MTA Bus Posted July 27, 2016 Share #1056 Posted July 27, 2016 The hipsters won't be happy. No trains between Broadway Junction and Lorimer St Free shuttle buses provide alternate service Late Nights, 10:30 PM to 5 AM, Mon to Fri, Aug 1 - 5 • Aug 8 - 12 • Aug 15 - 19 Service operates in two sections: 1. Between Rockaway Pkwy and Broadway Junction ( platform) 2. Between Lorimer St and 8 Av Buses make all stops between Broadway Junction and Lorimer St. • Transfer between trains and buses at Broadway Junction and/or Lorimer St. • For service between Brooklyn and Manhattan consider the or via transfer between trains and buses at Broadway Junction. They been doing work recently in that part on the overnight, so this is actually good. I'll just take the home then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric B Posted January 13, 2017 Share #1062 Posted January 13, 2017 So they're not even doing Queens anymore. They needed to expand it to north of Roosevelt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q43LTD Posted January 14, 2017 Share #1064 Posted January 14, 2017 Seems like no to 96 during the Broadway Fast Track 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j express Posted January 14, 2017 Share #1065 Posted January 14, 2017 Seems like no to 96 during the Broadway Fast Track I doubt it since there are switches from the 2 Av line to the 6 Av line west of Lexington Av-63 St 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallyhorse Posted January 14, 2017 Share #1066 Posted January 14, 2017 I doubt it since there are switches from the 2 Av line to the 6 Av line west of Lexington Av-63 St I agree: What they could do is during Fastrack have the or run its normal route to 47-50 and then go to 96th/2nd to replace the on the SAS as a special late-night run (If the have it completely replace the ). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude they'll just have the do the same thing it's done during every other Fastrack: run via 6th Avenue, with the additional run up to 96th Street. No need to reinvent the wheel here... 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dj Hammers Posted January 14, 2017 Share #1069 Posted January 14, 2017 The Q will run via 6 Ave for the Broadway Fasttrack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallyhorse Posted January 15, 2017 Share #1070 Posted January 15, 2017 The Q will run via 6 Ave for the Broadway Fasttrack That actually does make sense. I was thinking of the running in place of the as a special late-night train to 96th/2nd to avoid confusion to some in Brooklyn and parts of lower Manhattan where the does not normally run. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you run the between 96 St/2 Av and Coney Island when its a part time route? It would create a lot of confusion on 2 Av and plus the is still operating between 96 St/2 Av and Coney Island but via 6 Av. It makes more sense to reroute the between Lexington Av-63 St and Dekalb Av than run the 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RestrictOnTheHanger Posted January 15, 2017 Share #1073 Posted January 15, 2017 Just an idea, maybe have the run via 6 Ave local instead of express. I know that would be an additional switching move at W4, but now that it goes to 96th st instead of turning around at 57/6 more people would benefit from not having to wait up to 20 minutes for the at the local stops only to have to transfer to the and wait possibly another 20 minutes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
