TwoTimer Posted January 24, 2012 Share #101 Posted January 24, 2012 Well it makes sense. Well the IRT is for all intents and purposes normal. The and have no change. Instead of confuse all people all night by having a "red" train go down the east side the whole night, just swap terminals for the night and send the all the way down. In the past when the has run all night (back in the days of trains going around the SI ferry loop), it has been express all night, with the and local. In all likelihood it is like that again, to compensate for the increased time it takes to get to the east side to get a train to Flatbush. I just hope/wish that shuttle bus has some service to 149-GC, but I doubt it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how many people wait for the express downstairs at 59 St and 86 St during those GOs instead of the and local upstairs (or wait for the express instead of the local overnight at any station)? Though those that really need the should catch it first chance anyway. At least the and will be less crowded in Manhattan and the will be less crowded in the Bronx overnight due to the running. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets see how many fannies run out there on the overnight to ride a rare WPR-Flat that's express on the midnites.

mark1447 Posted January 26, 2012 Share #104 Posted January 26, 2012 I wonder if there will be trains ending at Bowling Green between 8 and 10pm, or all (5)s will continue to go to Flatbush After PM rush ends. That depends on whether the is running in Manhattan. If they turn the at 125 St, then the will run local in Manhattan. If not, it's running express. By the way, I see they're doing that (2)/ flip-flop again. Im sure the will run local with the and . No need to turn the at 125th Street. Seen it before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will also be some Bowling Green trains leaving Dyre sometime after 4am, and at least one E 180 St shuttle train at 4:59, connecting to the E 180 - Flatbush train at 5:10 (train leaves at 5:13). This also leaves a 23 minute gap in service below E 180 St. The is running express, unless there is trackwork causing the to run local, or the replaces the , the will run express all night.

Amtrak7 Posted February 2, 2012 Share #107 Posted February 2, 2012 We're getting some hints at what the 6 Av GO will look like...and it looks like a railfan's paradise! NYCT - Service Advisory - © run express in Manhattan - runs local via 8 Av in both directions -No service in Queens at 10PM (early suspension? diversion?) - to 21 St/Queensbridge -No in the 63rd St connector (via 53rd? turnback at QP? via the Crosstown?) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a school night too. hahaha. I could of sworn both 6th And 8th Avenue Lines were to be done at the same time, with one way in each direction for service. And the could run via 8th Avenue Local with the and from Queens to West 4th. (If there is no G/O along the 53rd Corridor) The might end up getting split to 2nd Avenue, because there is no way in hell it'll get back to the Manhattan Bridge Line after Broadway / Lafayette St. Southbound. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume they would cancel that G.O for the Fast Track program since 53 St is the only way into Queens from the 8 Av corridor...unless they work while trains are running 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoTimer Posted February 3, 2012 Share #111 Posted February 3, 2012 Well of course FASTRACK supercedes any other GO's on the line, and nothing else would run on the line that would cause service diversions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INDman Posted February 3, 2012 Share #112 Posted February 3, 2012 Well of course FASTRACK supercedes any other GO's on the line, and nothing else would run on the line that would cause service diversions. Not only that, but having other GOs running on the same line with fast track running would limit the number of available personnel to work fast track. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtrak7 Posted February 3, 2012 Share #113 Posted February 3, 2012 They don't cancel all GO's. For the 7 Av GO, these are in effect: - 2 sections at Bedford Park Bl -Jamaica-bound express Roosevelt-71 - 2 sections at Broadway Jct - single tracking Atlantic-Prospect Pk On the 6 Av week: -Uptown express 72-96 -No service -Uptown express Utica-Hoyt -Downtown skip 182-183 Sts -Jamaica-bound express Roosevelt-71 - single tracking Atlantic-Prospect Pk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amtrak7 Posted February 4, 2012 Share #119 Posted February 4, 2012 The Broadway Line is not part of the MTA's plans: they said at the board meeting that they want to each of these 4 closures 4 times per year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallyhorse Posted February 7, 2012 Share #121 Posted February 7, 2012 Here's how the 6th Avenue FastTrack is likely to work according to what has been posted elsewhere: Trains run express in both directions between 145 St and Canal St (also separately, Rockaway (A)s replace the to Rockaway Park while no (A)s to Far Rockaway). © Trains run express in both directions between 59 St and Canal St. Trains run local in both directions between Queens Plaza and 71 Av as service outside of the shuttle ends early. service is rerouted to the after 57 St-7 Av, making stops at Lexington Av/63 St, Roosevelt Island and 21 St-Queensbridge, the last stop. The will not be running to those stations at that time and although not yet noted on the site, the is expected to run via 53rd Street and 8th Avenue with the . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please note that there are other GO's running (both on affected and unaffected lines) during FASTRACK week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
