CenSin Posted January 1, 2015 Share #2577 Posted January 1, 2015 Well... Somebody's fantasy came true. I'm on a running down West End and it went express from DeKalb Avenue due to switch problems on the Brighton Line. There is no service between DeKalb Avenue and Kings Highway. The terminated at Bay Parkway. Stupid dispatchers couldn't hold the across the platform for one more minute and now we're left out in the cold. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CenSin Posted January 1, 2015 Share #2578 Posted January 1, 2015 That supposedly just left for the yard, probably via the yard leads at Bay 50 Street. Another one showed up. It's also terminating at Bay Parkway. No sign of a yet and we're all freezing. The shows up 15 minutes after the previous one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have probably gotten there faster on a B82 if you could have caught one at Bay Pkwy without waiting. At least it's not a major subway change and you'll be home in time for the New Year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the mezzanine was acceptably warm. It was a better choice than waiting on the street. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alekr Posted January 5, 2015 Share #2581 Posted January 5, 2015 This morning there was signal problems @ Flushing- Main St. No service in the morning so I had to take the local. It was a slow crawl with the congestion going on. I don't get why they had to cut off the since the signal problems were occurring near the Main Street station terminal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CenSin Posted January 6, 2015 Share #2586 Posted January 6, 2015 I'm on a Coney Island–bound via the West End. Does that have anything to do with a delay in service? A little girl boarded the train with her dad at 36 Street, seemingly relieved that something was finally going via the line. The train seems to be making all local stops. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During weekdays, there are many sudden reroutes, right? So far, I've seen via 63rd, at Grand St, and you found via bridge and via West End. *Sigh* 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrivera Posted January 7, 2015 Share #2588 Posted January 7, 2015 The more trains, the more pressure to keep things moving. Once something goes wrong with a subway line, any possible reroute is fair game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I legit can't remember if it went express on the West End line though. Also ridden an via 6th Ave from BK during a weekday once. Once seen a at Flatbush on a weekday, and an via Brighton duirng the AM Rush, which was cool as the was still using 68/As at the time and the train was a 160 of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The is just terrible at reliablity, especially during rush hours. After being at 3 Avenue on the and choosing an R62A over an R142 (not A) around the time the R62As were reintroduced to Pelham, I'd say that anything could happen and any route could be on any line at any time to keep being as reliable as possible.

Allow additional travel time. Kept forgetting to address this, but I wonder if there would be good use for a sort of retroactive version of the "what "if" thread, where we would use actual diversion that occurred to offer our ideas of what we would have done (instead of scenarios like big chickens running across all tracks, or meteors hitting a station, etc). I was caught in this (going the other way initially, though, but it affected the schedule), and figured, they should have just moved the to 8th Ave. in that direction, and to reduce merging, keep the on the express (so the would only have to merge with the , which it does further up at 5th Ave. anyway). People going from 50th St. uptown would then have to change at 7th Ave., but the way they did it, people on 6th would have had to do the same to get to 53rd and Queens Plaza, and there are probably more people going that way). They are just too quick to cut the whenever this stuff occurs, but int he IND there are often other workarounds like that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrainFanInfinity Posted January 8, 2015 Share #2597 Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) The went via 8th Avenue Local today. I was on one, going southbound this morning. I think it was because of a rail condition at 34th St on the express track, because at 42/8, I heard that "after an earlier incident, there is southbound and train service." Not the best day for and trains, huh. Edited January 8, 2015 by TrainFanInfinity 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
