Service Change  Posted: 12/03/2014  4:17PM 
 
Due to problems with electronic platform gap fillers at 14 St-Union Square, some southbound (5) trains are running on the (2) line from 149 St-Grand Concourse to Nevins St.
 
Allow additional travel time.
 
I guess now is not a good time to use the Union Square station. 

 

 

OMG, (MTA)! Just shut the station down to redo the entire thing. Increase headways on the Broadway Line up to 57th St while that happens.

Even if the southbound switch from DeKalb to Atlantic Ave express track were to be restored, the train would go so SLOWLY over that switch that it's typically faster to just run the train local.  If you need a connection to the R southbound, hopefully the connection would be held at DeKalb instead in that circumstance.

 

It's because of the reason I stated, just to clear up.

Due to NYPD activity at 168 St, northbound a.png trains are running express from 125 St to 168 St.

Allow additional travel time.

 

Well, the shorten (A) should be running now, meaning the full one is running express in Manhattan & Brooklyn.

I got caught up in an incident at Brooklyn Bridge where a N/B (4) stalled with only the first car in the station and the S/B (4) I was on was turned back via the loop to provide service. The stalled train was taken out of service on the spot and they were already "evacuating" the stalled train through the first car when I got there and the first thing I thought was there was someone pinned under the train but thankfully that wasn't the case, it was simply a train that stalled out. They did move the train away from the area within 5 minutes after everyone got off the train.

With the way Lexington Ave is built, you'd have to split the line in half to rebuild the Union Square station. Trying to fit the bulk of Lex riders between Grand Central and the Brooklyn Bridge (because that's where the split would be) onto the Broadway and/or 6th Ave lines would be almost impossible.

I have no idea. Plus, to terminate at Canal Street, you have to stop at upper level then go to City Hall lower level for layup.

Sounds like ATS is down:

b/d 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7 trains are running with delays due to signal problems. Allow additional travel time.

I just got off a crush loaded Shuttle and it was while navigating through the tunnel, I didn't see a single signal lit. Would that be a symptom of ATS being down?
