Autumn afternoon at Kew Gardens
A walk around Kew Gardens at the end of October 2009. The cloud base was very low – and so were the planes on the flight path into Heathrow!

I really don’t like the noise coming from those flights to heathrow
But this place is lovely, I can’t wait to go there again this summer
Thanks Robyn!
You give a wonderful sense of the enormous scale of Kew Gardens. Lovely mood and lively exploration.
the stations look ugly and the trains look old !! I don’t like it
@senatorxbox360dude
they’ll walk even faster in 2012 because everybody knows that the subway is gonna go up right into the road.
(it didnt happen in the movie, but im just sayin, it MIGHT happen.)
@iotbs7 how old are you like 90??
Sure wish I could be back in New York riding the subway:/
oh my old new york i miss u!!!
joder si los trenes van mas rapidos que en el metro de tenerife!! lastima que las estaciones sean tan cutres
u should of gotten in one of those trains (heading to manhattan) so u can have a train race
I love NYC! And even though the Subway is a piece of shit compared to the one here in DC.. I like its complexity, coverage and the fact that it runs 24/7 and has express lines.
Little known fact a lot of the older trains were made in italy.
The only thing i miss about NJ is the train. I hope I can ride the subway anytime soon.

A few years ago the MTA had posted some signs about trains not meeting each other this way because of the danger of transfers back and forth of huge, surging, rush-hour crowds and with this, I am in total agreement.
However when this REPEATEDLY happens during non-rush hour, particularly late-nite service, there is absolutely no excuse.
@SatchmoSings
you are so right. I was on the C train at Broadway Junction and as soon as the A train pulls up, the C train closes its doors and leaves. MTA is the definition of crappy.

Another complaint I have is the delays on Queens-bound locals just as the extra trains that covered rush-hour are „put to bed“ in the train yard; the delays that this causes are both staggering and also totally unnecessary.

There are a very few stations that do have acoustic tile and in these places is is most definitely possible to have a conversation in a normal voice when trains pull in.
I would think that more stations should have this done; it would prevent hearing damage.

I would think that thirteen SECONDS is not so much of a „pesky consideration;“ I have made it a point to time it, more than once, with a stopwatch.
Additionally, I have seen that in too many cases, a lot of this is passive-aggressive behaviour on the part of train crews and dispatchers, so, that said, my way is most definitely better.
This is New York City, „pal,“ not for the slow-paced life of you and your disability checks.
You should become a dispatcher and solve all the problems then. I’m sure you’d be awesome. Of course, it’s not really that much of a problem since even if your transfer leaves right away (for all those pesky considerations of keeping the trains evenly spaced), another one will come in about five minutes tops anyway. But I’m sure your way is better.
nyc subway is so noisy!How can the people who ride on it handle the noise that the train makes?
Typical crappy service; the local leaves just as the express pulls in!
„Federal Express“ would FIRE people left & right if they pulled such junk on customers.
once in a while.
do people ever fall or jump or get pushed in front of those trains? or is that just in the movies?
wow timed transfers! damn how convenient!
I don’t mean to ‘one up’ you, but it’s been 50 years for me. Left NYC in Sept. ’60 and was only back once, for 3 days, in spring, 1961. I remember the station well, since it was my starting point for every trip downtown.
People always walk faster in New York
I love New York and I love the New Yorker Subway. Hope, I can come back soon!!!
Yes, certain lines have „timed“ transfers, generally where the two trains are on parallel tracks facing the same platform. Thus it is pointless and dumb to RUN through the crowd for the train that’s sitting there waiting for you! Folks, please don’t!
