Wallyhorse Posted August 20, 2015 Share #3304 Posted August 20, 2015 Didn't think so. Unless they rebuilt the track switch at Rector, how would they do it if new SF is not available? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulrivera Posted August 20, 2015 Share #3307 Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) Due to Con Ed related power problems at Bowling Green, the following service changes are in effect: Southbound and trains are terminating at Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall and Bowling Green. trains are running on the line from Nevins St to 149 St-Grand Concourse in both directions. Northbound trains are terminating at Atlantic Av-Barclays Center. , , and trains are running with delays in both directions. As an alternative customers can take the , , , , and . Allow additional travel time. They turned a from Woodlawn at Burnside, which is an incredible waste of capacity and leaves people stranded unnecessarily. They're probably turning some trains at 149th, along with some trains at 3rd Av, some and trains at E180 and probably dropping some train and Nereid runs too. Good thing I made it to the Bronx when this mess started. Edited August 20, 2015 by paulrivera 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel Up Front Posted August 20, 2015 Share #3310 Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) Oh, ConEd. The / changes aren't power-related.

Abba Posted August 21, 2015 Share #3311 Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) This is how service ran in Brooklyn during the Power Outage. normal. local in Brooklyn then via and vice versa.The was not running at all in Brooklyn which was contrary to the MTA website which said that northbound trains were turning at Atlantic.there was NO express service in Brooklyn at all.People at Altlantic (including me) were waiting on the express tracks for no reason.The countdown clocks actually said "Train Schedule is not available.I know the MTA is thinking "Why run a shuttle no one will take it" But during rush hour it's a different story..,They should have ran a shuttle between Utica and Atlatic.It would have lessened the crowds on the Brooklyn trains.The only thing that was good about it was that there was no bottlenecking at Nostrand Junction.

Wallyhorse Posted August 21, 2015 Share #3312 Posted August 21, 2015 Yeah, I would have run an express shuttle between most likely Nevins and Utica, or if you could switch tracks north of the Borough Hall station on the , Borough Hall and Utica. That would have solved that issue better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abba Posted August 21, 2015 Share #3313 Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) They Proboblay don't think it's worth it ,but during rush hour I think it is.Maybe they thought it would end earlier.But they are very resistant to run service in Brooklyn If if can't get into Manhattan.

Which is very short-sighted. Even if you don't start until Borough Hall, that part of Brooklyn has enough ridership to warrant doing so. Plus, you would remedied other problems in Brooklyn as well, especially since those who took the Broadway line to Court Street and could change there to the . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollOver Posted August 21, 2015 Share #3315 Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) Borough Hall still has the and rerouted .

Wallyhorse Posted August 21, 2015 Share #3316 Posted August 21, 2015 Borough Hall still has the and rerouted . There's no need to run an express shuttle train on the Eastern Parkway Line unnecessary. Main problem is, you had people on the express platform at Atlantic apparently specifically waiting for the as noted, plus if you could get the to Borough Hall, it was worth doing because people looking for the coming from the at Court Street if they knew the would be there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollOver Posted August 21, 2015 Share #3317 Posted August 21, 2015 Nonsense. There are simple ways to handle situations like this one yesterday. The walk from the to the is shorter because all they have to do is just walk up the stairs and head straight at Atlantic (and I think Borough Hall too). All riders on Eastern Parkway still had service at every station, aside from the aforementioned issue with the Lex. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abba Posted August 21, 2015 Share #3318 Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) The problem is trains were packed to the brim.If there would have been a shuttle there would have been not as packed trains.Run it every 10 min till the problem clears.only because it was rush hour they should have done it.Otherwise no.

RollOver Posted August 21, 2015 Share #3319 Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) Alot more people are headed towards the Flatbush and New Lots branches than they are towards Utica. Utica is the busiest Brooklyn IRT station (aside from Borough Hall and Atlantic), but if you combined all 7 stations on the Flatbush branch, as well as all the 7 stations on the New Lots branch (including Nostrand and Kingston), the have heavier loads than the . The is heavy in the morning northbound from my experiences, but that's only because the high number of people going towards the Lex than 7th Ave. But either way, the Lex was affected and people trying to get from Brooklyn to the Lex still had to transfer like 2 times regardless of overcrowding anyway.

Lance Posted August 22, 2015 Share #3321 Posted August 22, 2015 Re Joralemon Tubes closure: What should've happened was that announcements should've been made at Atlantic Av that there was no service on the middle platform. As for a shuttle from Utica to Atlantic, that would've been beyond useless. Trains terminating at Atlantic would've been held by passengers looking for Manhattan-bound service. Sending that shuttle to Borough Hall may not have been an option since it appears the problem was on the Brooklyn end of the tunnels. Power may have shut off at that part of the station through the duration of the closure. And by the way, few riders are transferring from the to the or vice-versa. With both lines a block or so apart from Atlantic Av, Brooklyn to 14 Street, it wouldn't make sense to transfer between lines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollOver Posted August 22, 2015 Share #3322 Posted August 22, 2015 Yeah. That's also why I said that running a shuttle in Brooklyn is unnecessary. The would still be crowded anyway for all the reasons I've stated on the previous page, despite what Wallyhorse and Appa have been saying. The only people who would be on that shuttle are those trying to get to the Lex, and that leads to the problems described above this post. Not really much you can do much about overcrowding or whatever during this situations like this anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
