The R142As might come from the to the line by the end of this year. Or when the R62As get retired in 2022....

All the way to Citi!

 

Not to get off Topic here, but its a shame their renaming Shea Stadium, Citifield. Yuck

[xRatedR4Renex]

Yeah I agree here too.

I don't like it either.

[metsfan]

I like the because you can go between the north & south ends of manhattan stopping at times square, and penn station. I would choose the (7)/(7x) but the line is under-served.

How so?

[error46146]

citifield is such a bad name for it...

 

at least call it Citibank Area or something like that

[metsfan]

How so?

 

At times square you have to wait like 8 minutes between trains, i mean you can see the last train at 8th ave down the track through the tunnel, but does it have it wait there so long? I don't get it. I am usually taking the LIRR out and back because the (7x) takes so long to take out, and after a night game its easier to just shoot back to nyp to get the train home. If there was more service i'd use it every time.

After night and weekend Met games, they added 7 "Super Express" service which only stops at 61 Street, Queensboro Plaza, Grand Central, 5 Avenue and Times Square. I rode that train last week after a Mets game because I wanted to get home ASAP (that was the game that went into extras). You should try it (unless you are tight on time due to your connecting NJT train.)

[7LineFan]

(7x). Service is frequent during rush hours, and (7x) trains from Main Street leave on time. At least the early ones.

[BMT4Life]

I used to use the line for many years. I used the uptown portion alot.

[East New York]

The because I can take it from Brooklyn to the Bronx and back NTT style.

I say the than the and

[Micstromme]

I have always respected that of the line. What would happen if there is a (4x)?

[via White Plains Road]

I voted for the , but the are my favorites also

[Trainmaster5]

I've lived and worked in NYC for over 50 years. I've worked for NYCTA for more than 25 of those years and for a Brooklynite the has always been my favorite because through the years that line has had more north and south terminals in so many diverse neighborhoods than any IRT line. This is really the all-american line ,even including the .

[xRatedR4Renex]

so you're not so sure about that?

[7LineFan]

Um, the (7)'s the International Line, don't know what you're getting at.

The is the international line but from my experiences on the I've encountered so many people from so many N. and S. American countries and just about every island in the western hemisphere. That's what I meant by All-American.

[Ftrainfan]
