I heard that multiple trains were stuck in southern Brooklyn with no way to get into Manhattan or Queens.

But they don’t go to queens 

It sounds like some stuff went wrong during last nights work

I’ve seen work trains on express culver lately  during rush though maybe that’s different 

Hopefully they will tackle the union st issue tonight during the work. 

It’s over.but why did it happen is what customers want to know.

Ive noticed anything on its first couple of days always has issues. The second ave subway also did. Go back the advisories week of 1/1/17.youll see what I mean.

It’s still on the site but it seems trains are moving.

No it’s over already.

Today I heard the on scanner the train operator of N train announce the incident at 20av. I can’t day exactly what I heard but I will say say he sounded very upset 😢 .Also I happenend to be going to 86st on R line when the Jay St incident occurred . At Atlantic Platform was packed ! I was first thinking why not run some trains local but it’s very hard to do that since they have to stop at DeKalb and merge with the  and  . One  went local 2  ‘s cane went express . I took one and for heaven sake why do we have to wait 3 min to get into 36th st .Why dosnet the train operator announce himself by like 25th and then they will just give the lineup. I don’t understand. Especially with countdown clocks don’t the tower operators know what train is coming ?

It seems like the MTA has given up on the real time info for the Franklin Ave Shuttle.

I don’t get why the N is express on 4th ave this weekend.Why merge on other tracks when just it and the R could be together all the way to Manhattan ?

They have to write emergency brakes. And I want to know does this happens in other cities too? 

But it’s the truth they are the emergency brakes . You might be right though . Some people might think “what ? 10 emergencies a day”? The reality is its very little . They run 8000 trips i believe 

What does the average rider think when they see “ a trains brakes were activated” ? I would think “the MTA really needs to fix those trains!” They should write “emergency brakes” that’s a little better. 

It’s still going on. They are still blaming the issue on “train with brakes activated”.an hour later I feel they should say why brakes were activated for an hour plus 😊.

But if the switch problem is at Hudson Yards can’t they run service to Times Square like regular (before the Hudson yards days)? Why do they have to terminate trains in Queens I don’t understand.

Has anyone ever been on a train where the doors didn’t open at your stop? Tonight  I was on a train and they  said “this is - the next stop is “ but never opened the doors.in this case they did after but anyone ever witness doors not opening?

Poor passengers that’s the second week in a row a train got stuck in the 60th st tunnel for a nice amount of time.

According the MTA site Manhattan bound  trains are via the  this weekend but according to subway time and a t/o I asked today  train service is normal this weekend in Brooklyn.

Wait...what...

Maybe there are not enough (4) trains in service now so some have to end at bowling green to make up for service ?

It depends on the issue whether they can divert all trains to run local or run express and that Saturday night incident, they couldn't send anything through because the switch issue blocked off both tracks (Southbound). And if this happened during the weekday Rush Hours or Middays, I can tell you it would've been much worse.

But I think they would have worked quicker to fix it but that’s just me . I think  this issue might have been caused by trackwork and it’s possible today’s  Burnside Ave issues were also caused by trackwork.

I believe (5) is always express whenever it runs on lex including late nights unless G.O.s

The issue was a stuck train in the 53rd Street Tunnel.

Speaking of stuck trains what happens in a medical emergency? Does that person have to wait till train moves ?

Service Change  Posted: 08/05/2018 12:07AM 
 

There is no and  train service in both directions between 59 St-Columbus Circle and 125 St because of switch problems at 72 St.

For service between 59 St-Columbus Circle and 125 St, passengers can take M10 or train service stopping at nearby stations. 

I have a question ? If this happend during rush would service still Be out? Something tells me no! Anyone agree? 

This morning they wrote that there was challenges switching trains .i don’t get what the real problem is .Sounds like this was planned last minute with no prep whatsoever.
