R32 3348 Posted August 22, 2008 Share #7 Posted August 22, 2008 The poor Queens residents will feel so shafted because there's no express service, meaning they have to take a PITIFULLY SLOW local, which makes UTTERLY USELESS stops to them...

Yea, the express is quite fast. I guess it has to do with trains entering/exiting the express track or somethin. - Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, there was still no uptown (2)s on 7th Avenue line, and I was in NY already. Could've sworn I heard, "This is a Bronx bound Express train," when I was buying a one day unlimited at Chambers Street about 11:45 AM or so..... Ok, so selected trains, I know theres a program for (2)s to turn at 96th Street on the R142s IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
