Service Change  Posted: 06/18/2018  6:51PM 
 

Some Main St bound <7> and (7) express trains will end at 61 St-Woodside or Mets-Willets Point.

NYCT crews continue to repair a switch problem at Flushing-Main St. As a result of significant congestion through the area, there are extensive delays in both directions on the (7) and <7> express lines. Bus service is accommodating customers in both directions between Mets-Willets Point and Flushing Main St.

As an alternative, the LIRR is accommodating MetroCard holders at no additional fare in both directions between Penn StationWoodside, and Flushing-Main St.

Thank you for your patience.

The first iteration was to dump the passengers in Citi Field and take the Q48. Scary thought, and not a good look on a line where the residents suffer through weekend CBTC closures. The MTA can't honestly say its due to worn out parts from the 30s here...

I'd be curious to see what the  leading cause of switch failures is for the MTA.

Sally Librera brought up the 7-line woes yesterday in committee. They've identified that the legacy signal system is responsible for the astounding number of delays that line faces (no surprise there -- they haven't maintained that sh*t properly since CBTC cutover got tangibly close), so hopefully they'll do *something* to mitigate it.

Due to a heat-related reduction in power being delivered to Staten Island Railway,  express service will be suspended and trains will run every 15 minutes making local stops between 4 PM and 8 PM. 

ConEd personnel are working to resolve the issue this evening. We thank you for your patience.

There is no (L) train service between Lorimer St and Broadway Junction in both directions.

Canarsie bound (L) trains will end at Lorimer St.

Canarsie bound (L) trains are originating at Broadway Junction, departing off of the (J) level platform.

These service changes are because of a person struck by a train at Wilson Av.

Service is resuming at this time in both directions on the (L) line. Expect significant delays as congestion clears.

Not mentioned, but one (F) train is going down the (D) between Broadway-Laffayette and Stillwell Avenue. We hope more will follow soon, since there's already 30+ minute headways.

They already deadhead a (D) train from Stillwell to W4 via Culver to mitigate these kinds of issues and it's still not enough...

Maybe it's time to deadhead an (N) into Manhattan via Brighton to mitigate this some more....

It is a 3-tracked line. The (1) has 3 tracks between just south of 103 street and 145 street, then has 2 tracks from 145 street to Dyckman Street, and then has 3 tracks until just south of 242nd street.

If there is a problem at 145 can the (1) just simply just skip that station ?
