IRT Bronx Express Posted August 29, 2011 Share #151 Posted August 29, 2011 The local during rush hour will be a nightmare. The others have happened and can be dealt with. That's happened many times before. Slightly annoying, but not a nightmare.Didn't the run local at one point during weekdays when the JFK express was in service?

Shortline Bus Posted August 29, 2011 Share #152 Posted August 29, 2011 Didn't the run local at one point during weekdays when the JFK express was in service? In Brooklyn along the Fulton Line. In Manhattan the ran express and the old aka "AA" made all stops between 168th and WTC. The then the ran also during rush hours only between Bedford Park and Euclid and also on certain trips to/from Rockaway Park. Prior to 1976, the was extended to Euclid rush hours.

Abba Posted August 29, 2011 Share #156 Posted August 29, 2011 This is probably the longest amount of time the whole subway fleet has actually received a break from passenger service. Wasn't the transit strike longer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortline Bus Posted August 29, 2011 Share #157 Posted August 29, 2011 Wasn't the transit strike longer? Yup. The 1980 strike in April of that year, the NYC subway/buses was shut down for about 10 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abba Posted August 29, 2011 Share #158 Posted August 29, 2011 Just out of curiosity since it takes 8 hours to start the system up,have any trains started passenger service yet? EDIT: The radio is saying that if passengers are waiting at platforms they can be picked up. From there they would make the regular station stops.

Wallyhorse Posted August 29, 2011 Share #159 Posted August 29, 2011 Meanwhile, there are those who continue to whine and feel the city and state overreacted and no shutdown should have happened, especially those who remember that there was no shutdown when Gloria hit in 1985. What they forget is in many cases the ground was already saturated from record rainfall two weeks ago, and if Irene (which, BTW, did directly hit New York) came into NYC as a Cat. 2 storm as originally forecast as opposed to a Tropical Storm, it would have been far worse and many tunnels would have been flooded. Much of the general public doesn't realize how bad the flooding was in some yards. They also forget the lawsuit-happy society we now have as opposed to 1985 when Gloria hit, as in some comment pages people remembered that neither Koch or Giuliani ever ordered a shutdown, which either likely would have in 2011 as opposed to when Gloria hit. Abba: Service is scheduled to start at 6:00 AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lance25 Posted August 29, 2011 Share #165 Posted August 29, 2011 The (MTA)'s service status page is reporting that all lines are running their normal routes. However, there is still limited service system-wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladyjay114 Posted August 29, 2011 Share #167 Posted August 29, 2011 Well there is service down here in "Zone A". I just saw a Q train and an F train both pulling into West 8th St. Does anyone know how frequent service will be today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just saw a Q train and an F train both pulling into West 8th St. Does anyone know how frequent service will be today? Less frequent than normal at present, but rapidly working its way back to full service levels. Service may be bunched up at times. The MTA delivered more than they promised! I never thought that could happen. "Under-promise, over-deliver" is always good business...as opposed to the alternative. Was any yard particularly less flood-prone than the others? 240th.

Shortline Bus Posted August 29, 2011 Share #169 Posted August 29, 2011 The MTA delivered more than they promised! I never thought that could happen. I know someone like Garbaldi would never do it but credit is due to the .:tup: Personally i thought 'some' subway would not return until this afternoon (8/29) at the earliest and service to the Rockaways as much as couple of days later. PS Did service on the and Far Rockaway branch return yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East New York Posted August 29, 2011 Share #170 Posted August 29, 2011 Due to a train with mechanical problems at the 36th Street Station (Brooklyn), uptown trains are running local from the 36th Street Station to the Atlantic Avenue-Pacific Street Station. Uptown trains are running local from the 59th Street Station to the Atlantic Avenue-Pacific Street Station. Also, due to ongoing signal problems at the 59th Street-Lexington Avenue Station, uptown trains are running on the line between the 57th Street-7th Avenue Station and the 36th Street Station in Queens. Uptown and trains are running with delays. All other trains operating at normal, or near normal service levels. Rapid Transit Operations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
