Snowblock Posted June 10, 2013 Share #1201 Posted June 10, 2013 Really ? A Police Investigation at one of the terminals so you suspend an Entire Line? You could short-turn the at Bedford Nostrand, or at Smith 9th. Suspending the entire line just short-changes a whole lot of people for not a lot of reasons. Watch it. If they terminate a at Smith-9 tonight, they might realize what a good idea that is and start doing it permanently. Please don't give them any ideas. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CenSin Posted June 10, 2013 Share #1202 Posted June 10, 2013 Service Change Posted: 06/09/2013 11:21PM Due to a police investigation at Church Av: Northbound [F] train service running express from Church Av to Jay St- MetroTech. [G] train service running in both directions between Bergen St and Court Sq. No [G] train service between Church Av and Court Sq in both directions. Allow additional travel time. Uhh...what's really happening here? Someone isn't proofreading. It seems like nobody is getting a transfer to the from the then. Bergen street is not an express stop currently, and there is no way to cross over to the other platform without exiting fare control. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bergen street is not an express stop currently, and there is no way to cross over to the other platform without exiting fare control. I guess the official line would be something to the effect of use the between hoyt-schermerhorn and jay st to shuttle between the G and the F. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lance Posted June 10, 2013 Share #1204 Posted June 10, 2013 If I'm not mistaken, the reason why G trains cannot terminate at Bedford-Nostrand Avs during the late night hours is because the tower at Bedford is not staffed during those hours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an interesting point I hadn't considered. For these unplanned disruptions do they ever dispatch a dispatcher (sorry) to go staff a local tower on an emergency basis? Is the Bedford-Nostrand tower manned normally daytimes, or only when a GO has trains turning there? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A buddy was stuck in this during his AM commute from Astoria this morning: He got on a s/b at Broadway about 9:15, the train dwelled in each station for 10 minutes before dumping all it's passengers at Queensboro and going OOS at about 10. Crammed into a Packed 7 train and ended up bailing at Grand Central while the train held there for 15+ minutes. Sounds like it sucked. Anyone know what the investigation was? (Although judging by what I'm assuming is a power-off area, I'm almost afraid to ask) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
