Amtrak7 Posted June 16, 2011 Share #1 Posted June 16, 2011 No trains between Brooklyn Bridge and Utica Av/New Lots AvThe and trains provide alternate service Weekend, 12:01 AM Sat to 5 AM Mon, Jul 2 - 4 service operates between Woodlawn and Brooklyn Bridge. • For service to/from Fulton St, Wall St, Bowling Green, Borough Hall, and Nevins St, take the or to nearby stations (see chart below). • For service to/from Atlantic Av, Bergen St, Grand Army Plaza, Eastern Pkwy, Franklin, Nostrand, Kingston, Utica, Sutter, Saratoga, Rockaway Avs, Junius St, Pennsylvania, Van Siclen and New Lots Avs take the instead. I wonder why there's no shuttle... as of this point there are no conflicting GO's posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted June 16, 2011 Share #2 Posted June 16, 2011 Reminds me of the service disrupted with service expanded one weekend and no additional service on another. Seems very inconsistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abba Posted June 16, 2011 Share #3 Posted June 16, 2011 I wonder why there's no shuttle... as of this point there are no conflicting GO's posted. It also mentions stations.So maybe with the combined they dont really need a shuttle..Just my thinking.This would mean from Brooklyn bridge you would have to get off at Canal Street for the .If thats the case why run the shuttle.All the stations are pretty close by.

Wallyhorse Posted June 16, 2011 Share #4 Posted June 16, 2011 Maybe they are trying to save money or there is work going on with the at Prospect Park that prevents them from using there as a terminal for the special trains. Also, those now looking for the can get the or at Canal and take that to Jay-Metrotech (nee Lawrence) and switch there, so the shuttle isn't as necessary as it once was.

alejr88 Posted June 16, 2011 Share #5 Posted June 16, 2011 I wonder why there's no shuttle... as of this point there are no conflicting GO's posted. If the do not want to run the shuttle to Prospect Park, at least run one to Fulton Street for Brooklyn Bound Passengers on the to access the and to go to Brooklyn. I only will say that for passengers heading to Fulton and Wall Streets. For Bowling Green, passengers have to use their metrocards and walk to the City Hall station and take the or to Whitehall Street/South Ferry or take the (if local) or to Canal Street to transfer to the or . Some G.O.'s are such a mess. It also mentions stations.So maybe with the combined they dont really need a shuttle..Just my thinking.This would mean from Brooklyn bridge you would have to get off at Canal Street for the .If thats the case why run the shuttle.All the stations are pretty close by. Except the nor going to Brooklyn does not stop at Courtlandt Street for Passengers trying to access Fulton Street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeGerald Posted June 16, 2011 Share #7 Posted June 16, 2011 I'm thinking that the MTA will be telling riders of the #4, #5 and #6 to change at the 14th Street-Union Square stations for the N, Q and R trains to travel to lower Manhattan and Brooklyn, for an eventual transfer at Atlantic/Pacific for the #2 and #3 lines. This pathway solves the problems of getting to/from the South Ferry area, getting to/from Brooklyn, and transfers to/from the A, C and F trains. Just a guess.

Guest lance25 Posted June 16, 2011 Share #8 Posted June 16, 2011 According to the website, trains are not running past East 180 St and trains are apparently running local in Manhattan since it's telling riders to transfer to the at Canal St. Of course, unless the is running via Whitehall all weekend, riders should take the train unless they want direct access to Atlantic-Pacific.

And no one of course mentions the at Canal and (from the downtown Lex OR with an unlimited MetroCard) the at Broadway-Lafayette (both of which also stop with transfers to the (2)/(3) at Atlantic Avenue) as alternatives.

TwoTimer Posted June 16, 2011 Share #10 Posted June 16, 2011 The always runs local in Manhattan during this GO. I remember when the is going into Brooklyn local all the way that the to Grand Central does run, I can't remember exactly if it runs when its Brooklyn Bridge. When I used to work the there wasn't that many people getting off at Brooklyn Bridge going down to that shuttle as they just went to Canal/Bleecker or Union Sq and got faster service going over the bridge. I made the announcement to take the at Bleecker to Jay St for service before the connection was finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtrak7 Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share #11 Posted June 17, 2011 Another GO IN ADDITION to the one above: No trains between 149 St-Grand Concourse and East 180 St No trains between Bowling Green and East 180 St trains and free shuttle buses provide alternate service Weekend & Holiday, 3:30 AM Sat to 6 PM Mon, Jul 2 - 4 Thankfully there aren't that many other G/O's for that weekend.

4P3607 Posted June 18, 2011 Share #12 Posted June 18, 2011 Yes... That doesn't make any sense because how are you supposed to get to Fulton Street? They should at least have one shuttle train single tracking from Chambers St to Fulton St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendell Posted June 18, 2011 Share #13 Posted June 18, 2011 I kinda made up This service change...... There Is no (N)/(Q) Service In/Out Of Uptown Manhatten And Queens. Free Shuttle Bues Provide service. Trains Run In 2 Sections Between Coney Is-Prospect Pk Via The ( Line Between 14 St Union Sq And 34 St Herald Sq Via The Line Trains Run In 1 Section Coney Is-14 St Union Sq Via The Line. Shuttle Bues Run From Astira-Ditmars To 14 St Union Sq Making All Stops Then Continue To Prospect Pk Making All (Q)/(N) stops Where (Q)/(N)/(:)/(S) Service Is Availble. Note: There Is No Service Service Between Brighton Beach And Prospect Pk The Old Comes Back Making Exp Stops Between 14 St-Union Sq And Atlantic Ave. What Do you think?

They should at least have one shuttle train single tracking from Chambers St to Fulton St. Is it possible they are also planning work on the tracks between Chambers and Broad, and that's why there is no shuttle? There is the option of walking from the South end of Brooklyn Bridge to Fulton Street, which is only a couple of blocks I believe (and especially walking on Park Row to where it meets Broadway) for those specifically looking for Fulton Street, otherwise, for Brooklyn, they are likely looking to have people transfer at Canal or 14th for the (N)/(Q)/® or (from the downtown (4)/(6)) Bleecker-Broadway Lafayette for the (D)/(F), especially since there is now a transfer to the (A)/© from the (F)/(N)/® at Jay St.-Metrotech.
