Daniel The Cool Posted May 6, 2017 Share #15676 Posted May 6, 2017 And now, no program to OR from 96th Street. Actually a few of the cars does have the program according to an employee in one of the transit groups. Why isn't it used? I have no idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Pond Posted May 6, 2017 Share #15677 Posted May 6, 2017 No program to E180 st also. Unrelated note, rode a R68A G train today. Is that rare? And also do G trains share cars with the B? Sent from my iPhone using NYC Transit Forums mobile app R68As on the are nowhere near rare. Since the is out of Coney Island with the naturally they share cars 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BreeddekalbL Posted May 7, 2017 Share #15681 Posted May 7, 2017 It would be nice to give them some upgrade. i agree especially to where the conductors or t/o's can control the roll signs instead of the hex keys to where it can be vandalized by someone who has the key. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't the Digital display testing happening now be connected to that possibility?

I think there is a small chance an R143 can pop up on the to 96 St. Your right actually. I know somebody at ENY now and he said they was sending CBTC 160s if they had to out on the M today because they cant get caught in queens so it doesnt matter.

Exactly because about half of the train fleet is stored at Jamaica Yard/Hillside Avenue Express tracks every night and every weekend till the AM Rush. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides the ongoing LED sign tests, that idea died when the MTA chairman at the time (Walder if I'm not mistaken) stepped down from the position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3F Posted May 7, 2017 Share #15689 Posted May 7, 2017 Unlike at Pelham Bay Park, it appears that the side platforms at 242nd Street are useless because they do not reach the southern ends of 10-car trains. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N6 Limited Posted May 7, 2017 Share #15690 Posted May 7, 2017 If they were to expand the Jamaica Yard, how much more space would they need? Are train yards ever double decked? (besides say179th Street/Hillside) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(besides say179th Street/Hillside) IINM, the reason the yard east of 179 and Hillside is double decked is because of provisions for the line to branch out further into Queens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLiveRock Posted May 7, 2017 Share #15693 Posted May 7, 2017 Ugh, the GO was orchestrated terribly. Both uptown and downtown almost every other rider was very confused... Doesn't help that all Broadway service was f**ked, of course, but still. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence St Posted May 7, 2017 Share #15694 Posted May 7, 2017 I mean that's what you get when you don't put in programs that reflect where the train is going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLiveRock Posted May 7, 2017 Share #15695 Posted May 7, 2017 I mean that's what you get when you don't put in programs that reflect where the train is going. Yeah, but there weren't signs in the stations or anything either, and the train crew weren't much help from what I saw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Far Rock Depot Posted May 7, 2017 Share #15696 Posted May 7, 2017 Yeah, but there weren't signs in the stations or anything either, and the train crew weren't much help from what I saw.Signs were all along the L line(which is why M trains were extended in the first place.

What do you mean? There were signs at every station on Sixth Avenue explaining the service pattern and even in the 14th Street transfer passage too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were signs at every station on Sixth Avenue explaining the service pattern and even in the 14th Street transfer passage too. They know it's the what I saw was that a lot of the passenger thought it was going to "Queens". They realize their mistakes at 96 Street. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
