Welcome to BVEStation.
I was just going through the service changes for this weekend when something caught my attention:Why would they send (F) trains to Lefferts at nights instead of Euclid?
the lefferts shuttle is not running and the A goes to far rockaway
As Max said , they save money by not running the shuttle and simply replacing it with the (F), since the (F) is already going to Euclid ave.
It costs money to uncouple 8 car R46 sets in to 4 car R46 sets for Lefferts Shuttle service, and then to operate the service.Its a lot easier to add a few more trainsets and crews to the F to extend it to Lefferts.
I didn't know it costed money to couple and uncouple cars and that the Lefferts Shuttle used 4-car sets. Thanks
I believe it's because they have to pay people to do it and stuff? This F to Lefferts is only temporary, right?
Yea, this weekend only so far
Nope they are doing it on the 22nd. Also there is no F to lefferts r160 Program, so conductors sign it up to Euclid and make manual announcements after Euclid to lefferts. What i would do is sign it up as a F to Jay St and then at Jay St change it for the A to lefferts.
