Free shuttle buses run between 57th Street-7th Avenue and Whitehall Street making local stops. It is really hard since you close down a complex with the most transfers in the city, and this is probably very money-consuming due to all the shuttle buses 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion V 9441 Posted June 9, 2014 Share #4073 Posted June 9, 2014 a broken 3rd rail at the junction where the 6th Avenue Line and the 53rd Street Line meet stops all and trains from running through and it is impassable. and are not affected I will make two posts; one if this occurs on a weekday and another if it occurs on a weekend. This is mine for a weekday: : Train shortened to only operate from Jamaica Center to Lexington Avenue-53rd Street. All trains trapped on the 8th Avenue Line will be put on the Train to increase service. : Split into Two sections: From 179th Street to Whitehall Street (BMT Broadway Line) Via 63rd Street Connector and Broadway Express (If Whitehall Street backs up, some trains will terminate at Canal Street Station, relaying on the tracks leading to the never-opened lower platform at City Hall station. The other section will operate from Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue to 42nd Street-Bryant Park, terminating on the two local platforms. Staff will be present to help direct passengers to the correct platform. Some trains may also operate via the line to even out service on the two sections. : Trains extended to Forrest Hills-71st Avenue from Court Street. :Trains Terminate at 42nd Street-Bryant park on the two local platforms, passing through the crossovers between 34th Street-Herald Square and 42nd Street-Bryant Park. Staff will be present to help direct passengers to the correct platform. some trains may operate via the 63rd Street connector on the line if trains become too crowded. In my next post: I will show what I would do if this occurs on a weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All trains trapped on the 8th avenue line will be put into service on the train to increase service. Train operates in two sections: from 179th street to Canal Street via the 63rd Street Connector and Broadway express to Canal Street (local platforms), relaying on the tracks leading to the lower level of City Hall Station. The other section will operate from Coney Island Stillwell Avenue to 42nd Street-Bryant Park, and operating via the (not running) line to 145th street. : Trains extended from 57th Street-7th Avenue to 179th Street via the line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallyhorse Posted June 10, 2014 Share #4075 Posted June 10, 2014 the line is impassable too. Only the and are unaffected Actually, if you look at this track map (http://www.nycsubway.org/perl/caption.pl?/img/trackmap/detail-47-63.png) you can see the express track can be used to access the track to 57th Street-6th Avenue and the 63rd Street line. That connection has NO interaction with the junction you are talking about, so the and can switch to the express track AND go to the track without dealing with the junction in that situation (The when it terminated at 57th/6th could do this as well).. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
