You could probably get if you ask a

station clerk. Not sure now with COVID if they will give .

I was just curious.does anyone know why the (L) runs every 5 min on weekends and during the week it’s every 10. Kind off odd.No?

The  is running normal headways now. 

I don’t think it will take that long. I think when the and resume thier normal weekday schedule the express will return as well. They want to run as much service as they can to reduce the density . The   however that will take time probably.

For those interested. As of today 5/1 the  has resumed regular scheduled service. On Monday 5/4 the  will resume service to Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue. On Wednesday 5/6 the #  line will resume regular scheduled service. 

Is there a schedule for when all lines will resume?

I don’t think the  and  are normal yet.They are running Sunday headways. The  and  are the only lines running weekday service so far.

It looks like the and   train’s is running regular weekday service today . Shows even short turns to Burnside! It looks like they are the only  lines operating regular service right now from what I see.Slowly  but surely.

Once every 20 minutes according to the MTA website. Not sure if they’re still running Lefferts-bound  trains local.

Looks like  trains are express now in Brooklyn .(C) is every 12 minutes now

They were running all  trains local.  I think they made the change to half local and half express because they've been able to increase service in recent days, so there's enough trains to have both local and express service, and maintain acceptable headways at local station.  Trains are running every 20 minutes both local to Lefferts and express to Far Rockaway, so on average that's service every 10 minutes at express stations and every 20 minutes at local stations.  Previously they were only running trains every 20 minutes total, so they had to go all local or else there would be 40 minute gaps at local stations.  There already were at stations out past Rockaway Boulevard.

Hopefully they can get the  running again soon, but they'll probably still be running Lefferts  trains local for a while, just as they did before the  was suspended.

Yes many trains are starting to run much better headway’s.  Subway time shows the  running about every 6-8 min or so this morning  also the  Is every 10 min . I think this pandemic will end much quicker then people think . At least the worst of it . 

It makes sense so at least the people don’t have to get off the train to get into Manhattan 

Anyone saw the advisory today. It said  trains are running on the  line from Broadway Junction to Chambers st. Anyone was there?

According the pigeon app it says there was a derailment there . Not sure how true that is...

Wow I wonder If everyone is still on the train. Or did they bring rescue train back to 86th. 

It’s probably right on the switch. a train went BIE before but then they said  it was 34th. 

It’s probably the same train. They just moved it to get service running again on the  and  lines. I’ve noticed less of these work train incidents by the way. Or at least less time that service is affected

Don’t tell me a northbound  or  train  struck someone north of 59th st  and everyone on that train had to suffer during the investigation.

At Euclid Av, after 3:10 PM. The proper send-off as doors closed, crews check to see if all passengers were off the train, and then waited at least 5 minutes in moment of silence. As they leave NYCT  with its classic logos and signage for the final time with cheering and applause, an R179   arrived at the Manhattan side. That is as the past meets the future. 

The R42s, Gone but never forgotten.

It was not there 5 min after crews checked. It left pretty quickly. It had too as there were a bunch of trains that needed to come in, the next train came in on the  track if anyone was paying attention.

Wait a minute they can’t run the  express (And then local)  to Bedford Park? Why don’t they run  to Bedford and  to 205th like rush hour? I don’t see why the

had to run to 168th .
There are switches at stations up ahead so they can switch back.

I'd rather be at Franklin Avenue IND on my line rather than where Wallyhorse wanted to send "his"  train 😀. 

 

It’s not so bad if they terminate it on the middle track. As long as they send them out the other way in a timely manner back to Manhattan. But now that I think about it it requires a move to 6th line and a merge with  and  that’s not so great.

It started again... so the question is how can they run regular 3 service from Utica during this service change.  BY other transit systems do they deal with these things better?

Didn’t evolve it’s over, maybe one train was turned. Maybe

This is where if the is a 480' train, they could have it run via the  between West 4th and Essex and then via the to Broadway Junction and terminate there.  That would at least give those in midtown going to points east of Broadway Junction a one-seat ride there and then being able to continue from there normally. 

The MTA has an issue that whenever service is messed up trains can never run normally . In this case once they got to Broadway Junction I doubt service was normal. I’m sure trains were not running normal headways. It’s not a bad idea though

I saw 3 or 4 two days ago. 

Are at least half of  trains R179,s?

.wow an  took a wrong lineup! How did that happen? Shouldn’t the train operators first check with RCC to see if they should take the lineup?

What happened today at 96th st on 7th ave. Don’t tell me a switch problem halted service on all 3 lines. Sounds more like a signal problem .
