Hot take, the signaling culture of British Rail and the NYCT Subway map to the same bin.
So riding in the R211 I like that the speedometer is visible, but they made the cabs deeper such that it eliminated the little sanctuary at the front of the train and now I'm in the way of people getting on and off. Like what's the point? NYCTA considering 3 person crews? 😡
