Assuming permanent damage (a few weeks): Shuttle buses between Queensboro Plaza and Astoria-Ditmars, with a stop at Court Sq. Trains run to 96th St, with some terminating at 59th St-Lex at peak times, local in Manhattan. Trains suspended

Anyone know when Sea Beach SB is set to open?

Why are the breaks on the Geometry Car so loud? I've never heard any train with breaks that loud with screeching coming from hell I'd guess

This is assuming the Broadway line is NOT affected... On 6th Ave: The downtown local track is used as the downtown track for ALL trains, and the downtown express track is used as the uptown express track for ALL trains (between W4 and 42nd) Service reduced Normal express uptown, local downtown Normal local downtown, skips 14th and 23rd downtown Trains routed to Chambers St, change at Essex for Local from Canal to 34th, Downtown normal Some trains begin/end at 34th St in order to alleviate congestion on the local tracks (Assuming the switches north of 21st also have problems) - Select trains terminate at Bedford-Nostrand or Nassau Av, with limited service to Court Sq

South Ferry - Chambers, 42nd (non-Rush Hour) or 96th (Rush Hour) to 242nd Flatbush - 14th St (w/ some trains via Lex), 42nd - Wakefield via Express New Lots Ave - 14th, 42nd - 148th via Local via 6th Ave Express between W4th and 59th Terminates at 14th St by using express tracks north of Canal St, then running express to 14th and switching back using the switches north of 23rd St, which should be in the cleared area (yeah, I know, extra) via 6th Ave local between W4th and 5th Ave, reduced service w/ reduced service on the between Essex and Queens as well. Shuttle buses serve non-serviced stations on 7th Ave, but (imo) not required on 8th Ave LIRR: - All Hempstead, Far Rockaway, West Hempstead, Babylon, and Long Beach trains routed to Atlantic Terminal. Use for service to Penn. - Port Washington, Ronkonkoma, Port Jefferson (non-diesel) trains rerouted to Hunterspoint Ave. Use Hunterspoint Ave for Penn service. - Montauk, Oyster Bay, and Port Jefferson diesel trains to Long Island City. Use NYC Ferry service (cross-honored) or trains at Vernon - Jackson for service to Manhattan. - Service reduced on all lines, CTZ train service suspended. NJT: - Northeast Corridor, Raritan, and NJCL trains routed to Hoboken, ferry service is increased and cross-honored. Services reduced slightly. Amtrak: - All trains terminate at Secaucus Jct in the south, Northeast Corridor & Acela terminates at New Rochelle in the north while Adirondack, Empire, Lake Shore trains via MNR to GCT directly. MNR cross-honors Amtrak tickets to provide service between New Rochelle and Manhattan. - Bus service provided between Secaucus Jct. and GCT I don't have time right now to figure out the buses, sooorry. I might edit and do it later.

Let me try an actual scenario... Breaking News! Due to a recent hurricane both the East New York and Jamaica Yards have suffered significant damage. Most of the subway cars are in good shape but there is no way to get them out due to fried third rails, track destruction, and structure damage. How do you reduce and change service in order to satisfy demand? (Lets say there were 10 trains stuck at ENY and 15 at Jamaica)

Weekdays: Runs express on Fulton, but service slightly reduced for @ Rutgers Weekends & Late Nights: No express service, runs local on Fulton From 34th St to Canal St, the Northbound express track is used as a Southbound track All Times: Some/all trains run between Canal St and 168th St. Southbound trains skip 23rd St and Spring St. Weekdays: 75% of trains run to Euclid Ave via local, 25% to Canal Weekends: Trains run only between Canal and 168th Rush Hours: Some trains routed via the to provide capacity for trains to use Rutgers 34th - Jamaica. Use in lower Manhattan. High St, WTC, Chambers and Fulton are closed.

Assuming the signal problems halt service, and the 59th St is Lex-59th, and the QBL power outage doesn't affect the switches west of Northern Blvd; Limited rush hour service between West 4th and Bedford Park Blvd only Canal St - Northern Blvd via QBL Local Coney Island - Church Ave, Bergen - 23rd St Ely Ave via 53rd St Bergen - Court Sq Two sections: Marcy Ave - Broad St, Broadway Jct - Jamaica Between Metropolitan Ave and Myrtle Ave, and between 74th - Roosevelt and Jamaica-179th Shuttle buses between Myrtle-Wyckoff and Marcy Ave following the , and between Myrtle Ave and Broadway Jct via 2nd Ave to 96th St as terminus Between Coney Island and Prospect Park, with single tracked trains between Prospect Park and Atlantic Ave at 3-4 TPH to 2nd Ave and between 74th - Roosevelt and Jamaica-Parsons Shuttle train between Queensboro Plaza and Astoria

My C/O said explicitly said there was a train BIE once on the stretch between 36 and Atlantic. Somebody posted the Conductor's Announcement Guidelines somewhere on here, and its just what it says to say. I guess it's to not make people too mad about the delay, to give the notion that the train will move soon. Usually when people think of a train with BIE, they think it will take a long time to get going.

