Looks like they want to get rid of the queens Boullevard already.

I think most people are used to it not being there anyway.

I couldn't have said that any better. That's a damn shame.

[LRG]

That's it for the via Queens Boulevard. It really sucks.

The has been gone from QNS BLVD for several years, it only comes back once in a great while and even then it's like it's even there.

Except this time, it's gone for good.

It will be back, sooner or later.

It actually runs there weekday nights, but since nobody really uses it but instead use the more popular , nobody really notices it. Getting rid of it up there is actually a smart idea in my book.

They are even lying about the time it starts - - do you really think they will send 3 additional trains out for just 2 hours of work (from 8:30 PM to 11 PM, when the G.O. starts) - - they will simply not allow the G to start the extension at 8:30 PM and will run to/from Cort Square instead.

 

 

Very slick move on NYCT's part - - if not illegal based on the information from the public hearing.

[LRG]

It will be back, sooner or later.

 

I can only hope so. The is hell by itself on weekends.

also, notice that they say the GO will end at 11:59 that Saturday night, when it will permanently be discontinued 1 minute later. I guess that one train will make the whole run in 60 seconds:p

The head ways make it as though it does not run when it's extended to 71st.

[mark1447]

The has been running during thr evening rush if everyone thing has not been running at all.

[R110B]

ah we all knew this was going to happen but what happens after the g.o ends do it Returns back to 71ave.

After the G.O. ends, service cuts take effect, ending the on QBL forever.

[nel070]

It's a sad day for QB riders the was a staple on Queens Boulevard and a tradition.

There are banker lights set up on E1 track (southbound) between Nassau & Metropn Ave.'s. My guess is that the concrete roadbed will be chopped up and replaced, along with the tracks.

 

The CSQ to B/N service, as noted, will be on a 30 minute single track headway on E2 (northbound) track from Nassau to B/N, with a 15 minute headway from B/N middle to Church.

 

Expect a weekend bustitution for the concrete pour in the middle of May because I doubt if they will run a 30 minute weekend daytime headway, although if they want to save $$$$ it would be workable with a 600' train with pissed off passengers riding.

I don't think anybody can say "never".

 

I'm sure at some point after the end of June, once the G is officially away from CTL, a GO of some sort will be in effect that has the E going thru 63rd St. (either direction) on the midnights. When this happens, I can see the G going to CTL so as to not "strand" passengers between CSQ and 36th St.

In Staples, there is a map of all the stores and it shows the subway routes. It does not even show the past Court Square (it never did since I started working there in 2004).

 

OT: That same map still shows the !

[Grand Concourse]

Lol, at least your map is probably more up to date than NY1's subway map.

 

As for the , I still think they should keep it for late nights and weekend service. The is terrible as it is. A helper line with just 4-car trains is a big help. Hell, send alternate (G)s at the very least.

[GojiMet86]

There was a running into Queens Blvd? I didn't know it existed.

 

 

 

(I'm kidding.)
