Alternative A to Far Rockaway announcement! Notice how it says “Far Rockaway-Mott Avenue” instead of just Far Rockaway.
To my knowledge this only plays on the 8 Av Local / Delancey program.

R211A “Q” (really just an A train) at 72 St during the A to 96 St planned work
(11/10/24).
Since there was no announcement program for the A to 96 St on the R211’s at the time, the Q via 6th Av program was used instead.

R160 F to Smith-9 Sts Announcement.
Saw this out of nowhere while at Jay St. All F trains are ending at Church Av this weekend so maybe the conductor accidentally selected Smith-9 instead? It played all of the automated announcements as well LOL.
