Lance Posted February 15, 2017 Share #1226 Posted February 15, 2017 With the amount of times that the isn't running past 180th street, they should just shut that part of the line down until all upgrades are made. Ridiculous. It's a balancing act. Sure, work would in theory be completed faster if the line was shut down 24/7 or every weekend, but that would piss off riders even more than the current setup with the intermittent shutdowns. Say what?! So whats covering Woodlawn? It could be like the service change from a couple of years ago where service along Jerome Ave was completely suspended. Last time, the G.O. called for 24 hour service from Dyre Av to Utica Av. It appears that this time, they will be using the designation instead, despite the higher potential for confusion since the never touches White Plains Rd whereas the does make limited trips to Utica Av. We'll have to see the final plans as they are released in the coming weeks. A new program for the ? That's new. And also, I think the has only gone to Dyre Avenue 7 times during the weekend for the past year or year and a half. Route options for the via White Plains Rd have existed for quite some time in the 142s' computers. They just aren't used. As for the lack of Dyre Ave service, it appears those weekend shutdowns are winding down a bit. Instead of 3+ weekends of suspensions, we've only had one per month on average so far this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel The Cool Posted February 16, 2017 Share #1227 Posted February 16, 2017 It seems like they want to send select trains to 180 St. The will still have trips to Woodlawn, presumably every 16 minutes like the last time (even though it doesn't say anything about cuts yet, but maybe they didn't update yet like they did with the ). Actually it's all Trains to E 180th Street that weekend, not selected trips. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Around the Horn Posted February 16, 2017 Share #1228 Posted February 16, 2017 Apparently trains are going to both Woodlawn and E 180 Street, if this is any indication... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Via Garibaldi 8 Posted February 16, 2017 Share #1229 Posted February 16, 2017 It's a balancing act. Sure, work would in theory be completed faster if the line was shut down 24/7 or every weekend, but that would piss off riders even more than the current setup with the intermittent shutdowns. That was a bit of sarcasm. The line practically runs outside of the rush. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrivera Posted February 16, 2017 Share #1230 Posted February 16, 2017 Apparently trains are going to both Woodlawn and E 180 Street, if this is any indication... On the bottom it says "(4) trains replace the ..." which implies that they're all going to E180. Otherwise the advisory would say "Some trains run on the line..." Then again if it was all trains to E180, they might as well be trips and just not run the at all... Very confusing GO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteriousBtrain Posted February 16, 2017 Share #1232 Posted February 16, 2017 Like I said before, they may have not posted all the details yet. Remember when the go was(n't) posted? This could be the case here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jemorie Posted February 16, 2017 Share #1233 Posted February 16, 2017 it would make more sense to have the train run 24/7 between East 180 street and Utica avenue (New Lots avenue at night and early Sunday mornings) than to have the train replace it during this particular GO like last time they did it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These G.O. advisories are likely cut and pasted from a file somewhere. Since the usually runs to Woodlawn, that's likely what was posted. As we get closer to the actual service change date, all of the pertinent information should line up correctly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteriousBtrain Posted February 18, 2017 Share #1238 Posted February 18, 2017 I'm pretty sure at this point there will be no R160 or R68 . It's just a rare reroute now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They couldn't get away with 20 minute service on the Dyre line anymore, so they're gonna shift the weekend cuts over to the Jerome line instead, while still presenting this as an improvement to Dyre riders (16's technically better than 20)...
