I've been seeing a lot of more of these as of late, and not even at outdoor stations with leaves. Any changes in personnel or signaling that could lead to an increase?
Over at West 4th St. s/b 8 Av express, overruns tend to be pretty rare. I've never seen a train roll past the edge of the platform (there's a lot of space), but what's happening a lot is that T/Os are going a few feet too far and missing the punch box. I saw a particularly embarrassing one today where a T/O overshot the box, had to get out of the cab and walk onto the platform. But his C/R didn't know and closed down on him while he was leaving the train, so the op got stuck in the doors and had to pull out his flashlight to signal the C/R, open up, walk over to the box, and then walk back into the cab (which he'd left open the whole time) and sit down. I'm not naming any more particulars, as I could only imagine how many ways he'd get written up for that one while I saw it happen. But then the next guy overshot, and the next guy too. Something up?
