SubwayFan3000 Posted April 25, 2019 Share #76 Posted April 25, 2019 I think everyone forgot what was actually presented to the public. First 5 Years 4, 5, 6 – 149 St-Grand Concourse to Nevins St E, F, M, R – Jamaica 179 St and Jamaica Center Parsons Archer to 50 St F – Church Av to West 8 St NY Aquarium A, C, E – Columbus Circle to Jay St MetroTech G – Court Sq to Hoyt Schermerhorn 7 – Flushing Main St to 34 St-Hudson Yards COMPLETE Next 5 Years 1, 2, 3 – Jackson Av to Atlantic Av – Barclays Ctr B, D, F, M – 59 St Columbus Circle and 21 St Queensbridge to Dekalb Av and Jay St MetroTech A, C – Jay St MetroTech to Ozone Park Lefferts Blvd A, S – Rockaway Blvd to Far Rockaway Mott Av and Rockaway Park Beach 116 St N, Q, R, W – Queensboro Plaza to Dekalb Av In none of this is CPW included, and CBTC on Broadway will be completed at around the same time as 6 Av CBTC. In fact, according to Cuomo, we might even use UWB, and like @VIP said we don't know if this plan will change or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted June 20, 2019 Share #82 Posted June 20, 2019 I know it's considered a joke that the MTA is just now updating to Windows 10, but in reality that's par for the course with any large company. Very few businesses will upgrade to the latest operating system until a couple of major service pack updates are released. Hell, until fairly recently, most major companies were still using Windows XP and have upgraded for Windows 7 / 10 because legacy support for XP finally ended. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're going to talk about upgrading to Windows 10, then literally the only reason to do so is for support (the competent 7 is going to be orphaned soon, so it won't make sense to bother with it). I'm anticipating a lot of problems because of it... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is that quote from? Sounds like they’re referring to the ‘implement ATS’ phase of ISIM-B. If they can get UWB to work, that’d be great. But we need to see it, you know, working, before we use it. Snake oil and rapid transit don’t mix. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q23 via 108 Posted July 8, 2019 Share #92 Posted July 8, 2019 So when it comes to Lexington Av. Which method is the MTA looking at. Will they do the Express tracks first seeing as the and already have NTTs. Or will they do the Local tracks since the Express tracks are vital tracks and the could be dealt with easily (whether have it run on the Express or cut it back to 125 or 3 Av-138). Also, will they work on both sides at the same time or will they work on one direction (Bronx side first for ex.)? Either way, Lexington Av is a very delicate line and has to be worked on at specific times. Late Nights will be ideal, but the weekends can be crazy. Many rely on the to Yankee Stadium, and even on weekends, Lex is still quite busy. So this is going to be interesting to say the least. But, we will truly see what the MTA is truly made of. And how they will control (or lack of) this task. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some systems were at last check still operating on Windows 2000 (the predecessor to XP Pro) and may have only recently upgraded to 7, which has its legacy support ending in 2020. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how they will control (or lack of) this task. I really don't know what if anything they would do first. It's true that there are New Techs on the and trains. What I would imagine happen if they do the express tracks is this: Have the train run as a Mosholu Shuttle from Woodlawn to 149th Street during the project. Send the train to bypass the 149th Street Junction to run via Broadway - 7th Avenue. If the opposite occurs with CBTC work on the local being done first, perhaps running it to 149th Street with a full express run in both directions through Manhattan would be better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around the Horn Posted July 24, 2019 Share #98 Posted July 24, 2019 I would split Lex CBTC in two to concentrate resources with the split being Grand Central. Phase 1: Lex Express 125 to Grand Central : local in both directions with the : via 7th Av or only Dyre-E 180th : normal Phase 2: Lex Local 125th to Grand Central : local Grand Central to Brooklyn Bridge at all times during the project duration : normal : Pelham Bay Park to 125th Phase 3: Lex Express Grand Central to Nevins Street : Woodlawn to Grand Central : via 7th Av or only Dyre-E 180th : normal (additional trains south of 3rd/138th) Phase 4: Lex Local Grand Central to Brooklyn Bridge : local 125th to Grand Central at all times during the project duration : normal : Pelham Bay Park to 125th Alternatively, I just realized as I'm typing this that you could also have phases 1 and 4 and phases 2 and 3 at the same time and simply cut the to 125th and have the cover the open local section while they skip the closed local section (served by shuttle bus/M101/M102/M103). Brooklyn Bridge to Nevins Street would just be like the Joralemon Street tube closures after Sandy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
