NX Express

The would not have helped at all, since the total frequency was the same.

I was about to say that... Let me propose my own, with a bit more realism: Because of a police investigation, the power had to be shut off to the southbound 8 Av Local track. It is not usable between 59 St (including 59 St station) and 34 St - Penn Station (including 34 St station). Affected:

Why is any of this a problem? If 57 St can turn the with the running through on weekend, it can surely turn even the with the running through at late night headways.

Okay, then: Makes all stops; no trains between Essex St and Broad St. Suspended, use . @Latest change: via tunnel.

The foaming in this thread is killing me. 300' trains? Really? Here's how I would do it: Runs to 57 St/6 Av via 6 Av. Assuming the closure would affect the area north of 34 St as well - I would run it in two sections, the first from Brooklyn, via 6 Av to 57 St or Queens Plaza. The second would be Astoria to [the north end of the FASTRACK zone]. Ends at 10 PM.

Trains stop at 14 and 23 St. Rerouted from Essex St, via the to West 4 St. Trains run every 10 minutes after 10 PM. What is there to change for the ? Doesn't run at 10PM... Note that at 10PM, the + is less than 13 tph.

No, an engineer is also the person who drives/operates trains on the national railroad network. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railroad_engineer - note that it mentions train operator, but only as an a.k.a.

No trains between Atlantic Av and 205 St. Extended to 205 St, all times. Runs via Brighton Exp to Coney Island, then through Coney Island to 59 St . No trains between Atlantic/Pacific and Whitehall St. NEXT Because of a mechanical problem, both downtown local tracks are unusable at W4 St.

If the both run via CPW local, and the is not there, there's nothing stopping the switches from being set to CPW Local > Concourse. Nobody ever said trains cannot diverge, just that switches can't be moved.

Why not just have the run CPW local and the CPW express, so the stay to 168/207 and the to Concourse?

Agreed. Brooklyn-bound trains run via the from West 4 St to Jay St. No trains between Essex St and 71 Av (trains run to Chambers St). NEXT (let's avoid the foam here): Because of a switch control failure, the switches in Homeball Alley cannot be switched. This means everything between 125 St and 145 St on CPW.

Trains run via the between West 4 St and Jackson Hts. Trains run via the between West 4 St and Jackson Hts. Trains run via the between West 4 St and 59 St. Trains run via the between West 4 St and 5 Av / 53 St. Summary: 8 Av Local: 23 tph 6 Av Local @ W4 St: 21 tph 6 Av Exp: 22 tph NEXT Due to a control tower failure, the switches at 71 Av cannot be moved. This prevents 71 Av from being used as a terminus.

Realism FTW... No trains between 2 Av and Brighton Beach. Trains split at 34 St / Herald Sq and run in two sections: ......... 71 Av to Coney Island via the in Manhattan and Queens ......... 205 St to 34 St. via tunnel Reverted to shuttle. NEXT Because of a control tower failure, no switch along 8 Av between 14 and 72 St can be moved. They can be set once, but not moved after that.

No trains between 241 St and 3 Av/149 St. The last stop on some northbound trains is 148 St - Lenox Term. Trains rerouted to the line. Northbound trains terminate at 149 St, 167 St, Burnside Av, Kingsbridge Rd, or Bedford Pk Bl. Trains stop at 155 and 163 St. Extended to Bedford Pk Bl middays. Rerouted to Bedford Pk Bl all times except nights. NEXT Because of a structural failure, the express tracks at 34 St - Herald Sq are impassable. In addition, the local tracks can only accommodate 15 tph (per track).

The can go to 6 Av, and then terminate at, say, 57 St or Queens Plaza.

Most likely some type of foul odor in that car.

It's probably just a train or two that's terminating there, if they in fact do mean Queens Plaza. Can't imagine that they would mess the up that badly.

This is interesting... Due to switch maintenance at the Astoria-Ditmars Boulevard Station, some uptown and trains are terminating at the Queens Plaza Station, 57th Street-7th Avenue Station or the 42nd Street-Times Square Station. Please expect delays in and train service at this time.

Trains run via the in both directions between W4 St and Jay St. No trains between Chambers St and Euclid Av. To provide space for the , trains run in two sections: ......... 71 Av to Whitehall St. ......... Broad St to Met Av. Transfer between sections at Canal St. To minimize switching delays, trains run local on Broadway. Trains run via the bridge. NEXT The Clark St and Cranberry St tubes are closed due to a water condition.

Trains run local in Manhattan. No trains between Chambers and 168 St. Trains stop at the local track at 59 St. NEXT Because of a police investigation, no express trains can pass Times Square. Affected: PS Remember that ++ > 30 tph.

Thanks!

No trains between 34 St and 59 St. Suspended No trains between Chambers and 168 St. No trains between 59 St and Coney Island. Trains run via the between W4 St and Coney Island in both directions. Transfer across the platform at Broadway-Lafayette to continue your trip. Trains run via the or (alternate trains) between W4 St and Brooklyn. Transfer across the platform at Broadway-Lafayette to continue your trip. NEXT No express trains can pass Atlantic Avenue. Affected: .

On which line?

Why waste the R143s that already have CBTC?

Can I have a station entrance sign, in a square shape (for my avatar)? Bleeker-Lafayette <- on a black background <- on a white background in that order. Thanks!
