trainfan22 Posted February 22, 2013 Share #851 Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) Emergency? seems unusual for them to do scheduled maintenance in rush hour A couple of days ago they had the Garbage train doing pickups on the line during rush hour!

RestrictOnTheHanger Posted February 22, 2013 Share #852 Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) Due to a moving platform problem at 42 St, expect delays in service on the 42 St Shuttle train in both directions at this time. this is a first! It's the first time that they've said specifically that it was the gap filler. Usually it's just a generic 'mechanical problem'. Kinda like when there's a gap filler problem at Union Square, it always says that & or train service is bypassing the station due to mechanical problems, though we can imply its the gap fillers.

Mysterious2train Posted February 22, 2013 Share #854 Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) The MTA's site mentions Manhattan-bound trains as running on the local track from Utica Av to Hoyt St because of signal problems at Lafayette Av.

4P3607 Posted February 28, 2013 Share #863 Posted February 28, 2013 Jay Street? Trains can't terminate there... Im pretty sure they went to Euclid. And couldn't the have terminated at Carroll St and switch over around 4th Ave like they used to do? Unless they still don't have the punch board... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CenSin Posted February 28, 2013 Share #864 Posted February 28, 2013 Jay Street? Trains can't terminate there... Im pretty sure they went to Euclid. Yes they can. There are switches east of York Street. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewJC Posted February 28, 2013 Share #865 Posted February 28, 2013 Yes they can. There are switches east of York Street. Which are designed primarily to allow single-tracking through the river tube. Typically, when trains terminate at Jay, they relay south of Bergen on the lower level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superdrive1 Posted February 28, 2013 Share #866 Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Due to a train with mechanical problems at Ditmas Av, northbound trains are running express from Avenue X to Jay St-MetroTech. Allow additional travel time. Assuming that's the case then they're running through the lower level at Bergen St correct?

superdrive1 Posted February 28, 2013 Share #868 Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Yes. They did the same thing for those weekend GOs. Ah makes sense, knowledge of the subway a bit rusty! Speaking of unplanned service changes... Due to signal problems at Prince St, northbound trains are running on the line from Canal St to Atlantic Av. Allow additional travel time. Guessing if it's northbound disruption then Canal St and Atlantic Av should be the other way around!

Abba Posted March 1, 2013 Share #869 Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) Due to track maintenance at Lafayette Av, southbound trains express Hoyt-Schermerhorn to Euclid Av at this time. Why does the whole Fulton have to be express for that.Cant they switch back at Utica or Broadway Junction? By the way the MTA really has to get better at their advisories.Im assuming it was southbound that 's were running on the .Its not hard to make the advisories make sense.I think,they just copy what's heard at RCC.

TeeCoZee Posted March 1, 2013 Share #871 Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) The MTA really do have to get better with advisories. Last night, there was a "Planned Service Change" of Brooklyn-Bound trains running on the from W4 to Jay St. I got down at Spring St, and there is one single sign, placed inconspicuously to the side of the turnstile. I looked up and down the platform and that was the only sign that was posted. The T/O of the downtown that came by did nothing to alert us of the situation. Not to mention, this "Planned" service change is nowhere to be found on the weekly board. In short, I got smart and grabbed an up to W4, while 10+ people didn't listen to me and were stuck waiting for an that wasn't going to come.

Mysterious2train Posted March 2, 2013 Share #874 Posted March 2, 2013 I guess this can fit here, something interesting happened on the way home from school. 4 PM. A train coming into 96 St downtown switched to the local track. It was the only train to do so, the next two express trains behind it both ran express like normal. I asked the T/O of the train right behind the train that went local, he said it was probably to fill in a gap in local service [supported by the fact that the Countdown Clock showed steep waiting times for the next , 8 minutes or something.] Oddly enough, that train that went local switched back to the express track after 72 St, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was around 9:30 and I stood like 20 minutes for a train that didn't show up. Instead a came and went local (to fill in service like you said). That 3 train was the only one to go local, a showed up but ran express. Edited March 2, 2013 by alejr88 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
