Posted by Stephen Bauman on Mon Mar 11 20:57:04 2019, in response to MTA removes or increases more speed limits, posted by italianstallion on Mon Mar 11 17:05:37 2019. There was a recent Daily News article on this subject.One item in this article: Agency leadership also has issued several bulletins to train operators in recent weeks directing them to enter stations at higher speeds — a move they call “assertive stops” — and avoid creeping along platforms before coming to a full stop. The directive is a bit concerning to some train operators who worry that they’ll be disciplined if they overshoot the platform by a few feet. “If they want us to be more assertive and come into the stations faster, then they have to be a lot more forgiving and not write us up when the inevitable miscalculation or error occurs,” said Eric Loegel, head of trains at Transport Workers Union Local 100. “They can’t have it both ways.” |
