Does anyone think it really made sense to run the  train today ? There have been nonstop alerts on that line all day.

I’ve been seeing lots of complaints of trains not opening door when they are halfway in a station and there’s is a BIE. Does everyone really have to sit the 20 min or however long it is? .I don’t think is fair.

Looks like no? Maybe they were installing bluetooth modules just in case?

It’s inaccurate.Dosent work correctly at least not tonight .I tested it.

Looks like SubwayTime decided to call the short turn  trains . Anyone know if these trains to the public are  or .Im curious!

Anyone realize that the  are using a single track to merge at DeKalb this weekend.took a  home tonight not realizing this but thank g-d no real delays.(probobaly cause the  only uses that side of the bridge on weekends).

They could have turned them at Kings Hwy? Daniel The Cool was that an option you think? There is no other place really though to turn it. That’s the issue with the  

And also once the (B)s from 145 (from before the incident)went back north there was nothing from Brighton.Did it really make sense to suspend the  ? Maybe.Im wondering though it made sense to restore it being it was already 7pm.

So the  did start running again.But it seemed like it wasn’t straight service cause it seemed there were no  ,s out of 145 till the ones from Brooklyn made it there.

The  is most likely done for the day.

I heard that the  "would" operate as  short turns between Chambers and Broadway Junction.

Last week when there were switch problems at Broadway Lafayette that seperated the M in 2 sections , on SubwayTime  the ones from

Chambers to Broadway Junction were labeled  on SubwayTime. Not from the junction though .

EDIT: Guess what? Around the horn is apparently right .

I wonder why they choose this.Maybe to not get people confused.

Mmm that’s true. Says the signal problem is at 63rd so I wonder if it affects that’s station.

MTA Service Status

Service Change   Posted: 12/11/2017 11:39PM  
 

trains are stopping along the  line between 36 St (Qns) and 47-50 Sts-Rockefeller Ctr in both directions

There is no train service between Lexington Av-63 St and 96 St in both directions. 

These service changes are because of signal problems at Lexington Av-63 St.

so where can you turn the  train? The only place is Herald Square If In not mistaken.the only other choice is too run it to queens on the  

It seems like the  will run weekends.They probobaly forgot to put it in the video.the website official advisory says yes weekends,no weekdays. Why don’t they run to Essex or chambers on weekdays. To save money? I was wondering what the point was of running it on weekends but if they do weekends then do weekdays too.

Many times it’s signal problems also and the train is not at fault for that.

There was a car in the Jamaica Yard lead tracks, and there have been the usual signal failures and overcrowding.

other than that, not much...

Also there lots of “train with mechanical problems” I wish they would be honest and write something else many time I don’t think the “train” is at fault

I realize it’s local in queens but that shouldn’t delay it so much.

So Underway NYC app received an update and in that update  it shows Trip ID numbers one of the things I noticed tonight is that some trains are getting to their terminals very late.Like now I’m tracking the 2324  from Stillwelk and right now it’s not due to 179 till 1:38 am when it should reach there at 12:54 am.Do trains really run that late a lot?

So how did they terminate both the  and  at Broadway Junction.Thats impossible.No?

Wow so I got that set apparently. 

I wanted to mention that last week Friday I got a r142 6 train.How lucky was I? How many sets are left ?

Today there were at least 10 bie that were emailed.Its too much .Do people really have time for these things?

Coney Island is the only yard that regularly operates/maintains the Siemens sets (except for the ultra rare Siemens  train).
 

Generally, yes.  IIMN, they also have to verify that the red signal was what caused the train to go BIE (make sure it wasn't something or someone on the tracks as well).

Thank g-d I wasn't in a train like this and I hope i never will be .I once was in a BIE train for 15-20 min in which they found debris on the track .But this mornings issue seemed more serious thankfully I wasn't there .

When a train goes BIE because of a signal problem what happens.Everyone sits on the train till they fix it? (I've noticed this has been happening in the 60th street tube and I'm wondering what happens with the people on these trains)

I meant that .

Or they can turn at Euclid maybe?