Haha, a R142 consist just rolled into Bowling Green, signed up as a service. It was flagged to stop by an employee on the platform, who told the operator. Op realized it was an accident and changed it to , what it was supposed to be. I love these random slipups. Might post a video later.

Isn't the platform for the SAS supposed to be behind one of the walls at Grand as a provision? Idk, somebody posted that some time ago

runs at a higher capacity to cover riders To Queens Plaza, covers Jamaica - To Queensbridge, - Shuttle from Roosevelt Ave - 179th St via QBE (only during weekdays, late nights via QBL) Two services - Metropolitan Ave to Essex St - Jackson Hts/Roosevelt to Parsons/Archer via and QBL (all times) To 96th St, covered by and on QB Shuttle buses btwn Roosevelt Ave and Queens Plaza OR Queensbridge

to Chambers St. Uptown trains skip Brooklyn Bridge Uptown trains go local to 42nd - GC Pelham Bay Park - 42nd - GC

Ummm... it uses the other switch to go back? (where the top arrow is)

lol Coney Island - Kings Highway, Prospect Park - 96th St Prospect Park - Bedford Park Blvd Shuttle buses from Kings Highway to Prospect Park oops im tired

Woodlawn - Grand Central via to Crown Heights. If it is rush-hours, there is limited service from Brooklyn Bridge - Flatbush Ave Pelham - Grand Central Shuttle bus from Grand Central to Fulton St Coney Island - Whitehall St, 34th St to Astoria making Broadway Lcl Stops 95th St - Whitehall St, if Whitehall backed up, trains routed to Broad St via 6th Avenue to 63rd St, then SAS Shuttle bus from Whitehall St to 34th St Trains replace in Queens, transfer at Jay St-Metrotech to Essex St, final stop

So what is actually closed? I know between 14th St and 33rd but 91st, Worth St. and Myrtle? Would like to do the scenario but it isn't clear.

Willets Point is probably gonna be redeveloped to some extent sometime within the next decade, like Hunters Point & Williamsburg Maybe not huge glass towers, but it is right next to two stadiums a huge and historically significant park and Flushing Bay which is in the process of being cleaned out. It's also close to the AND which with CBTC will be amazing for riders there It would be a nice area.

Two sections: Woodlawn - Bowling Green, Atlantic Ave - New Lots Ave Runs between Eastchester & Bowling Green, with some trains ending at Brooklyn Bridge if Bowling Green is packed. replaces rush hour service in Brooklyn Normal service Two sections: Wakefield - Wall St, Atlantic Ave - Bklyn College 148th St - Wall St, replaced in Brooklyn Shuttle bus service between Clark St and Atlantic Ave All trains via Bridge and DeKalb, use for lower Manhattan Service increased, runs on weekends as well (if applicable) Shuttle bus service between Court St and Atlantic Ave

Next?: Due to emergency Manhattan bridge repairs, only the Manhattan-bound side of the North Side of the Manhattan Bridge ( and ) is open. Additionally because of scheduled Sandy repairs, the Rutgers Tubes are closed. This is a weekday. How can you provide adequate service?

225th St - 96th St all times 242nd St - 96th St 148th and 145th St. closed, shuttle buses between those stations and 135th St and between New Lots and Borough Hall (Lex Platforms) Coney Island - 34th St via 6th Ave Exp & 59th Lex to Astoria To 96th St via 6th Avenue Lcl 95th St - Whitehall St Shuttle buses cover Whitehall St - 59th St (that's pretty long, some horrible jams I bet) Extended to 71st - Continental to serve QBL Lcl Coney Island - Columbus Circle, 145th St - 205th St Rockaways/Ozone - Columbus Circle, 145th St - Inwood via local Euclid Ave - 34th St/Penn, with some trains extended up to Columbus if there is room Shuttle buses cover CPW stations
