That's new. I wonder how many agents actually knew about this and how many of them just told riders to take a hike. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should've done all of this track maintenance when they re-did the stations along the Brighton Line to alleviate the need for so much of it now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for nothing, but the station and line rehab on the Brighton line wrapped up in late 2011, well over six years ago. Constant use of the tracks will require general maintenance over time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably an error in the coding. It sounds like that should be inverted since the running on the (a service change to the Broadway line) would no doubt cause delays in 6th Avenue service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted May 10, 2018 Share #5143 Posted May 10, 2018 You'd think that with those fancy new signals, they'd be able to turn trains at Myrtle-Wyckoff Avs. You'd also be excused in believing they could run Manhattan shuttles for the duration of the service change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like that should be inverted since the running on the (a service change to the Broadway line) would no doubt cause delays in 6th Avenue service. One of the things I've noticed creating my sign - for instance this weekend when everything N/B on QBL was express - the errant "local" train would show up in the subwaytime data. The time would count down until it got to 6 min - which is queens plaza from the station I had it set to - and then change to "Delay". I wasn't timing it, but anecdotally I'd say that the "Delay" wouldn't clear until the time had passed that the train was originally scheduled to arrive. The GTFS data doesn't have minute-countdowns, it has arrival times. I believe the countdown clocks and the subwaytime app are fed by the same server that provides a RESTful API from the GTFS, and that's what's creating the countdowns. I believe it's that server which is could have better handling of rerouted trains. In essence, the server is looking at the current time, and the arrival time at a given station, and getting the difference for the countdown clock. I think that if a given train no longer has an arrival time at that station, it falls back to generating "Delay" until the original arrival time has passed. Note I've been polling the subwaytime API directly (their fault for not using tokens) so I have no idea how this is showing up in the GTFS-realtime. I'm eventually going to modify and spool up a copy of this one, and maybe I can even improve on the MTA contractor's reroute handling. 🤓 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
