Sending the to Brooklyn is a non-starter as you would kill capacity and open it up to all sorts of problems by sending via Cranberry and Fulton. No not really... runs local while the maintains CPW Express. I dont understand how the kills capacity when it can merge just fine with the at Canal St. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would happen If the R46s started having catastrophic problems forcing the MTA to retire the whole fleet (like the R44s did). How would you manage the fleet to provide service? Hopefully they hold up till 2022. Suspend both and , takes all the car and run local. runs local in Queens. Suspend to feed or extend and to cover in Brooklyn. become shuttle (using R42) between Myrtle Ave and Metropolitan Ave. runs with those 8-car set train. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QM1to6Ave Posted May 7, 2019 Share #21189 Posted May 7, 2019 First time for everything...I was on the and we pull into Grand Central mid-morning. As the doors open, a young Asian woman starts screaming as a Black teenager goes "Apple picking" (aka grabs her phone out of her hand). The black guy starts running down the platform as the platform conductor radios for police. After a minute of commotion, the perp is out of our sight and we figure a cop happened to catch him because our C/R closes down and we start to move...but as we pull into the tunnel, we see the perp with his jacket flipped inside out casually walk back to the end of the platform to wait for the next train. I hope he was still being watched by the platform conductors, but I have a bad feeling he got away clean. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R68OnBroadway Posted May 7, 2019 Share #21194 Posted May 7, 2019 Here’s a way to improve transfers between the IND and BMT/IRT in Brooklyn: -build a new passageway between Jay St and Borough Hall (you would have to close the platform at Jay though). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I once was on one like that back in 2012 (I remember getting on at 157th and having a very quick ride to 59th in like 10-15 mins; it could have been 137-96 though) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q23 via 108 Posted May 8, 2019 Share #21200 Posted May 8, 2019 10 hours ago, Bay Ridge Express said: NTTs everywhere! The horror! /s The Subway is going to have two types of cars. The NTTs and the open gangway R2XXs. Its going to be really bland since the post 90s cars are so similar. A Transit fan will tell the difference. But to the average person, they are nearly identical. The only main thing separating the NTTs are the Propulsion sounds. Other than that, they look the same on both the interior and exterior. Besides sound (and maybe some little things here and there) What's different about a R142 - R142A - and R188? What's different about an R143, R160A, R160B, R179. To me, they are all the same train. And the subway system is getting more stale by the day. There is a reason why people mainly fan on the and . There's mad diversity (R32, R46, R68, R179, R211 in the future) Compare it to the where it just has 1 car type. Liked it better when you could on any line and expect anything to show up. Now I don't hate NTTs, but when we got a fleet that has very cars similar on almost every subway line, its going to become stale. Like besides the noise it makes, what's the difference of catching an R160 Alstom vs a R160 Siemens on the . Or catching a R143 or R160 on the . Its all the same. 50 years from now I'm probably going to find the Subway Stations more interesting than the actual rolling stock we will have. (I love the newly updated 28 St, the stations in 50 years are going to look great). But the NTTs do their job, and I hope they last long, but you gotta admit that the subway is loosing its "charm". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
