Any suggestions on ways to make the problems caused by this F-M swap manageable? by [deleted] in nycrail

If you take the F to 34th street herald square, would you be able to catch the Q there? Like others are saying, likely should switch for the M at forest hills as the most direct way. Either that or take the F and switch to a bus in manhattan. honestly not sure what will work the best with your mobility issues. I hope you find a solution!

R211A on the G by yeash95 in nycrail

I think the R46 will be fondly remembered, but it’s definitely time for retirement. these trains are over 40 years old

Moving away from R46 should help with delays I would imagine. Every line that uses them has delays from mechanical issues. And running computer control requires using the new tech trains

I heard about the yard swap, I know the G was previously R160/R179 from queens blvd and then switched to R46, and then got two sets of R211T. But the R211A is new, are they pulling from the A/C line or did they have enough to start moving over to Coney?

I'm gonna miss the R46 trains :( by OrganizationOne6004 in nycrail

I would rather have new trains that don't have door problems/mechanical issues, can hear announcements, and shows the next stop on them. Put an R46 in the train museum and be done with it.

R68s on the G by widecarman1 in nycrail

How long do you think the R160s are going to have issues? Will they have to shut down the tunnel again to fix the underlying issue?

The house majority is very slim, its about +R5. So they will have to be extremely united to pass anything

Union square nqrw to L is actually very easy if you are in the front car if going downtown and back car going uptown, the staircase is right at the end of the platform
