Do all signals immediately turn to red?

From what I've heard when redoing the Montague Tube after sandy, they did something with the roof of the tunnel that apparently made the R32's and R42's as well as Museum Trains too tall to enter the tubes, hence why they've been "banned". Not sure of the restriction is uplifted though, probably not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abba Posted August 1, 2019 Share #21807 Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) I was on a southbound train today ,it felt great to just go into 36th st with no stopping or anything like that .i was in the front and all signals just changed automatically like it used to before the express track shutdown. I’m sure the customers are the most happy with no ’s getting in the way in Brooklyn anymore .

Axis Posted August 1, 2019 Share #21808 Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) Just missed a Far Rockaway-bound train here at Fulton Center, because the I was on took too long to leave City Hall & go between City Hall & Fulton Center. Gotta now wait 20+ minutes for the next one. Once again, I propose for either a one-seat bus ride between Bronx & Five Towns/Far Rockaway, OR cross-honoring Unlimited Rides MetroCards between Jamaica & Cedarhurst, to compensate for the lack of competent MetroCard-able service in & out of Five Towns. Next person to suggest ‘car’ is dead to me. Edited August 1, 2019 by Axis 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much of no one is looking for a connection of that sort, and knowing that you're in an extremely niche market, take actual steps to plan around that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those trains are quite frequent relative to the rest of the system. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you should get a new one. 15 hours ago, Lex said: ....Much of no one is looking for a connection of that sort, and knowing that you're in an extremely niche market, take actual steps to plan around that. 11 hours ago, Lex said: 11 hours ago, Axis said: 17 hours ago, bwwnyc123 said: Take Q44SBS to either Q113 or Q114.

It's indicative of an absolvement of personal responsibility...... Niche market is right.....

Taking the and is still the most logical from my perspective as your ideas (from my view) likely won’t materialize, and the Q113/Q114 is more unreliable. As someone who rides the subways for more than an hour one way to get to work, bearing the ride from that far is usually key. otherwise you’ll never get to your destination at all, and may as well go somewhere closer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwwnyc123 Posted August 2, 2019 Share #21824 Posted August 2, 2019 Traveling from Bronx to Far Rockaway or Five Towns is a long hard travel either way and there is no market for a one seat ride because not everyone are traveling like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFlyer 230 Posted August 3, 2019 Share #21825 Posted August 3, 2019 I noticed the interior destination for the Metropolitan Ave bound trains have been changed to show “Middle Village” instead of “Metropolitan Ave” and on the FIND it say “Middle Village-Met Ave” as the last stop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
