Eric B Posted October 4, 2012 Share #31 Posted October 4, 2012 They never did this all the time I worked the on weekends and I waited for any sort of G.O. (Though the eventually started doing the Crescent St. again, which continues). They're going back to throwing everybody out at Hewes, instead of just using one of the platforms at Marcy. Not only do crews have to clean out the train and relay, but then, the bus going the extra blocks to Hewes is slow! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDTA Posted October 7, 2012 Share #35 Posted October 7, 2012 R142As in Flatbush!!!!! Oh yeah I'm foaming I usually only see bombardier 142s, now 142A's are gonna be running down there! I can't wait! Today I got to ride the 62s on the Nostrand Branch on the S/B track.... I ridden Redbirds, the 110A, 142s and the 62s on those rails. Needless to say the ride was rough (Braking wise) I remember the Redbirds being much smoother and was only bucky on takeoff. Riding N/B on the 62s had me reminiscing about when Redbirds ran on the line, I don't have many positive memories in life I enjoyed riding those trains back in the day, the 62s are not quite the same as the Redbirds but its close enough. Now I hope they have a G.O someday where the the goes to Flatbush so I could ride a 142A on the line. Oh my @ listening to the 142A poplusion sing a tune as it pulls into Flatbush Terminal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysterious2train Posted October 13, 2012 Share #38 Posted October 13, 2012 The GO with the to Crescent St skipping Canal St and Bowery is happening again, 6 AM to 6 PM today and tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowblock Posted October 13, 2012 Share #39 Posted October 13, 2012 (edited) Anyone want to take a guess as to why this GO is gonna be in effect for pretty much the rest of 2012 beginning the first weekend of November? The way the mta site writes it up is misleading. 's will actually be operating betweeen DYRE and Flatbush, with shuttle trains between 241 and 180. Service operates in two sections: 1. Between 241 St and E 180 St 2. Between E 180 St* and Flatbush Av • Transfer between trains at E 180 St to continue your trip. * trains replace the between Dyre Av and E 180 St during this time. service suspended completely Edited October 13, 2012 by Snowblock 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NX Express Posted October 13, 2012 Share #40 Posted October 13, 2012 Don't they usually avoid doing large GOs like that (no at all) during the holiday season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowblock Posted October 13, 2012 Share #41 Posted October 13, 2012 (edited) Usually, but this one is scheduled to run through Dec 23. This is actually the ONLY weekend GO currently on the radar for December (unless you want to count Knickerbocker being closed and the usual viaduct stuff). The is the bah-humbug line......

Amtrak7 Posted October 20, 2012 Share #43 Posted October 20, 2012 Has the via 8 Av GO been canceled this weekend? Its no longer on the MTA site, but the express is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lance Posted October 20, 2012 Share #44 Posted October 20, 2012 From iTrans NYC Subway: FYI, the C line reroute is still in there, but I'd assume it was cancelled as well since the only reason the C was running express is because the D is running via 8th Avenue on the local tracks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrivera Posted October 20, 2012 Share #45 Posted October 20, 2012 The weekend of November 17-18 is gonna be interesting for people along Fulton Street in Brooklyn: - Far Rockaway trains rerouted to Rockaway Park - Runs only between 168 St-2 Av - to Euclid during the day and Lefferts at night. I guess the to Lefferts thing really does save money compared to having both and trains turning at Euclid if they are doing it again... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton Express Posted October 20, 2012 Share #46 Posted October 20, 2012 Guess we are going to see some R160 this weekend. This is what they did with some of the trains last time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtrak7 Posted October 21, 2012 Share #47 Posted October 21, 2012 Now that I think of it...why did the MTA send the to South Ferry instead of turning the at Atlantic and sending the to Flatbush? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDTA Posted October 21, 2012 Share #48 Posted October 21, 2012 Now that I think of it...why did the MTA send the to South Ferry instead of turning the at Atlantic and sending the to Flatbush? Because the MTA loves us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollOver Posted October 21, 2012 Share #49 Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) Now that I think of it...why did the MTA send the to South Ferry instead of turning the at Atlantic and sending the to Flatbush? I think sending the to Flatbush gives Nostrand Avenue residents two options for either East Side or West Side of Manhattan like the regular / weekday set up. It also helps reduce transfers for those who want Manhattan's East Side by transferring to the had the ran along with the via Nostrand and had the originate at Atlantic instead. The becomes completely packed at rush hour after its first stop at Utica whenever the comes or how the platforms often get crowded from my experience. I also think having the originate at South Ferry reduces the transfers to the Express on the Broadway-Seventh Avenue Line. Riders at South Ferry and Rector Street who want express service can stay on the all the way without transferring (unless if they need WPR service via the of course). Both the and run at abysmal headways on weekends so instead of transfering at Nevins in both directions, riders can stay on the or the entire way down and to also transfer at Franklin for the IRT Livonia Avenue Line shuttle buses that makes all the stops between Franklin and New Lots. I also think that it reduces the switching crew for the Eastern Parkway Line. Instead of having two switching crews at Atlantic and Franklin respectively, you only have one at Franklin for the Nostrand Avenue Junction. They already have switching crew at the South Ferry and Flatbush Avenue terminals and even at Chambers so its a win-for-win. Just my opinion by the way.

Snowblock Posted October 22, 2012 Share #50 Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) Wow, that's way too many bullets for my fragile mind to decipher, so I'm gonna ignore the above post and give the answer. If the 4 turns at Atlantic, then riders who are going to Franklin and Utica from the east side are going to have to transfer to the 2 or 3, and THEN transfer to a bus. Sending the 4 to Franklin gives them a direct transfer to the buses. Sending the 3 to South Ferry is not a big deal, because riders going to Brooklyn can take the 2 on the SAME platform instead. I doubt there are many riders going from 148/145 to south of Franklin. In other words, the 4 to Flat and the 3 to South Ferry inconviences passengers a lot less than the 4 to Atlantic and the 3 to Flat would.
