Why weren't crew facilities added at Norwood? |
|
|
Posted by Union Tpke on Tue Jan 8 12:16:31 2019 According to randyo crew facilities were added at Far Rockaway and Dyre. Why wasn't this done at Norwood? |

And it's time consuming for the passengers, because it means that southbound trains have an otherwise unnecessary delay for a change of crew at Bedford Park Blvd. |

It is the SCHEDULED Start place for the (D) train.205th was never supposed to be the end of the lion, it was supposed to go beyond there, but then the city took the Dyre and plans changed. RIAR |

Officially the start place for the D is 205 St regardless of where the crews change. When I was a M/M and later on when I became a T/D, there were some crews that signed on at 205 and went through to Brighton Bch. |

Since 205 was originally intended to be a through station and not a terminal, no crew facilities were provided. I Haven’t been up to that part of the world in a long time so I’m not sure if there would even be enough room to place a crew room where the old tower used to be now that the interlocking machine has been removed. Unlike Dyre and Far Rock which are above ground, there would be no space to put a crew room at 205 unless the old tower could be used. |

There seems to be a closed off area between the platforms and the mezzanine to the right of staircases at the western end of the platform behind a door. I don't know what is behind there. |

But it makes it take a few minutes longer for every passenger to get from 205th to points south, on every single train, for many decades. Its being in the schedule doesn't make it less inconvenient for passengers. |

A few years ago we had this same discussion and it is being rehashed all over again. I'm not getting into it except for this one response.There is a scheduled one minute hold for the crews to be relieved at Bedford Park. It has been that way for as long as I remember, even going back to the R1/9's when I was a kid. You may not like it, but it is what it is. The passengers from 205 are well used to this hold by now. This is because there are no crew facilities at 205. Why? IDK, the planners are all dead! Amen, I'm done! |

You may not like it, but it is what it is.My only point has been that passengers would benefit if crew facilities were installed at 205th. Maybe it's impossible. If so, then so be it. But that hasn't been the response I got. The response I got from various people here is that it's not an issue because it's in the schedule, so I'm stupid for even bringing it up. And that's simply a "the passenger comes last" attitude. |

Back when I was still working over 20 years ago, there was a 4 min hold built into the N schedules at Dekalb because the N had to meet at Qnsbro Plz with the 7 and again at Dekalb with the D which at that time was operating via the Brighton Line. |

Don't have a positive answer pure speculation but I would be almost certain it was a combination of space and $$$.Bedford Pk has ample space. There's literally 3 crew rooms at the Bed Pk sta. 1. Crew quarters platform level, 2. Crew quarters upstairs with a kitchen (a locker room across hall) 3. A crew room in the area where the master tower is (Think thats more for the tower folk) with another locker room 205 st just dont have a lot of space. There's a small area behind the tower board. Can probably sit about 6 ppl and a bathroom. Don't seem like much room to expand. Of course with all of that at Bed Pk why would mta send the $$$ to build one at 205 st which probably involve knocking down walls complicated construction? |

You overestimated the number of trains per day by a factor of 4And of course in busier periods it's far more than 68 people. (2.7 million people) x (2 minutes each) = 90,000 person-hours per year. Maybe it would be so expensive to put in crew quarters that it's not worth it for that amount of time savings. But nobody here has made that argument. |

Subway riders generally don't consult schedules to plan their trips anyway, unless perhaps they are the much-abused late night and overnight riders who have to make sure that they don't miss an important connection. |

"It would make zero fiscal sense to have 2 crew rooms at 2 consecutive stations."No one is suggesting that. If you had the crew room at 205th, the nominal terminal, you would eliminate the one at BPB. The fact is that, solely for a no longer relevant historical reason, there is a crew room at a stop that is not a terminal - the only line in the city where such an arrangement occurs. It is stupid. That said, it may not be worth spending money to fix. |

Most trains have acrew change; many people, including myself, expect it, and don't rush down the stairs if a train is just coming in as I arrive. However, there are a few trains that do not do this and come in and go right out. My question in why? If this odd-train can do that why not all. Does this crew have exceptionally large bladders, or they just don't deserve a break? And, the delay is often times more than just a minute.Back in the day, when those starting lights went on, that crew was on board and out that train went. Today, those light are no more than just decorations. R17 |

Of course there are still trains out of CCY that enter Bedford Pk directly.In the a.m. rush, there are some strange happenings at Bedford Pk. Like a n/b (D) train arriving and becoming a s/b (D)exp. Mad rush up the stairs & over to the other side. Great way to start the day. Better than coffee. R17 |

Bedford Park was/is the intended terminal for the Concourse Local. The line was supposed to end entirely at Bedford Park but a last minute addition was 205th in anticipation of Eastward expansion, but like so many things our Transit Ancestors planned, it didn't pan out. So we are left with this obtuse arrangement. |

I agree but financially the question is is that 1 or 2 minute scheduled hold at BPK worth the serious $$$ spent in building a crew room at 205th. Like I said in a previous post not a lot of space at 205th Sta which means construction of a crew room will involve knocking down some walls possibly moving some utlities around long story short...serious $$$. Is that expense worth it when there's more than enough ample crew space 1 Sta away? |

The cost of no crew room is decades and decades of many people's ride taking an extra minute or two.I have no idea what the cost of adding the crew room is. Maybe it's not worth it; if so, fine. I only object to people who deride the idea that the ongoing cost to passengers exists or matters. |

Its kind of like that magazine fact where you spend 18yrs on the toilet.If you accumulate it, it sounds like a lot when you state it cumulatively, but the fact of the matter is that it is a small amount of time when analyzed on the event level. Also there is no way to accumulate this time, saving 100 seconds a day doesn't get paid out as 608 minutes at the end of the year. You only save 100 seconds, 365 times, which does not have any tangible benefit. |
