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted August 27, 2016 Share #13363 Posted August 27, 2016 Anything's possible. If there's still service to Queens from Queens Plaza and (F)'s are being rerouted via Crosstown, sure they would send a couple of (F)'s to 96th St. If there's enough capacity, take advantage of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the MTA can make a code for the to Canarsie or the to Rockaway Park, why not make a code that has more of a chance of happening?

Didn't someone on here mention a or code to 96th existing. I don't really follow up on the subway forum like I used to so I only capture a few things here and there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Around the Horn Posted August 27, 2016 Share #13367 Posted August 27, 2016 I went to the High Line today and took the to Hudson Yards to get there. The train had a decent crowd. There was about 10 people in my car and 20 or so, in the car next to mine. Seems most people were going to either the Boltbus, Megabus or the High Line... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted August 27, 2016 Share #13368 Posted August 27, 2016 Question, what exactly caused the R142 fiasco on the a few months back? Was it because of the switch problems at 96th St? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really look forward to that. I usually take the from Grand Central to Times Square back to Queens just so I can get a seat because it's annoying standing from Grand Central to Flushing Main Street especially after a long day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Around the Horn Posted August 28, 2016 Share #13370 Posted August 28, 2016 Is there something going on with the R46s? The was wall to wall R160s today; during my two trips I saw 10 R160s and only 2 R46s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The was wall to wall R160s today; during my two trips I saw 10 R160s and only 2 R46s. Maybe. Remember the R46s are nearing their retiring age, so they might not be able to run as often as they could before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javier Posted August 28, 2016 Share #13375 Posted August 28, 2016 Good News and bad news. Good news is that they fixed the Rector St program for the . Bad news is that it sounds like a spliced mess. The first part comes from the Lex announcments, the second is 7th Avenue announcing Rector St, and then followed by the usual "2 train." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
