EE Broadway Local Posted December 3, 2009 #1 Posted December 3, 2009 Is it true that the no longer runs middays, leaving the Flushing Line with only service, and if it is true, how does the new service operate?
R62A 1991 Posted December 3, 2009 #2 Posted December 3, 2009 Due to constant midday G.O.s, usually there is a in one direction and a in the other direction, with no in the direction that the is running. So, in a sense, the normal is canceled middays to accommodate the G.O. .
R32 3348 Posted December 3, 2009 #3 Posted December 3, 2009 I heard that trains run all local during the midday hours because of a complaint that riders were getting 10 minute service during the early afternoon well into the shoulder hour (3-4 PM), when they should be getting <5 minute service.
EE Broadway Local Posted December 3, 2009 Author #4 Posted December 3, 2009 Indeed! So the and are the only midday expresses operating?

So, in a sense, the normal is canceled middays to accommodate the G.O. . Although nowadays, the no longer posts both GO's. For example, if the midday is Manhattan-bound, they will say that Manhattan-bound trains skip 111, 103, and so on. However, they no longer say that Flushing-bound trains run local. Unless noted, all other trains that have a regular midday express run still do the express run.
