Pablo M 201 Posted September 23, 2008 #2 Posted September 23, 2008 The R160s are programmed for many many routes so its not surprising.
Paul P Posted September 23, 2008 #3 Posted September 23, 2008 http://nycsubway.org/perl/show?83402 thats right SHUTTLE! It's in CI yard, not like it's really running as Shuttle.

MTA 2 MARTA Posted September 23, 2008 #5 Posted September 23, 2008 A 3 Car R160 Shuttle is not a bad idea.
mark1447 Posted September 23, 2008 #6 Posted September 23, 2008 old news, the workers over at CI shop is just testing the routes on those Ntt
Bruticus Posted September 24, 2008 #7 Posted September 24, 2008 Someone messed with a R160 at Stillwell Terminal and turned it into the Rockpark Shuttle it was pretty funny.
Radioguy Posted September 24, 2008 #8 Posted September 24, 2008 I miss the H. Making everything "S" after the Times Square Shuttle is more confusing and annoying.
Eric B Posted September 25, 2008 #9 Posted September 25, 2008 Yeah, only Franklin Shuttle should be . Use a number for the Grand Central Shuttle, or maybe just the word "shuttle".
Radioguy Posted September 25, 2008 #10 Posted September 25, 2008 Actually, the exact opposite is more appropriate. The Times Square shuttle is the only true shuttle, since it only shuttles people from one stop to the next. Additionally, it was created to be a a shuttle, while the Franklin St line is actually an original part of the Brighton line, which used to continue into an El. Just give the Franklyn St line a letter, and reserve S for Times Square.

Additionally, it was created to be a a shuttle, while the Franklin St line is actually an original part of the Brighton line, which used to continue into an El. Well if you really want to get technical, the Grand Central Shuttle was originally part of the IRT mainline and therefore also not intended to be a shuttle. However, both that and the Franklin Ave Shuttle should remain as since both are well known as shuttles and have been for quite some time. Then you have one in each division and I doubt that many people are confused by it. The Rockaway Pk , OTOH, should return to being the .
Radioguy Posted September 27, 2008 #12 Posted September 27, 2008 Well if you really want to get technical, the Grand Central Shuttle was originally part of the IRT mainline and therefore also not intended to be a shuttle. Aha. Well, it's still just one stop, I suppose. The Franklyn shuttle makes a few stops, and formerly more. It might still warrant a letter status other than shuttle. The should return either way.
NYCboy Posted September 27, 2008 Author #13 Posted September 27, 2008 i dought the will ever make a comback
N-Trizzy2609 Posted September 27, 2008 #14 Posted September 27, 2008 It'd only make since to return the but since it doesn't go to Manhattan they kept it a (S)huttle instead. I wish the would return and they run R160Bs or R179s instead of those crappy Pxssy Fart sounding R44s!
