N6 Limited Posted July 9, 2017 Share #16233 Posted July 9, 2017 If the went to Lefferts, wouldn't they need several more trains to maintain service levels? Or, would every other train turn at Howard Beach? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far Rock Depot Posted July 9, 2017 Share #16236 Posted July 9, 2017 Another issue with that which most ignore is that there would be another merge at Euclid.I always bring that up. And the fact that now you'll have Rockaway trains more crowded until Rockaway blvd because of it as well. No one listens. Even if you're from Rockaway and remember when the C use to go to Rockaway. No one listens. Sent from my LGLS755 using Tapatalk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jemorie Posted July 9, 2017 Share #16237 Posted July 9, 2017 (edited) I'm not even sure if I agree with having the go to Lefferts and having all 's go to Howard Beach/The Rockaways. As for N6 Limited, yes you do in fact need some more cars for this particular service pattern. Edited July 9, 2017 by Jemorie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtatransit Posted July 10, 2017 Share #16238 Posted July 10, 2017 MTA could've left space at 34 Street-Hudson Yard for a West Side Mall... Could've earned future revenue back to the MTA.

Could've earned future revenue back to the MTA. Like the WTC Oculus which cost 4B but overtime will earn some of it back Considering, there's going to be an even bigger mall less than block away in the Hudson Yards development, I doubt that would make the MTA much money. Expanding TurnStyle to other Midtown subway corridors (Gimbels corridor, the 35th-40th St passageway under 6th Avenue, the passageway between 7th and 8th Avenues under 14th Street) would be a better investment.

Looking at the amount of foot traffic and upscale stores, in 20 years it will probably earned back what it invested Considering, there's going to be an even bigger mall less than block away in the Hudson Yards development, I doubt that would make the MTA much money.

I mean when they were building the station, could've added provisions for storefronts in the mezzanine level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RestrictOnTheHanger Posted July 10, 2017 Share #16242 Posted July 10, 2017 So what caused the massive congestion along the QBL express this morning? A tweet was sent out saying that MTA is working to get the line back to good service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MassTransitHonchkrow Posted July 10, 2017 Share #16243 Posted July 10, 2017 Just a slight correction, the 142's have shown up on the in the past, but they're not officially assigned to the line. And they're made by Bombadier. The R142A's are Kawasaki. thanks for clarifying. I figured discrepancies existed in my logic. Let me know if you see any R142 or R142A stop at St. Nicholas Ave and 125th St in passenger service. If this is regarding an earlier comment, It was never in passenger service. It was passing through and apparently it got stuck, forcing the daisy-chaining of three trains, in which we were evacuated through one car poking in from the back of the uptown platform. When I went to the center, a 5-car set that was very narrow and had been in revenue service elsewhere in the system was in front. You know, I wouldn't be cracking jokes about that section of the system right now... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MassTransitHonchkrow Posted July 10, 2017 Share #16244 Posted July 10, 2017 You may know the difference between the New Techs, but your original post says so much different about your story. 125th and St Mich on the A. The stalled train you said was an R143. Now its an R142. In the B division. You know, it could've been an R188. If it were an R143 I wouldn't have looked as hard because the form factor wouldn't be an attention grabber in that part of the system. The R143? That was genuinely a typo. I never meant it. But it was narrower than the platform. Crazy yuge gap. Like West Farms Square, but twice as big. When you reply from a mobile client, sometimes you hit keys that are too close to each other. This is why I prefer replying at the library or on my desktop client, where I can assess the full breadth of comments on a nice large screen and keys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RR503 Posted July 10, 2017 Share #16245 Posted July 10, 2017 (edited) Can't we move on from this? In other news, I waited 40 minutes for an F train yesterday afternoon... Ideas as to why?
