Eastman346 Posted June 20, 2008 Share #1 Posted June 20, 2008 I ask you do you think the , and lines need any more improvements than it already has. The and uses the NTTs and that's improvement already. The trains will get NTTs soon and run very well during the weekdays as is. Maybe I'm missing something. I think another line could have used some more improvements instead of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo M 201 Posted June 20, 2008 Share #2 Posted June 20, 2008 The can get a little better, also have faster headways like say weekends. The is just fine, can't complain about that line. The is just a supplement and service is just right for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastman346 Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share #3 Posted June 20, 2008 The can get a little better, also have faster headways like say weekends. So as far as weekend service headways its fine the way it is. The is just fine, can't complain about that line. My thoughts exactly. To me its fine the way it is. The is just a supplement and service is just right for it. I call it the filler and it works good when you need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3348 Posted June 20, 2008 Share #4 Posted June 20, 2008 The lines which had older cars were one of the first to get R160s. The used to run older cars, and so did the .

Bushwick Bill Posted June 20, 2008 Share #5 Posted June 20, 2008 I can say that the Broadway lines run very well. They can always improve on something. Bill (NYCT) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted June 20, 2008 Share #7 Posted June 20, 2008 The runs absolutely great 95% of the time during the weekdays. There are some uncontrollable situations far beyond the reach of anyone that can really screw it up. For the most part, it gets me to work on time everday.

MattTrain Posted June 20, 2008 Share #10 Posted June 20, 2008 IF the and were fully the R160A-B's then where would the R68/R68A cars go then? I don't know if that will ever happen, but it would be strange because the R68A cars are cool on the and too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a post about the running express on weekends... how bout running the local on weekends and the express, like weekday service? Or is ridership too low for that? I say no. Leave the as it is. Ridership is lower. I don't think they should run the express during the weekends because it would put more congestion on the . That means more wait time while connecting to a train. I DO think that more trains should be put up on the line especially when the (7)s G.O occur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superdotny Posted June 21, 2008 Share #13 Posted June 21, 2008 service has improved a lot with the NTTs. I would make one change to the N announcements on the weekends though. The usual announcement confuses the riders. It should like the northbound. "This is a Brooklyn-bound N train via the Bridge" or something like that. Ditto. Performs fine. It could use some NTTs. Hmm...the is lonely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3348 Posted June 21, 2008 Share #14 Posted June 21, 2008 Wait a sec... doesn't the run out of Jamaica Rumor has it that the was transferred to Coney Island, or already has been. None of the following, I repeat, NONE OF THE FOLLOWING IS BASED ON ANY EVIDENCE AND IS COMPLETELY UNFOUNDED, but if the R160A-2s of the base order go to the , the R46 will be sent to Jamaica for use on the or . This will mean less R32s on both lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton Local Posted June 21, 2008 Share #15 Posted June 21, 2008 Fine Leave the 68s/68A's:cool: Extended via 4 Av Local to either Bensonhurst-Bay Parkway via West End, Bay Ridge-95 St, or Gravesend-Kings Highway via Sea Beach, weekday middays, and perhaps rush hours; hence, re-routing the via Brighton Local to Brighton Beach or Coney Island.
