Unplanned Subway Service Changes

[BM5 via Woodhaven]

Why would they not be able to turn like the trains do?

The alone isn't a problem, since it has around 8 minute headway, so that's about 7 trains per hour that are being turned. Now, several trains were turning at Church Avenue as well, so those extra have to turn. For now it should still be decent.

 

My guess is that the place too much burden, if several trains, along with 's, are turning around at Church Avenue.

 

Additionally, it would have likely delay service even more. The 's to Church ran express, to not hold up local-through trains. If the ran to Church, it would have to run local, and then there would be greater delays on service.

How about turning at 4th ave-9th street?

How about turning at 4th ave-9th street?

They would have to end at Smith-9th Street and relay on the express tracks north of 4th Avenue-9th Street.

[Abba]

I meant that .

Or they can turn at Euclid maybe?

No. There was already congestion on 8th Avenue. Plus the was ending early when the incident started so it really didn't get affected by it except by 1-3 trains if any.

If you wanted to run trains as a Culver local service, then it would have to terminate at Church Av to Allow trains to run express on Culver

Saw an  deadheading back on the Astoria express track just a couple of minutes ago. Of course, the camera had to go out of focus.

Since the (F)s are running Bway-West End this weekend, then the ones running to 96th are like a combination of the original 🅣  and the future phase 3 and 4 . (I always wished they kept is as West End).

That was an understatement...

 

I had the pleasure of getting stuck in this mess and being late to class, the delays reached as far as the Bronx...

My ran local in the Bronx instead of express (which was fine since that happens occasionally) but we were held at 161st Street for 10 minutes, and again at 145th for 20 minutes when the conductor said we would be going on the  line. We made local stops along CPW, got stalled at 81st Street for 20 minutes, again at 59th for 5 minutes when the conductor said we would be going on the 6th Avenue line again, went one stop to 7th Avenue, and got stuck for another 30 minutes. I finally gave up and walked to 49th Street to catch the (R). On my way to Union Square, I saw a  on the express track probably heading to 96th Street. A 50 minute commute ended up taking two hours, and I think my conductor also mentioned a power outage at Rockefeller Center.

Wow, you have a lot of patience, I would have bailed at 161st for the  (after checking service status of course)  or maybe 145th and walked to Broadway or Lenox

I probably would have also bailed and taken the (4), but at that time the  is awful between 149th and 125th, and a complete nightmare between 42nd and 14th. I think one time in May I decided to take the  from Grand Central and ended up passing 4 or so express trains between 42nd and 14th. I just take the  to the  instead whenever I leave around 8 just to avoid the  ... (granted, it probably wouldn't have been as bad as yesterday.

I also probably could've walked over to the  or , but since I was heading to Union Square that wouldn't have worked out for me.

You could have still transferred at Times Square for the  , or even another walk  from the to 2nd Ave at 96th or 86th for the  .

Maybe because I have an unlimited metrocard, I don't hesitate to make out of system transfers if necessary.  A few times delays have been so bad on Queens Blvd that I've bailed and taken the Q60 to Jamaica (thanks Transit App!)

Or even in system transfers, the QBL had a "broken rail condition" Northbound between Roosevelt Ave and Queens Plaza, (all trains were on one track ) I transferred from the at 42nd st for the  to bypass the congestion and catch the next  or  at Roosevelt Ave.

This couples the mess I dealt with on Friday. The BxM2 has been a mess here of late at night, so I opted for the  to get home.  So much for that.  Service was suspended entirely from 137th down to Grand Central, so then I took the  over to Metro-North, but missed the damn connection, so it took me almost two hours to get home.

96 Street should be good enough to turn all of Broadway’s trains, no? 57 Street–7 Avenue seems like a terrible place to turn trains since that is the only way to/from 96 Street from Broadway.
