They should be updated soon its the first day back.

 

Even some R160 (N)'s FIND and announcements are not updated yet in Manhattan went Express and said Queensbound N Local Next Stop 14 St Union Sq. Local Stops Blinking Will Not Stop.

That's a crew error. Someone erroneously chose the local option in the system and knocked off the local stops.

 

I was on the F and it didn't acknowledge the (W) even exist. The Lexington Ave 63rd street does not have a (W) so it seems like that station was over looked.

Apparently some (hopefully not all) trains do not have updated transfer announcements.

 

Wait, are they using the pre-2010 recordings for real? I saw an image on Twitter showing the (brownM)(V) listed on the electronic stop maps inside the cars. They really are rolling back the clock...

It would appear so. The route options for the (W) have not been updated since the line's discontinuation in 2010.

Unfortunately there isnt an update for the (W) at this time. There will be one big one for 2nd Av

I finally saw a couple of these new panels recently. Someone on FB also had one in a staion, replacing the LED sign.

Looks like one LCD panel, but I never knew they could have such a ratio. They would use two panels, and you could see the line between them.

Forgot to mention; they could just use these as the FIND's, then, and wouldn't have to use LED pixels at all. (Perhaps that's what's illustrated in that R211 drawing, where the FIND was apparently full color).

 

Meanwhile, it seems like they've abandoned the regular sized LCD in the current FINDs. Seems like a waste.
