CenSin Posted March 1, 2017 Share #15076 Posted March 1, 2017 Both the N and the Q run local overnights. The Q switches to the local track N/B before prince st and switches back south of 57/7. They don't "trip over each other". And yes, during overnights the Q makes all local stops from Canal to 57/7. I was referring to the 1 hour when the and are the Broadway locals and the is the sole Broadway express. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now as to relays from a few posts back, yes, the F relays at 179. Always does. It arrives on the east bound platform and departs from the westbound platform. relays includes: Bronx: 205 , Parkcester Manhattan: 168th , Brooklyn Bridge , Bowling Green , Broad St , Chambers (J and M when needed) (not sure about overnight 3 train) Queens: 71/Forest Hills , 179 (F, E), Broad Channel (Rockaway Blvd-Summer weekends only)Rock Pk Shuttle Brooklyn: Church Ave , Euclid (C and Lefferts Shuttle), Utica , Kings Hwy (F, only during the rehab) Sent from my LGLS755 using Tapatalk Technically, Brooklyn Bridge and Bowling Green aren't relays since the cabs themselves don't reverse direction. (The trains turn around, so you'd have the same leading car even though the train is operating in the reverse direction.) I think a nice QoL improvement would be to extend it to 14 St, for access to Penn Station and the . That would be an interesting improvement. Let's hope that if this were ever implemented, the MTA doesn't always schedule overnight construction to make the run local.

Wow. That’s one way to do it. I don’t suppose the could do that from 86 Street if that long stretch of track to Coney Island were out of service due to a train with mechanical problems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Posted March 2, 2017 Share #15081 Posted March 2, 2017 Forgot to metion a few things, at Myrtle-Wyckoff does a relay. Also, the to 137 St-City College does a relay during the AM, IIRC 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel The Cool Posted March 2, 2017 Share #15082 Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) The buffer period where subway service shifts from the daytime service patterns to the late night service pattern is really interesting. I've been looking at the Transit app and noticed that on Broadway: from roughly 9-10, it follows the daytime service pattern: express, local from roughly 10-11 the stops running, the is express and the are the locals after 11 the stops running, local For example, at Prince Street right now, the next Brooklyn bound is 3 minutes away, followed by a Brooklyn bound 10 minutes away. Thats not correct. The first to run local Manhattan leaves 96th Street at 23:23 and 23:02 out of Coney Island. After the ends the runs local by itself until 11 PM. The first Southbound Local local is the first one to go via Montague/4th Avenue local. The first northbound local on Broadway however is the last one to go via the Manhattan Bridge.

Then the MTA has some serious issues with its GTFS data that need to be fixed... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteriousBtrain Posted March 4, 2017 Share #15087 Posted March 4, 2017 I believe the is skipping 155th this time around. When the ends at 161, one platform is used for terminating trains. One direction has to use the middle track to get to 161 and terminate there, therefore skipping 155th St in one direction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted March 4, 2017 Share #15088 Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) Are there any put-in's at Canal St for tomorrow's extra service for the as well as on Sunday? Also, some of the trains that usually terminate at Mets-Wilets Point were changed to 111 St during the rush hour.

It's buried deep in there so conductors wouldn't know the code. Interesting. There were at one point in time, options to both E 180 Street and Dyre Av for the trains, as evidenced by the following videos: Whether they were removed in system updates remains to be seen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D to Burke Avenue Posted March 4, 2017 Share #15093 Posted March 4, 2017 If there isn't a to E 180 St program, why not suspend the and replace it with to Utica Avenue? BTW, I did saw an R142A at Simpson St signed up as a to Utica. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S78 via Hylan Posted March 4, 2017 Share #15096 Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) I spotted some trains to B'way Junction that has this program: "VIA 63 ST/6 AV LOCAL" "BWAY BKLYN LCL" "BROADWAY JUNCTION" (This part scrolls) Others had their usual 53 ST/6 AV LOCAL reading. There doesn't seem to be a program from Broadway Junction as the conductor/operator made manual announcements until Myrtle-Broadway.

LegoBrickBreaker101 Posted March 4, 2017 Share #15099 Posted March 4, 2017 The trains, once they hit the WPR Line, either had the "Last Stop" or "Not In Service" designations, and very few of them either were just signed up as a to Woodlawn or a to East 180th Street. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted March 5, 2017 Share #15100 Posted March 5, 2017 Today one of the trains went express from 3rd Ave-149th to E180. it passed the local N/B I was on at Simpson street. Thought it was odd the send the right behind the one I was on express rather than the first train. Today I noticed that when the 142A's brakes release the cars sightly lift up by a couple of inches, all these years I been riding those cars and I just noticed that today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
