alekr Posted January 1, 2015 Share #951 Posted January 1, 2015 They still have to relay somewhere on the Jerome line (likely 138 St-Grand Concourse middle). I don't know why the 5 is getting the shaft again. It's starting to act like the Forest Hills G with these continual cutbacks. Yeah, that's about right. Unlike the Montague closure, they can't really close the Cranberry tubes continuously for a long period like that. Not without severely reducing service on both the 6th and 8th Ave lines. The 5 reduction maybe it leads to headways bunching. Also the laying up at 125th street possibility that why due to congestion. For the A/C shutdown the MTA said that it is less severe than the tunnel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTA Dude Posted January 1, 2015 Share #952 Posted January 1, 2015 For the A/C shutdown the MTA said that it is less severe than the tunnel. It will be several weekends straight of service being rerouted onto the in both directions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CenSin Posted January 5, 2015 Share #954 Posted January 5, 2015 The 2015 schedule is out now up to April. There isn't anything we haven't seen before. Most of the work is on the Lexington Avenue line and it's branches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the work is on the Lexington Avenue line and it's branches. Yikes - two consecutive weeks of fasttrack on the QBL? That's remarkably inconvenient. I bet the service changes for the intervening weekend are equally catastrophic. The shuttle bus service they've provided in queens during these in the past has been laughably bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrivera Posted January 6, 2015 Share #956 Posted January 6, 2015 Annnd the southern section of the is terminating at 125th if SubwayTime is to be believed. They must have decided to keep it simple at 125th yet overburden 149th with / transferees. And just overburden the in general. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulrivera Posted January 7, 2015 Share #960 Posted January 7, 2015 Yep they called plan 2, I got a very detailed text alert about it. Here's a relevant quote from it: "..Its suspension means that subway customers will not have to transfer for shuttle buses and it will provide storage space overnight for idle No. 6 trains." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, time out. It's suspension... means that subway customers will not have to transfer to shuttle bus...

Fresh Pond Posted January 7, 2015 Share #962 Posted January 7, 2015 Wait, time out. It's suspension... means that subway customers will not have to transfer to shuttle bus... What exactly is this Plan 2? Winter weather plans. Goes from plan 1 to plan 5 with 5 being a total shutdown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallyhorse Posted January 8, 2015 Share #963 Posted January 8, 2015 Winter weather plans. Goes from plan 1 to plan 5 with 5 being a total shutdown. I guess they added plan 5 after the 2010 Blizzard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjbr40 Posted January 13, 2015 Share #968 Posted January 13, 2015 to amend my statement. When the first fasttrak they only did one week. i guess at that time it was little shabby they can do much on one week. Now with some fastrack today, it either long stretch between the two temporary terminals or when they was surveyed the area, it look bad on the their eye but it can be fix in less time then they thought. it better to try to do two weeks rather then one. Maybe their target is maintain all in once in two weeks, then thereafter the fastrack can be reduced to one week. This is IMO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
