Unplanned Subway Service Changes

Recommended Posts

Service Change  Posted: 06/02/2018 12:53PM 

Some Far Rockaway bound (A) Subway trains will run to Howard Beach or Euclid Av and end.

Northbound (A) Subway and Rockaway (S) Subway trains are running with delays.

These service changes and delays are because of signal problems at Broad Channel.

Our crews are on the scene working to restore normal service as quickly as possible.

As an alternative customers are advised to use local Q52-SBS bus service which runs between Rockaway Blvd and Beach 60 St, or the Q53-SBS bus which runs between Rockaway Blvd and Rockaway Park Beach 116 St.

Northbound (6) trains are running express from 3 Av-138 St to Hunts Point Av because of a train with mechanical problems at Brook Av.

For northbound (6) train service at bypassed stations, take a southbound (6) train to 3 Av-138 St for a northbound (6) train.

Our crews are on the scene investigating at this time. We anticipate resuming normal service soon. Stay tuned for updates.

How in the world do they terminate (7) at 61st-Woodside if they removed the switches years ago? Do they run trains on the express track and just skip 69th? Looks like recipe for disaster!

I would guess it's just a handful of trains that would terminate on the express track there given they have trains also going to HP and QBP.

I’m actually glad I missed my usual 7:12 Q16 bus that I take to Flushing for the <7> . Otherwise, I would have been caught up in that madness. Probably explains why my QM20 express bus (caught it at 7:18) was full this morning (it usually isn’t).

There were still delays when I took the (7) but I had no issues.  I was coming from the direction of Hudson Yards going east, but only a few stops.

They had a (7) shuttle service between Hudson Yards and Grand Central. The incident took place at Vernon-Jackson, so they were able to use whatever trains they had on the Manhattan side to run the shuttle.

Yeah I knew about it from the status page, but when I got on the train, I didn't hear anything about the train not going into Queens, but there were still delays.

Why aren't (R) trains going to 179th to reduce the delays into forest hills?

Probably to mitigate service issues along Broadway and into Brooklyn. That makes me wonder, why not send some (R) trains to 179th, and send some trains up the 2nd Avenue line to 96 Street, so they can maintain some Queens-bound service, but also maintain Brooklyn-bound service as well without too many big gaps. 

 

In any case:

There is no (7) train service between 34 St-Hudson Yards and Times Sq-42 St in both directions.

(7) trains are running with delays in both directions.

These service changes are because of signal problems at 34 St-Hudson Yards.

I’m happy that the MTA is starting to say “a train,s emergency brakes were automatically activated” . It sounds a little weird but it’s the truth vs “a train with mechanical problems”. Probobaly some passengers think “What.? How many trains are emergency brakes automatically activated? It feels like a lot but it’s not really a lot.

A while back rather than say "unauthorized passenger" or "police investigation" they said there was a fatal fall(or suicide) on the third rail (can't remember which one though). It's better to know that as that makes more sense and leaves people less confused then just saying a "police investigation" or an "unauthorized passenger".
