Union Tpke Posted July 12, 2017 Share #16252 Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) Don't know if it was mentioned anywhere here, but countdown clocks are finally working on the QBL. Are there any pictures?

CTK246 Posted July 12, 2017 Share #16253 Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) http://apps.mta.info/traintime3/index.html#/app/updates Rollout schedule of countdown clocks. I'm guessing CBTC for the will be switched on in December considering its clocks will be activated by then.

And how does it work when a station that's shared with another line is further down on the list? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the - "11 stations". The R and C will officially be online before the . The has 32 stops along its route (not counting the trips to 179th St). All stops between Queens Plaza and 71st Avenue are already officially online, since they're covered under the R train. The stops between Canal St and 50th St will come online when the C does. That will leave 11 stations on the line that aren't officially online - World Trade Center, 7th Avenue, 5th Avenue, Lexington Avenue, Court Square, 75th Avenue, Kew Gardens, Briarwood, Jamaica-Van Wyck, Sutphin Blvd and Jamaica Center.

N6 Limited Posted July 12, 2017 Share #16256 Posted July 12, 2017 How has the been along Broadway? It must be nice for those heading past Myrtle to not have to transfer to the at Myrtle when coming from midtown.

Ahh ok makes sense.. However if the is already running, then why would the have 24 stations on the list? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if the is already running, then why would the have 24 stations on the list? I'm not sure. The has 17 stations that are not served by the R train - 7 Astoria Line stations and 10 Sea Beach Line stations. Count the Astoria line stations twice and you have 7 + 7 + 10 = 24. That still makes no sense but that's the only way I can think of to get 24 stations. Edit: the 18th station would be Canal St lower level I assume.

YankeesPwnMets Posted July 14, 2017 Share #16260 Posted July 14, 2017 Has anyone been to the Second Avenue stations recently? With the disgusting heat and unbearably hot conditions in some stations (looking at you, West 4th and Broadway Lafayette), I'm genuinely curious if the Second Avenue stations are actually significantly cooler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N6 Limited Posted July 16, 2017 Share #16269 Posted July 16, 2017 Will the new Count down clocks on the B division help dispatchers, etc know where all the rains are for a command center type operation? If so maybe they can make better decisions when it comes to cross overs and who gets priority, etc? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually when I take the , if a train is running late, they'll send it express; if the train behind it is late, they'll hold it for a minute. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I misread what VIP said as well as Around the Horn and Daniel The Cool's responses related to what VIP said. I thought VIP said the window northern terminal/southern terminal window side signages, not the route bullet signages on the R62As' end faces. But thanks anyways though. Understand why the route bullets on the R62As' end faces is getting replaced. Edited July 16, 2017 by Jemorie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
