superdotny Posted July 24, 2008 Share #27 Posted July 24, 2008 To be honest with you....I like Dianne Thompson verison of "This is a Man-hattan bound train" or connection is available to PATH and/or Port Authority Bus Terminal. I do agree with you for the announcements for via 4th Avenue Express....why not add the "express" part to it. What I dislike is the updated verison take out of the Stillwell Avenue part of "This is a Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue bound train I agree with you. I liked the "This is a Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue bound train. The current makes feel kinda dumb. But then again, so many of those conductors are cutting those announcements!!

Yeah, I heard the same thing but the person who told me was very questionable about it which gives me doubt about it also. We'll see when the next pick starts or if you can bring us back some word.

MattTrain Posted July 25, 2008 Share #41 Posted July 25, 2008 The Kawasaki R160B's are coming twice as fast as Alstom's R160A. The base order for the R160A's isn't even in yet, and the Kawasaki R160B's option orders are coming to NY much faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
