Joe Posted March 13, 2009 Share #2 Posted March 13, 2009 The E going down the F really throws some people for a loop, especially with Van Wyck Blvd and Sutphin Blvd. being stations on both lines. You know how often i've heard "where is jamaica station" after getting off of a 179 St-bound E at Sutphin? :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTR Admiralty Posted March 14, 2009 Share #4 Posted March 14, 2009 Well, it does not throw me off since I rode to 179th two times, ! The E goes there on certain rush hour trips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbirdbassist Posted March 14, 2009 Share #5 Posted March 14, 2009 Yea. However in the evening rush it seems like they don't make the decision to run certain E's to 179th St until 71st-Continental or Union Turnpike. Usually it's at 71st-Cont. and it goes local to 179th. If it's at Union T'Pke (rare, I've only seen it happen once or twice) it's cool cause it goes express. There are actual pre scheduled E's to leave from 179th St (I think there are 4, the E has 26 trains). They run on the express track. They don't usually run on the express tracks in the evening because they start storing trains there around 7:30-8pm at Union Turnpike. and trains are stored in the vicinity of Supthin Blvd and 169th St. While E's are stored at Union Turnpike through to somewhere in between Briarwood and Supthin Blvd. As far as people getting confused, you can't really blame them. Announcements aren't very clear most of the time and conductors don't always repeat them enough times before closing up. Plus people are sleeping/have headphones on/etc... and just don't notice. I think Jamaica-Van Wyck could just be called Jamaica Avenue. For the rest though people just need to pay attention to the fact that the E and F run parallel and share stops at the same Blvd's, but run under differen't and semi close avenues.
