YankeesPwnMets Posted June 17, 2010 Share #6 Posted June 17, 2010 Did the Grand St use 1 train per track, because trains cant get to the opposite track at grand st Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTR Admiralty Posted June 18, 2010 Share #7 Posted June 18, 2010 Did the Grand St use 1 train per track, because trains cant get to the opposite track at grand st I believe they did. I know for sure the Brooklyn bound platform was in use during this time. I believe they did some trackwork on the uptown side. Speaking of that, it would make much sense to add the tactile strip on the platform edges since only one track was in use during that time.

Grand Concourse Posted June 18, 2010 Share #8 Posted June 18, 2010 I do remember the Grand Street S turned back at W4th, I dunno why when it would've been easier to just run one train on each track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R110B Posted June 18, 2010 Share #9 Posted June 18, 2010 That sign is old like everyone mentioned it ran only for the construction & even after the shuttle was eliminated they has a Bus saying Grand St Shuttle from canal st covered up on the (N)/(Q) platform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also had a shuttle bus to Dekalb once, IIRC. Nobody really rode those buses, to my memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTR Admiralty Posted June 18, 2010 Share #12 Posted June 18, 2010 Actually some --- just busfans, elderly people and some curious riders. Well yes, very little. Businesses were suffering near the Grand Street area (the area immediately around the subway station) because its customers were redirected over there.

Kingsbridge Bus Posted June 19, 2010 Share #13 Posted June 19, 2010 Wasn't there a shuttle that ran to 21st Queensbridge & Grand st or was this a different year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilbluefoxie Posted June 19, 2010 Share #14 Posted June 19, 2010 That was during the 80s during the first manhattan bridge phase with the yellow B and D, then in the late 90s it was used late nights when the wasnt going to 21 St, then during 2001-02, right before the came out it was used too.

w8Hou Posted June 19, 2010 Share #15 Posted June 19, 2010 Wasn't there a shuttle that ran to 21st Queensbridge & Grand st or was this a different year? There were three types of shuttles: 1997 to 2000: 21 St-Queensbridge or 57 Street-6 Avenue to 2nd Avenue, Manhattan running Late night hours A short period from 1998-1999: 21 St-Queensbridge to 57 Street/7 Avenue or 34 Street via Broadway line Then third really short lived shuttle: July 22, 2001 til December 16, 2001 when the 63 St connector open; F and V replaces the shuttle, it ran 21 St-Queensbridge to Broadway-Lafayette St 24/7.

w8Hou Posted June 19, 2010 Share #17 Posted June 19, 2010 I thought the BMT BWAY ran sometimes to 42nd Street. I remember taht of course The first run, it was terminated at 57 Street-7 Avenue, over next couple weeks with complaints, the 63 Street-Broadway yellow S extended to 34 Street connected to the B, D, Q, F on Weekdays. Weekends, yellow S terminates at 57 Street. I dont have the actual map, it would be nice someone uploaded the actual map at that time. But this hand drawn map from nycsubway.org will show you that the yellow S do indeed terminate at 34 St Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTR Admiralty Posted June 20, 2010 Share #18 Posted June 20, 2010 I did recall that the yellow S turned at Herald Square that time, my dad worked in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
