Axis Posted May 27, 2019 Share #21377 Posted May 27, 2019 I’ve got questions myself...why are there trains [supposedly] operating at all (much less to the Bronx this late into the evening rush) on a day like today? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RR503 Posted May 27, 2019 Share #21378 Posted May 27, 2019 This seems to be a bunch of Yankees trains returning north in service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean going to the Bronx, without passengers: they're baseball special trains going back to the yard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIP Posted May 28, 2019 Share #21382 Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) They’re finally getting around to Deep cleaning Jamaica’s R160’s. R160’s 9778-9782/9498-9502 is the first set I’ve seen deep cleaned pulling put of CI yard this afternoon.

Calvin Posted May 29, 2019 Share #21384 Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) Those Cuomo 160s may be getting the clean treatment as well. However, 1/2 cuomo is mostly what you see now (the full train broke up). (Ex. 9128-9132/9513-8517 Edited May 29, 2019 by Calvin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VIP Posted May 29, 2019 Share #21386 Posted May 29, 2019 R160’s 9767-9763 & 9303-9307/9362-9358 have been deep cleaned. (For anyone looking to capture these sets for before/after comparison to the worn out Jamaica sets). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axis Posted May 30, 2019 Share #21389 Posted May 30, 2019 The train I’m on left Jamaica Center at 905 PM and has been going sooooooooooooooooo painfully slow for the entire time it’s on QBL. Like...it REALLY does not need to take an hour to get from Jamaica Center to Port Authority. And there REALLY REALLY is no need for an train to take much longer than an train leaving Forest Hills at the same time to reach Queens Plaza. i.e.; I should’ve just transferred to the at Forest Hills. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axis Posted May 30, 2019 Share #21391 Posted May 30, 2019 Rode this exact same trip not even two weeks ago. Left Jamaica at 9:10, arrived at Port Authority at 9:43. No excuses for incompetence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason why it went back in service Uptown rather than deadheading back to Concourse Yard was due to beach crowds leaving Brighton Beach. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jemorie Posted May 30, 2019 Share #21393 Posted May 30, 2019 On 5/26/2019 at 7:41 PM, Around the Horn said: One of the statements that constantly get repeated around here is the idea that "The old was empty" (and/or useless or whatever description you choose). It is because West End customers want Chinatown/Midtown Manhattan service rather than Downtown Manhattan service. Same with Sea Beach. That is why the was not well used. During the AM Rush, keep in mind it was pretty crowded heading from Northern Brooklyn to Manhattan (like it still is today) because it is the only line serving Flushing, Lorimer, and Hewes on that stretch while the / skip them during this time. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's their probably wasn't any track workers doing what they do on your trip two weeks ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is certainly NOT good service. 2 hours ago, Elmhurst said: https://www.reddit.com/r/nycrail/comments/buna5m/a_different_kind_of_straphanger/ Clearly a case of fare evasion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNewYorkElevated Posted May 30, 2019 Share #21398 Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) There was some overcrowding at 79th Street on the train last night during the PM rush thanks to an entrance on the other side that is closed for repairs. http://gothamist.com/2019/05/29/video_subway_platform_overcrowding.php As a longtime line rider since childhood, I feel like service is slowly on the decline. Just today, I was on a Bronx-bound train that went express to 145th Street because of a train at 137th Street that had some issues. The needs an improvement in terms of timing and more attention from the in general as it has been getting crowded from riders of the , , and , especially the weekends.

kosciusko Posted May 30, 2019 Share #21399 Posted May 30, 2019 Has anyone looked into whether or not the HEETs are effective at combating farebeating? Often times I see people who are trying to exit just go for the emergency door to avoid dealing with them which leads to a flow of people bypassing fare control via the door. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEETs are effective, which is why they were installed in the first place. The problem is the emergency exits. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
