There is a specific position for clearing out tree branches from local tracks—and another one for clearing tree branches from express tracks. Just what the union demanded for it's workers. I would have cleared it myself if I was late. How big was that tree branch? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteriousBtrain is right though. People will become baffled once the terminates at 145th Street after finishing its trip from Bedford Park. It's a better idea to run extra trains instead. Most of the displaced Jerome Avenue Line riders are heading all the way towards Midtown and Downtown anyway (other displaced Jerome Avenue Line riders can get off at 125th Street for a crosstown bus heading towards the East Side) as well as the Grand Concourse Line riders themselves. The on the other hand isn't confusing because ever since it got revived, people are already used to its current routing design, running between Astoria and Whitehall instead of calling it "extra trains".

People will recognize the as a supplemental line as it always is. Basically confirmed that it's not the same thing. Let's go through more comparisons then. between 149 St and Bowling Green. Already has weekend service so it's not really much of a difference if it was called extra s. (before SAS) between 57 St and Atlantic Av. is already known as the weekend express on Broadway so it makes sense. between 96 St and Metropolitan Av. 6 Av service from Metropolitan Av is most commonly known as . Same thing with between Astoria and Whitehall St as stated above. between Bedford Park and 145 St. First of all how often do we even get the outside of rush hours? Second when was the last time the ran weekends? Another point to bring up is the Yankees/Soccer specials. Do we even get those signed as let alone like that? Most are just "Special". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
