Deucey Posted March 7, 2020 Share #2976 Posted March 7, 2020 Why are they even running between BG and GC/149th St? Seems to me it’d make more sense to just run more service instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it technically is a subset of the route so it’s not as if it adds confusion. The MTA probably thought it’d be less confusing to have 2 distinct designations rather than just the which may or may not short-turn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they ran the up to Burnside, uptown and trains were stopping on the middle track at 149th, so they wanted to avoid terminating trains at 149th holding up 's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far rockaway Posted March 9, 2020 Share #2985 Posted March 9, 2020 Since the would be suspended this upcoming weekend 3/14-15, would the use some of the 4 car r179 sets in which they can be coupled into 5 car sets or would they let the 4 car r179 sets rest for the weekend since the won't be running. And I wonder if the would use a couple of r32 trains. I don't know if the can handle the load along the local stops in brooklyn because some of those stops can have a good amount of ridership where it is busy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Far rockaway Posted March 9, 2020 Share #2986 Posted March 9, 2020 So I am guessing the would use the 145th st program to 168th st along the line or unless they have a 168th st program already installed on the r160s 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if the can handle the load along the local stops in brooklyn because some of those stops can have a good amount of ridership where it is busy. I doubt they’ll use the 4-car R179 sets. They can’t do 10-car trains with them, and they won’t want to have trains with various lengths of eight, nine and ten cars, which would cause people on the platform to stampede towards the first or last car if the train is less than ten cars long. They might use R32s since those are paired cars, so you can make 10-car trains with no issues at all. 11 hours ago, Far rockaway said: So I am guessing the would use the 145th st program to 168th st along the line or unless they have a 168th st program already installed on the r160s They should.

jasonbxny0619 Posted March 11, 2020 Share #2992 Posted March 11, 2020 It's interesting to see this weekend the running to/from 168th Street, the last time that we had the run via CPW local line was several months ago and the announcement said "This is a 145th Street bound Local Train via the Line" voice by Velina Mitchell who happens to be the voice of the transfer to the M14SBS along 14th Street 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwwnyc123 Posted March 25, 2020 Share #2997 Posted March 25, 2020 Starting tomorrow, Wednesday, March 25, we plan to operate the MTA Essential Schedule, which preserves our AM and PM rush hours to get first responders and essential personnel where they need to go. Here are the details: Some lines and express routes will not operate during weekdays, but we're focused on maximizing capacity during rush hours and ensuring our crews' safety. While ridership has dropped by ~85%, we're preserving 75% of our typical weekday capacity. You may wait a few extra minutes on the platform, but every station will still be served. Some express services and branches on some lines will operate only local service. For full details, see http://new.mta.info/coronavirus. Here’s a summary: The B, W, and Z lines will not run. In the Bronx, D trains are making all local stops. On Central Park West, take a C train. In Manhattan, N trains are making all local stops. For service to Astoria, take an N train. In Brooklyn, J trains are making all local stops. We’ll continue to analyze service levels on a line-by-line, hour-by-hour basis to ensure this service plan gets essential employees to work while allowing for a safe social distance. Since there are unpredictable variables at play, our real-time arrival data and trip planning tools may not be always be accurate. Check http://MTA.info and the MYmta app, or @ or DM us here, before you go.
