Talk:G (New York City Subway service)

Extension to Church Avenue
That Daily News article does mention the extension and implicitly defines Church Avenue as the new terminal. Larry V (talk &#124; contribs) 06:14, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Weekend service to Forest Hills
Since it is cut on a semi-permanent basis. I'm considering changing around the text to reflect this. Any concerns, objections? Pacific Coast Highway { talk • contribs } 02:16, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

G service Crosstown Line local
What the hell, I did say that right stuff. It is nessacary. D:< from Mc. Nsiah —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.189.168.173 (talk) 03:13, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
 * The G does NOT use the full Crosstown Line anymore. The portion north of Court Square is not used in revenue service. The Crosstown line extends from south of Queens Plaza to the interlocking north of Bergen Street. Acps110 (talk • contribs) 14:31, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Could you STOP. The G is not N/A on the Crosstown. I'm saying the right thing. D:<--24.189.168.173 (talk) 14:44, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
 * The TRACKS column is N/A because there are only two tracks. There is no need to make a distinction between local and express because that's not an option with only two tracks. The G SERVICE is described as a fully local service making all stops elsewhere in the article, so there is no need to say that the IND Crosstown Line tracks are local.

Lead section
The old version of the lead (which I reverted) stated that "It is the only non-shuttle service in the system that does not serve Manhattan, and therefore, suffers from frequent disruptions and poor service." This does not make sense because it does not explain how not entering Manhattan causes poor service. The source indicated that it had poor service, but did not indicate its location as a cause.

 * It is often said that the MTA provides poor service with frequent disruptions because it is the only train that does not enter Manhattan (if the G entered Manhattan, it would definitely be running more frequently with full length cars), which in turn angers riders

Sandy Fix&Fortify info addition
Should the information regarding the station closing on the first three stations be added to the article? I added with accurate information, but after close examinations on the edit history, I saw it caused a bit of tension. Therefore, I reverted the article back to its last version. In my opinion, it should be added because it is significant towards one of the subway tunnel crossings and the addition of the temporary OOS (out of system) transfer at Broadway with Lorimer Street on the JMZ lines is also a point of interest. Until this dispute is settled, the article should not have the Fix&Fortify info in it.

I know this doesn't concern this issue at all, but it is worth noticing that the G runs entirely in Brooklyn (for now). DePeeper (talk) 01:51, 31 July 2014 (UTC)


 * There is no need to include this because it is only five weeks long and will be over before you know it, so we're not going to waste time making major changes to the article only to revert them all come September 2. Wikipedia is not a newspaper or travel guide. As for the free transfer to Lorimer Street, it's not that important to mention either since we don't know if it is only a temporary thing or will be made permanent when service is restored. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.118.139.88 (talk) 00:56, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

R46 G trains, Hoyt-Schermerhorn Derailment
I've noticed that two G trains have been supplemented with R46 cars after the Hoyt-Schermerhorn derailment. These two trains were most likely taken from a R46 F train, as there were F train notifications in each car. However, I do not have any sourcing other than me and my camera, and I only saw these two trains a few days after the incident, so this may not be a big deal at all. I just wanted to bring it up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GeneralPunger (talk • contribs) 12:17, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
