pr1nyc1 Posted May 6, 2013 Share #1026 Posted May 6, 2013 Anyone know what the police investigation was about at Grand Central? And why the 6 train was so effected? Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RtrainBlues Posted May 6, 2013 Share #1027 Posted May 6, 2013 The way to bypass the massive uptown N/Q/R weekend delays was to transfer to the D (or F) train to Manhattan, then transfer back to the N/Q/R at 34th St. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4P3607 Posted May 6, 2013 Share #1028 Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) Service Change Posted: 05/05/2013 12:26PM Due to signal problem at Court St, some northbound trains are terminating at Prospect Park. Some northbound trains are running on the from Atlantic Av to W 4 St then operating on the line from W 4 St to Queens Plaza. Allow additional travel time. What about the service? All the s went via 63 Street, It was impossible to go via 53 st since there was trackwork between 42 St-Bryant Park & 47-50 Sts on the NB local track, all s switched over to the express track after 34/HSQ and stopped at 42 & 47/50 on the express track. The only way to get to the 53 st tunnel via 6 Ave was going via the Local track, which was closed due to trackwork. Im pretty sure it wasn't signal problems, it was the tube screwing up again. That tube has not been 100% fixed from Sandy's damage, it appears they keep making "temporary" fixes to the tube to get trains running thru it again, though these "temporary" fixes then become permanent fixes and eventually something goes wrong again. These alledged "signal problems" happen at least once every month now in those tubes, it's not the signals, it's the tube itself.

paulrivera Posted May 6, 2013 Share #1030 Posted May 6, 2013 It's not a 12-9 this time. It's actually a manhunt for a perp who escaped custody. How the hell does that happen? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently while being escorted out of his house he pushed an officer and ran into the subway. I don't see why he wasn't in handcuffs and if he is in handcuffs well I feel sorry for him if he's in the tunnels. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh Pond Posted May 7, 2013 Share #1037 Posted May 7, 2013 A few s and s got sent via Queens Blvd from what I heard. the effect of the whole thing was felt as far down all the way to the junction. All trains were running local in Brooklyn and I saw only 1 train. Also at the same time that happened, a northbound went BIE outside of Euclid, which made everything worse. ...I was caught in the middle of it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These alledged "signal problems" happen at least once every month now in those tubes, it's not the signals, it's the tube itself. How does the tube "Screw up"? Yes, there are still post-hurricane problems there, but its with the signals. In fact, most of the hurricane damage was to signals. Tracks can get wet and still be okay. Some signal parts can't. There was a times article a while ago that signal maintainers were stationed at the Montague tube 24/7 post sandy. If the tube were structurally unsound, they wouldn't send trains through it at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also at the same time that happened, a northbound went BIE outside of Euclid, which made everything worse. ...I was caught in the middle of it There must've been a third thing going on. After waiting 40 minutes for an local, it was claimed that due to a stalled train, no trains could go into Manhattan. So the thing turned around at Jay St. Considering that the evening before, a police investigation at Rockaway Ave caused me to walk home from Manhattan, this has been some of the worst [non-hurricane/non-planned service change] commuting I've ever had. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why didn't you just take the train home? you would have had to do a lot less walking, assuming you live in Brooklyn somewhere. Even if you lived Queens, you could have took an alternate route home, , to the Woodhaven Blvd buses, to the Q10 or Q113, LIRR, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Gordon meant there were structural problems with the Montague tubes. What he's probably saying, and what should be obvious, is that following Sandy, it seems like a week can't go by without something affecting either the signals, the tracks or the trains at Whitehall St or Court St. It can't be a coincidence. That's why there will be partial closures of the tubes in the coming weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lance Posted May 8, 2013 Share #1043 Posted May 8, 2013 Precisely. This weekend for example, downtown trains will be running via the bridge. It happens again in the near future. I don't have the exact dates in front of me at the moment so excuse the vagueness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
