Fresh Pond Posted March 8, 2017 Share #15126 Posted March 8, 2017 Actually, it was limited to the fleet that then ran on the 4. We're talking back in the mid 90's. The fleet has shuffled around since then.

Around the Horn Posted March 8, 2017 Share #15128 Posted March 8, 2017 The Enhanced Station Initiative kicks into high gear this month: -53rd Street will close completely on March 27th (the 52 Street exit has already been closed for a week or two) -the 68 Street exit at Bay Ridge Av will close on March 13th for complete replacement It has not been officially confirmed yet, but there are rumors that Bay Ridge Avenue will close sometime in April (I would assume the second or third week). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted March 8, 2017 Share #15129 Posted March 8, 2017 My last four or five rides on the line have all been R160s, feels like the line from 2008 - 2014. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agar io Posted March 9, 2017 Share #15131 Posted March 9, 2017 I thought this was me, but this has been going on probably since the updates. Whenever I'm on an uptown exiting Broadway-Lafayette, the announcements go on to say "This is a Queens......" before announcing it is at West 4th Street without moving a single inch. : screwing up announcements since 2013. Not only that, but also the train announces "This is 14th Street..." before the even curves onto 6 Av. That is really annoying, and the MTA should fix it. I've seen confused tourists wondering about this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around the Horn Posted March 9, 2017 Share #15133 Posted March 9, 2017 Yeah I keep getting 32's and then it's non stop 42s, 160s and 143s on the other direction... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On an unrelated note, there was a weird swap in terms of the tracks they used... There was a on the express, and a on the local... however the next local was a ... Why would that happen?

S78 via Hylan Posted March 10, 2017 Share #15136 Posted March 10, 2017 At the end of the day, I care less about variety and more about reaching my destinations quickly since I don't fan often like I used to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteriousBtrain Posted March 10, 2017 Share #15139 Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) For the weekend G.O? What are the times they operate to/from 86th Street?Why would they add extra s from Brooklyn during weekends? Especially since they shouldn't be operating that time anyway? During midday hours of the G/O, there are additional trains to/from Gravesend-86 St.The Astoria G.O.? That seems interesting. I also heard some s run on West End during the Sea Beach G.O.s too. Unrelated, but apparently an has appeared today due to some sort of incident that happened today. Ran on West End and everything.

Calvin Posted March 10, 2017 Share #15141 Posted March 10, 2017 For the weekend G.O? What are the times they operate to/from 86th Street? For the weekend, that's only if the isn't operating along 42 St and I know there's 2 around 2:20-2:50PM starting at 86 St from CI Yard. There is a to 86 St after the regular 9:17AM via Whitehall St somewhere around 10:50-11AM it gets to the Yard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it went BIE on the uptown track, isn't there a switch right before to allow trains to switch between 8th and 6th Avenue? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on exactly where it went B.I.E. Maybe it occupied the switch, making it unusable. I imagine the inability to utilize that flexibility pretty much put the uptown local track out of service. Squeezing the and onto the uptown express tracks doesn’t seem to be a good idea with the and running. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence St Posted March 10, 2017 Share #15145 Posted March 10, 2017 Still, trains could've have been sent via 8th Avenue, trains could have been suspended or truncated to Whitehall St. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Far Rock Depot Posted March 10, 2017 Share #15146 Posted March 10, 2017 Here's what I understood of the incident: a southbound F went BIE between Bway/Laf and W4. There was an M right behind it. They wrong railed that M back to west 4 and discharged. The switches between the 6th and 8th ave lines are south of W4.

LongLiveRock Posted March 10, 2017 Share #15148 Posted March 10, 2017 Completely random question, but what do y'all think the least used transfer in the system is? (Excluding local-express and same-track transfers, of course) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep there are (W)s that run on West End when the Astoria and via West End occurs.
