N-Trizzy2609 Posted October 18, 2008 Share #1 Posted October 18, 2008 For those who don't know, pics of the new South Ferry Station is now available on http://www.nycsubway.org !!! Special thanks to Pete Monty for posting theses up. Here are the URL's!! http://www.nycsubway.org/perl/show?92371 http://www.nycsubway.org/perl/show?92372 http://www.nycsubway.org/perl/show?92373 Look like one hell of a station. I can see a wide escalator and the platform look wide. It's a two track, one island deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murray1575 Posted October 20, 2008 Share #9 Posted October 20, 2008 For me the retirement of the old loop station can't come soon enough. Although I realize that the qualities of the old station's construction can never be duplicated operationally it is a nightmare. I was on a 1 train last week that overshot the gap fillers by a matter of inches. We could not back up so we had to go on through without making the station stop since the gap fillers would not operate. What a pain! The screech of the train's wheels rounding the sharp curve is not music to my ears either. It will be interesting to see how many riders use the free transfer to the R/W/N lines at Whitehall St.(although those using unlimited Metrocards have that now since the stations are so close toghether).

N-Trizzy2609 Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share #10 Posted October 20, 2008 I dont Think South Ferry is getting Platform Screen Door. As you may heard above. The already overshot the the gap fillers so imagine the doors alignment. And if they do, I'll call a protest!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metsfan Posted October 20, 2008 Share #11 Posted October 20, 2008 I better get down there ASAP before the old one goes awayyy. I do not want gap fillers on the subway. It just isn't that kind of system. Now the air cooling mechanism that i can go for 100%!! - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if the New South Ferry Station has screen doors well we will I to live with it because new stations has lots of new thigs installed.

R32 3348 Posted October 28, 2008 Share #14 Posted October 28, 2008 The PSDs were cut out of the capital projects due to overruns in costs, IINM. The South Ferry station might have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I believed they are deferred to somewhere in the future. Look at the pictures, there seems to be no provision for the doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good. We don't need them. Focus instead on taking excess heat out of stations and putting it to good use. Maybe use it to power the lighting via thermo-reactive converter. - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
