Link to where you got that?  It's not on the MTA site. =/  It would definitely make my commute to BMCC faster.

You're link is giving me blank pages. (ie. the page itself with no service advisories.)

look at B express service resumes in brooklyn



If the page doesnt load for you go to the Mta website, look at the planed service tab and type in 10/3/11

and scroll down to B service resumes in brooklyn.

Yep, this is true. I verified the info the same way Mr. Railfan said (Planned Service Changes - 10/3) the moment this topic came up on NYC Transit Forums.

It'll be nice to have something like this finally come back

[peacemak3r]

Yeah, I've missed that damn express service, it'll definitely cut 10-15 minutes off my commute in the morning.

Nevertheless, it's still not the same without the R40 Slants, R40Ms, and CI R42s on the line.

Couldn't agree More

[peacemak3r]

I mean I guess I'm not that much of a die-hard buff, it wouldn't really affect me.

I'd miss them because I hardly rode on them on the Brighton Line or on any line on particular, but I'd prefer the R68As on the Brighton express (R68s second  ).

[Dj Hammers]

I rode the Brighton Line Express daily until I was around 6 years old so it holds a special place in my childhood memories.

There was nothing better than standing at the point of the huge R40 Slant picture window as you rocketed through Cortelyou Road...
Nowadays with the R68As it just isn't the same, there isn't that feel you got on the R40 Slants that you just knew meant that you were going down to Brighton Beach.

As of today, I've been a Brighton rider for 23 years and a couple of days.  I guess yeah the rail fan window was a blast indeed, but for me I guess times changed majority of my interest has went to automotive but I do have that sweet heart spot for my transit.  I'm trying to just say that I don't get that broken heart type of feeling if I don't see a R40 rolling down Brighton.  Best way for me to explain it.
