Service Change  Posted: 07/04/2015  6:06PM
 

Due to FDNY activity at Lexington Av/59 St, the following service changes are in effect:

trains are running on the line between 36 St (QNS) and Lexington Av/63 St in both directions.

Southbound trains will run on their normal path from 57 St-7 Av.

There is no train service between 57 St-7 Av and Queensboro Plaza in both directions.

Shuttle train service will be provided between Astoria-Ditmars Blvd and Queensboro Plaza in both directions.

, and trains are running with delays in both directions.

Allow additional travel time. 

Usually the would get knocked off at 57th street and no service toward Astoria. They are providing a shuttle service. The 60th street tunnel is having so many issues. They need to have a serious repair during the fastrack period. 

Service is back to normal.

I think that they should send out shuttle buses by now since it still ongoing. The Brooklyn buses might be already packed.

I disagree with having trains make local stops southbound between Canal and Atlantic for this situation. Riders can take the at Jay St-MetroTech and change at Atlantic for Coney Island-bound service.

I thought that too because it is a waste of time with the making stops. Why they couldn't have shuttle running from Stillwell to 4th Ave-9th street. That way still have some connections with other lines. They should deploy shuttle buses by now since it is height of rush hour. 

Due to Con Edison related problems affecting signals at Jay St-MetroTech, the following service changes are in effect:

There is no train service between 4 Av-9 St and Jay St-MetroTech in both directions.

Some southbound trains are running on the line from Jay St-MetroTech to Euclid Av.

Some trains are running on the line between W 4 St-Washington Square and Coney Island-Stillwell Av in both directions.

Some southbound trains terminate at 2 Av.

There is no train service between Church Av and Bedford-Nostrand Avs in both directions.

Some southbound trains are running on the line from Canal St to DeKalb Av.

Expect delays on the , , , , , and trains in both directions.

For service into Brooklyn customers can also take the , , and train service.

As an alternative, customers are advised to take the B57 and B61 bus service.

Allow additional travel time.

It is a mess. Especially they are rerouting some of the southbound via the line. I assume to provide service at Jay St- Metrotech so riders can use the to Coney Island. 

I got the feeling that the might go to Jamaica Center since it is late night and Jamaica Center can handle the amount of trains. Or just stop there. They do turn the at 179th at weekends when there is work being done @ Jamaica Center

New fastrack posted:

On week of Sept 14 and 21st. No between Briarwood and Jamaica 179th street. (shuttle bus alternative).

On week of Sept 28th and Nov 2nd No between Jamaica Center and Union Turnpike. (shuttle bus alternative). * Not sure if the will be rerouted to the after Union Turnpike. Usually they do that when there is work after Union Turnpike.

Nov 9th and 16th. Upper West Side fastrack. doesn't operate north of 59th street, runs 2 sections, and ends early.

I was on the E train around 12:30pm I got on 5th ave/ 53rd street and wanted to get off at Court Square for the . The train moved fine til we got stopped 2 times at the 53rd street tunnel. The train stopped for about 10 minutes 450 feet away from Court Square station! I was on 1st car and saw the exit sign "450 feet away exit". Had to wait for the to move ahead forward.

It tends to be like that. Anything that happens north of 57th street they tend to terminate the and at 57th street. They need to shutdown the Astoria portion for an entire weekend so they can focus fixing the signals and the switches.

This is unique service delay.

 There was a building collapse at 322 Broadway, Brooklyn. The and trains are operating at 10 mph between Marcy and Hewes in both directions. I assume to prevent more vibrations and causing more damage.

*for some reason I cannot copy and paste from the website.

are local in both directions from 42nd street to 125th street. Due to 116th street festival. It didn't mention about the so I'm assuming it running local too. Maybe to provide extra service to prevent overcrowding on the

Signal/Switch problems at Bowling Green causing the to cut back to Brooklyn Bridge. running with delays. Also until 8pm tonight no countdown clocks due to system upgrading.

Signal problems at 49th street running express from 57th street to 42nd street.

They need to fix the issue. Maybe set up a emergency GO for late night to allow workers to fix the issue

Canarsie-Rockaway Pkwy bound trains are terminating at Myrtle Av, due to a train with mechanical problems at Wilson Av.

Allow additional travel time.

The BMT Broadway Line is always messed up anyway.

The MTA needs to focus fixing the Broadway line. Especially north of 57th street. I know that in July the "Fastrack" will cover the Broadway line but not enough.

I wonder is that a good thing or a bad thing? Extended to 179th street and/or Jamaica Center. I know the extends to 179th on few weekends. At least they are not cutting any services off.

Not again! I think the switches at Canal Street cannot handle many trains right now.

I think the is just serving all stops in the meantime. It's actually a good thing if they keep the issue to the alone rather than spreading to all the other lines.

The problem is the southbound is running on the and the line due to construction.
