Right now its a pain in the neck. I agree when it becomes 100% and they change some things like you speed being reduced to 3MPH 2 or 3 car lenghts from a red signal. They also need to reduce the work zones in the area where the work is being performed. I hate it every night I got to do 8 MPH in the River tube because I got "Work Zone in Progress" from Bedford Ave to North of 1 AV which result in a 15 Minute late clear and my operating hand in pain from the controller. I have seen the good side of it. On the other hand if your following a train in Bypass you really have to look at your MAL. I spend more time looking at the computer to make sure my speed and conditions are in the green more then I get to look at the roadbed which is another complaint I got. Everytime I take my eyes off the computer its starts beeping then that gets me nerves thinking I am one step from a BIE and I just go into a full service brake until the alarm goes off. Hopefully its just the lack of CBTC experance factor which I hope to master before this pick ends. I can tell you this I won't be back on the L Line next pick. |
