Hey guys~ I used the links you guys provided here and start creating an unofficial subway time site for unreleased lines. I tried with (N) first and here is the result: http://nycsubwaytime.byethost12.com/n.html

 

The problem is that the official subway time site (http://apps.mta.info/traintime3/) is down today. So none of the stations works now, not even the stations shared with (R) that suppose to work....  :mellow:

After your attempt to redo the subwaytime website, I thought I'd try to redo the subwaytime site myself, but much lighter weight and simpler than what the MTA came up with.  http://tinymta.us.to/

Has anyone noticed that rerouted (F) trains during this weekend's GO (And on previous weekends) don't show up on Broadway/4 Av Line countdown clocks at all, either on the app or live? Which is really weird since they show up on the Queens Blvd countdown clocks just fine, and rerouted (D) trains are listed at each station on the 8 Av and Smith St lines normally.

Also, since these don't seem to have been mentioned in the thread:

At Jamaica Line stations, on the app (M) trains are shown under the wrong categories - Forest Hills-bound trains are listed under "uptown" and Metropolitan Av-bound trains under "downtown", apparently due to its u-shaped route not being taken into account.

I was at Atlantic Av on the Brighton Line Tuesday, and the countdown clock was showing arrivals times, but I was there Thursday too and then it was just showing the same old PSAs. I tweaked the lighting in the picture to better show the countdown clock.

Forest Hills Bound (M) Trains are actually considered Northbound/Uptown Direction so it's really not an error at all.

It might not be technically wrong but I can imagine it being confusing to the average rider and it doesn't match the actual physical service.

As much as I find it annoying, it does match the overall physical service. The going to Forest Hills is North and the train going to Metro is south.

 

Personally I like someone's suggestion I saw once of treating it like a circle line.

Forest Hills is the "Clockwise terminal" and Metro is the "counterclockwise terminal".

Hmmm, I guess the (B) and (Q) clocks will be going live soon. Tuesday must have been the test period.

I've noticed that for stations and lines that are about to come online, the station names will show as they do normally.

For lines that are not ready, the station name portion is blank

By the way, the latter station is Avenue P on the Culver line

I Checked the (N)/(Q) Canal Street times and it's only showing the (R) and(W) .

It's another case of linking to the wrong station ID. Both the (N) and (Q) links are to Canal St are to the tunnel platforms (R23) and not the Bridge platforms (Q01). This also happens on the (M) at Court Square, which is incorrectly linked to the Crosstown platform.

Shouldn't they merge the data from the Bridge and Tunnel Platforms at Canal St so that one can make an informed decision?
