Due to a train with mechanical problem at Queensboro Plaza, some northbound  and trains are terminating at 57 Street-7 Avenue at this time.

 

What about the service? Did this occur on the outdoor portion out of the 60th street tunnel?  
 

When the fastrack begins what about the service? Does it end early or continue normal service?

How do you know they're going to tackle Chambers St?

 

 

Doesn't affect it since Yankees game is on Friday and FASTRACK ends Friday morning 5AM.

 

I think they going to tackle Chambers Street because it is in shambles. Lots of work needed to be done there.

 

So we have to wait and see what the MTA does with it

Due to a train with ongoing mechanical problems at Lafayette Av, northbound trains are bypassing Lafayette Av.

Still ongoing. I hope everybody got out of the train.

Interesting that the MTA changed the and the from Service Change to "Sandy Reroute". That is much better than "Service Change"

maybe they want to slowly progress in loss of service from point a to point b. also to make sure the equipment is in right place for the  5 am rush. they probably need the time to do the arrangement before the track closed to traffic.that my theory..

 

Queens Blvd Line is always busy during rush hours. So therefore I agree with pjbr40. They need to complete the tasks before 5am or otherwise we got a big problem.

 

New FASTRACK schedules have been put up as follows, including 2 new additions

 

March 25th - 29th:       Lexington Avenue Local (Grand Central - 125th Street both directions, all trains will run express in this section)

 

April 1st - 5th:  Nassau Street (Essex Street - Broad Street)

 

April 8th - 12th:     Grand Concourse (161st Street-Yankee Stadium - 205th Street)

 

April 15th - 19th:       Broadway (All Manhattan stations)

 

On the proper QBL FASTRACK, yes maybe not splitting the  , extending  hours or running the   to Astoria, ending     service so early etc is a bad idea, but this is the 1st time it's been done on the QBL section of line so it's really a learning curve for the MTA as the only real way they'll know how good or bad the effects on passengers will be is to try it and see, if it works out first time great, if not in some or all areas then they know to change things for next time! (although if it goes really bad there may not be a next time!) Only time will tell I suppose

 

 

I'm sure the MTA will send out uniformed crews at the affected stations to guide the confused passengers directing them to the buses offering alternatives. I'm sure they going to post signs that says "NO TRAIN SERVICE AT THIS STATION USE INSTEAD"

Are they extending the to Astoria during the QBL FASTRACK. It makes sense to do so.

 

No they will not. The can handle it alone. It late night hours. Same thing with the handling the 8th ave crowds late night.

I was suprised that they are not splitting the service. Becoming almost like a shuttle. They will also provide extra service until 2:30am. Why they cannot provide additional service to pick up the service in Manhattan. The extra service could terminate at WTC (unless they going to do some track work @ WTC area.

Due to switch problems at Essex St, [ M] train is suspended from 2 Av to Myrtle Av in both directions,   train is suspended from Marcy to Broad St in both directions

 

Allow additional travel time.

I'm assuming the is terminating at 2nd Ave for now.

Due to  power outages at Church Av, there is no train service between Jay St & Kings Hwy in both directions.

 

Some southbound train service is terminating at Bedford Av,

 

Allow additional travel time.

 

 

 

 

Due to a moving platform problem at 42 St, expect delays in service on the 42 St Shuttle train in both directions at this time.


 

 

 

this is a first!

Pretty impressive that they resumed the service in just 4 1/2 hours I thought it would take much longer.
