The interiors are dimmer and more beat up than the slightly older R142/a's. The R142s and R142As could use a touching up as well (and even the R160s). As it is, it's a travesty that the R188 conversions didn't at the very least get new lights or a touchup. Although has been mentioned earlier, they were supposed to get cleaned per the conversion, but of course that got dropped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The R143s are just fine the way they are and a train getting the "Cuomo" treatment usually means loss of seats, no thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you like dirty trains and sprint for seats... the really should have gotten the same treatment the cars got, imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGA Link N Train Posted November 20, 2017 Share #17154 Posted November 20, 2017 Of you wanna cuomoize any trains, I'd do it with necessary flip seats like in a few R142's, the R211 renderings, etc. . Taking away seats won't do enough 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTrainUK Posted November 20, 2017 Share #17155 Posted November 20, 2017 Took the today for the first time in a little while, and it made me wonder: when was the last time anything other than an R160 ran on it, and what type of train was it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time the ever ran another train car was in the late 2000's, and I think it was a bunch of R32's and 42's that have since been scrapped. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The early 90’s it was R46. 2001-2009 it was all R32. Mid to late 2008-2010 it was R32, R40M/R42’s this was when the R160’s started to arrive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm correct, the last time OTTs ran on the was the final week of 2008, which was with R32s and a few R40M/42s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence St Posted November 21, 2017 Share #17160 Posted November 21, 2017 You know what really erks me? It's how the MTA isn't consistent with their planned service changes. Last Sunday, when the wasn't running between Hewes St and Broad St, I saw the service poster at Canal St when I got off the and it said to take the uptown to Broadway-Laf and then the to get to Essex St where shuttle buses are available. So I went to the uptown platform and I found another poster that said uptown and trains were running express between Brooklyn Bridge and Grand Central. If the MTA wants to plan these things, they should at LEAST include other G.O's in posters to not have this issue where one poster tells someone to take an uptown when uptown trains aren't even running local. Not only that, I've noticed the last few times the MTA has had a Lex Express G.O for all three lines, they didn't even bother to tape off the local platform at 14th St-Union Square, and about 20 people wasted an hour waiting for a local that was never going to come. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main reason the has been 98% 60' cars is because of its heavy ridership and the fact that R46s don't handle crowds as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted November 22, 2017 Share #17162 Posted November 22, 2017 There was a period in like 08 or 09 where the was 100% R46, it didn't last very long though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulrivera Posted November 23, 2017 Share #17164 Posted November 23, 2017 (edited) I love how the MTA just admitted that there's zero work going on in the Clark Street tunnel today.

GreatOne2k Posted November 23, 2017 Share #17167 Posted November 23, 2017 (edited) Good news is for those in Manhattan and the Bronx extended service. The would normally start late and end early on a 'normal' weekend schedule. runs better on the weekends than weekday (Monday-Thursday) evenings. MTA also saves money as long as these changes are in effect. The is also extended late night and early morning to 14 St (instead of 42 St), so there is another positive.

paulrivera Posted November 23, 2017 Share #17168 Posted November 23, 2017 I mean I could understand for a Monday holiday (Christmas and New Years come to mind) but a Thursday holiday where people specifically need to go to the West Side for the parade? That’s not fair for Brooklyn riders. Speaking of New Years tho... New Years Eve is on a Sunday; are they still going to close the Clark tube on that day as well? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, MTA made the / swap regular weekend service until Summer 2018 so the Clark Street Tunnels will be closed that day. The tunnels will also be closed on President's Day and Memorial Day as well. The tunnels were also closed on 4th of July (Tuesday). Edited November 23, 2017 by GreatOne2k 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to defend these folks, but the services on Thursday were according to the official schedule in place through next year. It may be a major variance from the normal weekday schedule but it was not a variance of the present normal weekend schedule. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but I am saying that they could have a supplement schedule ready for holidays that use weekend schedules but don't have work done on the tubes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatOne2k Posted November 24, 2017 Share #17174 Posted November 24, 2017 Subway Time showed the Clark Street tunnels open after 1am for some reason with the to Brooklyn and the as a Dyre shuttle. The was shown to be ending at 42 St, MTA needs to fix those errors, as the Sunday (2)/(3)/(5) schedules should have been in effect until 5am, not 12-1am. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing a sign at Fulton Street saying the closure ended at 1 AM Friday when I was transferring to the Train the day before Thanksgiving. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
