'89 Liberty MCI Posted August 5, 2008 Share #1 Posted August 5, 2008 Man, Central Park West is crazy during the PM Rush. I came from an train from Jamaica today (I liked the R46 going to Jamaica actually, with an R32 coming back) and went downstairs at 7th Avenue for a ( to the . A came right away but was so crowded no one else could fit. Next came in about 30 seconds and there were seats on the train. Only needed to go to 59th though so no need to sit. I get there for the and ask some people there if any (A)s just came (behind the full train) and find it was two (D)s in a row. Then another comes, third in a row. Then a comes on the local track and the train has seats. I got on, the beat us up the CPW but not a single train went by us until 116 Street. My gets to 125 and the same is right there so I went in it just to get to 168 a bit earlier. The CPW is just painful on the rush hour. trains that can't fit any more passengers followed by trains that are clear, followed by more (D)s and then finally an which is embarrassed by a local until 125 Street. I gotta say I liked the R38 on the better than the R44 on the that I transferred to at 125. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattTrain Posted August 5, 2008 Share #2 Posted August 5, 2008 train is more frequent than . It should be the other way around. service comes from and goes to Lefferts Boulevard and Far Rockaway in Queens. ( and should arrive with the same frequency, that's just strange I'll tell you my experience. It's hard for you to catch a going up? Wow, for me usually, catching a is more harder going downtown and into Brooklyn. Not from my experience but some people tell me that there are as much as three straight (A)s: to Lefferts Boulevard to Rockaway Park to Far Rockaway. and then to Coney Island. It's weird, three destinations, but only five (A)'s to Rockaway Park. 59th Street Columbus Circle ( is the most heavy used station within CPW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTrainExp Posted August 5, 2009 Share #3 Posted August 5, 2009 Central Park West isn't a problem at all. You just got on when there was some delay or a situation of some sort. Usually the trains alternate with occasional double (A)s, (B)s, ©s, or (D)s. But finding a seat isn't hard. Since the trains come frequently with supplemental local service. My source? I ride it everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maserati7200 Posted August 5, 2009 Share #4 Posted August 5, 2009 Usually it's pretty reliable. But I remember one day it was really bad. I was wating at 59th street for a ( train. While I was waiting 4 (D)'s came, 5 (A)'s, 3 ©'s then finally a ( train came. I was waiting 35 minutes for a train during the rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bstar1 Posted August 6, 2009 Share #5 Posted August 6, 2009 That's weird because there's usually more (A)'s than (D)'s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R44 5278 Posted August 6, 2009 Share #6 Posted August 6, 2009 That's weird b/c it's the exact opposite when I wait for the D at Dekalb Avenue during the Rush. Usually 5 N trains pass before a D train would come. Thank god they have the M train heading to the same designation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTrainExp Posted August 6, 2009 Share #7 Posted August 6, 2009 That's weird because there's usually more (A)'s than (D)'s. The way I see it, the trains are supposed to alternate with an occasional 2 (A)s and then a . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maserati7200 Posted August 6, 2009 Share #9 Posted August 6, 2009 This is usually my observation of the CPW lines for a hour during weekdays. - come around 5-7 trains per hour. ( - come around 4-6 trains per hour. - come around 4-6 trains per hour. - come around 3-5 trains per hour. I feel the is only slow around the Rockaways because more trains go to Ozone Park.
