Talk:L (New York City Subway service)

message: I don't like having that floating box of trivia information hanging around; it interferes with the formatting and layout of the page. All its information could easily be integrated into the article itself. Larry V (talk | e-mail) 23:36, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Do you mean the box on the right displaying the info? Yea, I agree, and if is changed, should the pages on other NYC subway lines have that type of info as well? Herenthere (Talk) 23:25, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I've heard multiple MTA employees refer to this train as the Larry (on one particular day I asked them about the L train's service changes and one of them asked the others about it).  Too bad this is impossible to cite.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Captain Skank (talk • contribs) 02:02, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

message: It looks like the lead image is in dispute. Here are the images being disputed:
File:NYCSubway8253 on the L line.jpg|NYCSubway8253 on the L line.jpg; previous picture. Shows the L departs at Broadway Junction.
File:Manhattan bound R143 L train at New Lots.jpg|Manhattan bound R143 L train at New Lots.jpg; current picture. Shows the L at New Lots Avenue, which already a photo of it in the bottom of the article.
Personally I am in favor of NYCSubway8253 on the L line.jpg, as it shows the L along a route where it normally runs. The other picture has (1) too much glare along the front of the train, and (2) shows the L  train at a location that it does not show outdoors. Here are some other pictures for consideration:
Rockaway Pkwy BMT td (2019-01-25) 01.jpg|Rockaway Pkwy BMT td (2019-01-25) 01.jpg; the L train at Rockaway Parkway

message: Thanks for adding the proposed L/K skip-stop. I had been planning to add it, but never got around to it. I was the person who unearthed it and shared it. Where did you find it? Thanks.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 18:01, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: No problem. I was looking on NYC Transit Forums and came across a thread that had the plans linked to a PDF. I may also do the same and mention the F Express/G to Bergen as well as the plans for the A, B, C, D, H and Q trains. I may be retired from editing, but I don't mind helping out here and there. —LRG5784 (talk · contribs · email) 18:25, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  Are you also a member of the forums? It would be great to have you back here. While we both agree that the naming scheme should not have been changed, it has been done. Even a few more edits here and there are very appreciated. Thanks so much.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 21:23, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Seconded. We always appreciate any additional information that can be added about NYC transit topics.  I hope you can come and make some more edits, even if occasionally. There are going to be a lot of transit changes in the next few years so this project will be very busy. epicgenius (talk) 22:18, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  I haven't been on NYCTF in ages. I wouldn't mind logging in and posting again, but to be honest with Facebook groups like Transport News, Photography and Videography that have come to existence, I personally feel the need for online forums are becoming a thing of the past. I'll do my best to come on here and there. Trust me, I am not happy with the guideline naming changes at all and it drove me away from Wikipedia. But if you ever need assistance with anything, please do not hesitate to drop me an email. —LRG5784 (talk · contribs · email) 22:46, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
