Homeless people try to have a bath on the uptown platform at Bleecker Street, and they electrocute the uptown 3rd rail which causes that track to be unusable for a short time.

 

Some of the water spills over onto downtown local track of 6Av Line, unluckily making that track unusable as well.

 

At the same time, a crazy lady attacks people at the uptown local track of 14th street Union Square on Lex, and that track should not be used for now.

 

The final event is the "Save the 6th avenue line" group is holding protests outside of 47/50 Streets. Train service is unaffected, but it is advisable to not suspend or shorten the [ they don't care about the ] lines in order to not have violence erupt.

Why does the have to return? You could split routes you know.

[Andres]

Why does the have to return? You could split routes you know.

 

But that would cause confusion to some passengers, i'd rather still have separate services.

 

Thats the same question people asked when the was temporarily brought back for rockaway after sandy, the would just be a substitute and i'm sure the R160s still have the announcements and GO announcements.

 

The other thing i can think of is send the through Coney Island Via Brighton and terminate at Prospect Park.
