Well since nobody replied for like 12 hours...

 

A medium level track fire spread has caused the entire Broadway Junction station to be evacuated and closed until the fire is extinguished. How would you reroute the ?

: No service b/w Utica Avenue and Euclid Avenue, via Fulton Street Local.

: No service b/w 2nd Avenue or World Trade Center and Euclid Avenue.

: No service b/w Metropolitan Avenue via the and Crescent Street. Select trains run to Alabama Avenue, laying up via the yard.

: Suspended. All trains in service follow pattern.

: No service b/w Myrtle-Wyckoff Avenues and Atlantic Avenue.

What is the fuss about what borough Riverdale is in? It is just a neighborhood in the Bronx, and nothing can change that. If you want to be part of Manhattan, move to somewhere in it.

Back on topic, so now that the M60 and the Bx41 are Select Bus Service, I made this:

I don't know whether the proposed route is supposed to make all the stops either in the Bronx or Queens, so I made it semi-express.

Since no one has posted here for a few days:

 

A water main break at Houston and Lafayette Streets has cause big-time problems as BOTH the Lexington Avenue AND 6th Avenue Lines are affected by this.  The water main break caused structural problems in the area that will require a 6-8 week shutdown of both lines in the area.

Let's say Montague is open.

perfect timing for the train with two incident on same direction.

No, technically it only had 1 because they were rerouted via the , so the 2nd one didn't take effect.

If the goes express to 179th then what covers the local stops between Forest Hills and 179th?

He said the was extended to 179th.

There is no point to the (8) line; go to the Lexington Avenue station nearest to the 7th Avenue station and take a crosstown bus.

Due to signal problems at Flushing-Main St, some Main St-bound  trains are terminating at 111 St.

Allow additional travel time.

But they are passing 111th Street aren't they? Probably means Junction Boulevard.

The 6th Avenue line has been closed down. Trains cannot pass between 7th Avenue, 2nd Avenue, the Chrystie Connection, and nowhere where the 63rd Street tracks are close to the 6th Avenue line. I'm not sure if the 8th Avenue line can handle it. Services affected: A B C D E F M. 8th Avenue is delayed unless you steer some 6th Avenue service away from it.

Let's see:

: Delays.

: Via Broadway Express to Queensboro Plaza. Trains already on CPW/Bronx run via Cranberry Street/Culver Exp to Avenue X.

: Via 8th Avenue/CPW Express b/w 145th Street & Canal Street.

Let's bring this thread back.

 

The rails at Av U on the Brighton are broken, and trains cannot safely pass. In addition, the switches at Kings Hwy are stuck so that all trains keep going on their current track.

: Select trains run to Brighton Beach.

Due to track maintenance between Jackson Hts-Roosevelt Av and 36 St (QNS), the following service changes are in effect:

and are running with delays in both directions.

Some northbound trains terminate at Jay St-MetroTech or W 4 St-Washington Square.

Allow additional travel time.

 

How could an at either station at this hour of the day.Dosent sound too possible to me.

 

Maybe 57th st. Even that's not too great.

Still there. I could see the trains terminating at Jay Street, but WEST 4TH STREET? That would delay even MORE trains!

Well it's back in service now.

Next:

 

The Rutgers tunnel has broken rails and is closed.  At the same time, the switch folllowing Jay Street on the is stuck in the position where such trains must go express AND there is also a problem where because of ADDITIONAL broken rails north of the turnoff to the 53rd street crosstown on the local tracks in both directions, all trains on the 6th avenue not turning to/from the 53rd street line (in both directions) must use the express track after 34th Street until 47th-50th. 

:

-Via Cranberry Street Tunnel. Select trains run to East Broadway or York Street.

-SB trains run express to Smith/9th Streets.

-Runs on express tracks b/w 34th Street & 57th Street. Select trains run via 6th Av Lcl-53rd St.

Probably to fill in the service gap. They've done it before, such as rerouting some SB trains via 8 Av after some problem forcing everything to go via 63/6.

Customers are advised to use the  train to connect with the Bx12, Bx16, Bx28, Bx30 and Bx38 crosstown buses for alternate service.

Allow additional travel time.

Wait, what exactly are out-of-system transfers anyway? They're not really free like they say they are at Lexington Av-63rd Street, are they?

I think that an out-of-system transfer is like a transfer from a train to a bus. It's sort of confusing since if you transfer to the and then get off at a station to transfer to a bus, then you have to pay $2.50 more (that is it I am correct).

Signaling and switching at DeKalb Avenue has gone haywire. A train passed a green light when there was an train in front of it, then it nearly crashed. A study showed that there has been short-circuiting, and the entire section at DeKalb Avenue had to be closed down. No service available anywhere where there are switches at DeKalb Avenue. Services affected: . P.S. this is assuming that the Montague Tube is fixed, but DeKalb avenue is still impassible.

There is no switch from DeKalb Bypass to Brighton.
