Question...
Who's making manual announcements for this line for the R62as that will run? If no one's gonna do it, I'll take it. I can record and dub in about a day.
Whenever I am with Danny Express I practice on the R68's on Concourse I can do voices too.
I see you twig, making intellectual posts again lol. Good luck MannyI been sleeping on the site, I had to get my swag back lmao.
To answer everyones statements and comments:
@ipac & Twigga : I couldnt post up in the real section but it will be official. I'll send it to yall for review. Yes I dont need everyone to complain about routes that arent done so I am gonna jumpstart it now that I have coding skills.
@ Everyone else: The line is real with no extra details. When I release it, everyone will get it, who ever takes the job of detailing it be my guest.
I've been riding on some express trains lately, to be exact:
- R160A-2 (once), R160B Alstom (once), R160B Siemens (twice) (N) via 4th Avenue Express
- R142A (4) Between Atlantic and Franklin
Compared to other times, these trains've been running slower lately compared to about a month or 2 ago. My question is:
Are they putting timers on all the express routes?
R160A-2 and R160B, specify the line.
For the N via 4th Avenue, I'm not sure if they're putting new timers along the route, but I do know that there are existing timers(and the fact that the fleet is ever changing can throw a T/O off). There is a sharp curve right after Atlantic/Pacific(where 4th Avenue meets Atlantic) and you don't want trains to overshoot the station and hit the curve.
Between Atlantic going towards Franklin Avenue, no, there shouldn't be any timers. The train is going uphill, so the gradient takes care of the speed. However, if you're going towards Atlantic, there are GT timers all along the passageway(since the 4 and 5 express tracks are directly beneath the 2 and 3 tracks, they make the same sharp curve into Grand Army Plaza. Without the timers, going downhill a train can easily hit 60).
There's also ongoing construction on the 2 and 3 platform for the connection to the future Barclays Center, as well as construction on the Fulton Street Transit Center. Any line that passes through that complex can see reduced speeds as far as five stations away.
