It’s been a while since I’ve ridden the LA subway since I don’t live there anymore. I’ve noticed that the trains slow down a lot sooner before approaching a station. Is that something that they’ve doing recently?
They've done that because the stretch between Pershing and McArthur has been a type of bottleneck on the line. Additionally trains pile up in that elbow of the route and there have been numerous collision close calls.
@@duckplayerfilthybaboon8The Regional Connector trains operates on different tracks because they are light rail trains that go underground. They are not heavy rail subway trains. Only the B and D lines are true subway lines. The Regional Connector is used by the A and E light rail lines.
Because that's a blind turn coming into L.A Union Station and if the operator is going full throttle and the light is red, he won't have time to react and will miss the stop, potentially resulting in a serious collision with a parked train. Also, most times the train will switch tracks to the other side so he needs to proceed slow as well for obvious reasons. Even with the slow speed there have been times when the operator has had to really hammer the brakes to react in time for what the signal is displaying.
Could I help moovit community postings new pictures of the station because rest their nothing we can do about it but helping one another is more important
I love the new announcement at 7th Street Metro Center and Union Station
Me too

It looks like they brought back the announcements of 7th street metro center Station part
24:25 That’s new, did they recently add signals to the 7th St Metro Center Station?

@@TrashBulldogProductions Oh I see, thanks for the response
They redid it since the Regional Connector has expanded the rails of the system

@@TrashBulldogProductionsInteresting, and the upcoming extensions to the D line could make the bottleneck worse. I could see why they would do this.
Why the train going so slow coming out from the tunnel at Union Station
