MTA Dude Posted September 27, 2014 Share #351 Posted September 27, 2014 I'm not sure if someone mentioned this already, but the G.O for this weekend has been cancelled. I even checked the website's service changes for this weekend and it no longer shows it. Hm, I wonder why. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itmaybeokay Posted September 30, 2014 Share #352 Posted September 30, 2014 What's going on along Queens Blvd this week? The website claims the N/B is running express after 9:45, but there's no accompanying service change for the , which seems odd. Yet, there was a sign at Rockefeller center saying the M ends early this week - but this information isn't reflected on the web at all. Was there a cancelled G.O. that only got half-deleted from the advisories and some errant signs remained up? It's this sort of conflicting information that gets under my skin. There's nothing worse than working a 12 hour day and wondering which of the contradictory pieces of information actually affects your trip home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realizm Posted October 13, 2014 Share #357 Posted October 13, 2014 I noticed that too with the R160s on the . They handled that curvy line from City Hall to Whitehall very well. The longer R46s have a toughed time with that route. I gotta admit I really preferred the 160s over the 46s on the , but because the has the bigger crowds, it really needs them more. Well yeah fortunately the R can retain alot of its R160 cars, I guess they see the benefit too and would prefer to let the R stay as a mixed fleet, but the assignments are sporadic. Sometimes you may see only 1 or 2 sets of R160s, other times however most of the fleet for that day is all NTTs. Its clear the MTA had the BMT in mind with the designing of these supurb cars. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go to school near Queens Plaza via the E and I personally have seen 2/3 sets of R160s per day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realizm Posted October 13, 2014 Share #359 Posted October 13, 2014 The cars really moves southbound in the tunnel because they removed the timers, now it books through the tubes. So the line improved overall save for some weekend GO related delays. I go to school near Queens Plaza via the E and I personally have seen 2/3 sets of R160s per day. Yeah same, all I have really seen today is R46s, although that can change even by tommorow. I remember Friday the line was almost all R160s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollOver Posted October 18, 2014 Share #363 Posted October 18, 2014 Well, at least it offers more Midtown options than the current weekend extension. This can most certainly ease overcrowding and delays on the at Delancey. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alekr Posted October 19, 2014 Share #366 Posted October 19, 2014 Wonder why they are extending the to Chambers St? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S78 via Hylan Posted October 19, 2014 Share #367 Posted October 19, 2014 From what I heard, it's because of track work in the middle track at Essex St. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abba Posted October 19, 2014 Share #368 Posted October 19, 2014 Why not terminate it there always on The weekend.Chambers can probobaly handle both trains. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollOver Posted October 19, 2014 Share #370 Posted October 19, 2014 There's no need or demand for it. Actually, I have to disagree. Having the weekend extension to Chambers instead of Nassau offers more Midtown options and ease overcrowding/delays on the at Delancey, as I've pointed out previously. The only issue being is that both the and are terminating there and the is four cars only. But soon, the will operate its entire length (Jamaica to Broad) 24/7, so only then, can the weekend terminate at Chambers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abba Posted October 19, 2014 Share #371 Posted October 19, 2014 So what? Have signs telling people where to board The M. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S78 via Hylan Posted October 19, 2014 Share #372 Posted October 19, 2014 @Rollover: I highly doubt they would extend the again just because of the fact the the will be soon going to Broad St 24/7. You are right that it gives more travel options. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollOver Posted October 21, 2014 Share #373 Posted October 21, 2014 So what? Have signs telling people where to board The M. That's fine if the goes to Broad 24/7. Let me guess, you yourself honestly think its a good idea having each incoming train at Chambers stay for a good 10 minutes or so before pulling out? Not to mention the is four cars on weekends, resulting in trains not swapping at Chambers. Flatbush does offer the option of pumping trains in and out of there at a face pace, no? That's exactly why the swap occurs throughout rush hours and middays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
