TrainFanInfinity Posted September 29, 2012 Share #403 Posted September 29, 2012 (edited) The WHOLE LINE is down??? Since when did they do that? You forgot something... As an alternate LIRR is horning NYCT MetroCard at the following Stations: Met-Willets Point, Woodside and Hunterspoint Avenue. Please expect delay in train service at this time. Cool, use a Metrocard to get on the LIRR Edited September 29, 2012 by TrainFanInfinity 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please expect delay in train service at this time. One Signal trouble caused the entire shutdown of the 7?! What I don't get is, if the whole line is down, why they said "please expect delays in train service at this time." Isn't there NO train service at this time? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrainFanInfinity Posted September 29, 2012 Share #405 Posted September 29, 2012 (edited) The Weekender: Due to A/C power related signal trouble at Vernon Blvd-Jackson Ave, service is suspended between Main St and Times Square-42nd St in both directions. As an alternative, Long Island Rail Road is cross honoring MetroCards at Flushing-Main St, Mets-Willets Point, Woodside, and Hunters Pt Ave. We apologize for the inconvenience. Monitor this page or Service Status for updates. ---------------------------------------------- It's all because of an A/C???

Amtrak7 Posted September 29, 2012 Share #406 Posted September 29, 2012 (edited) Email alert history: 0827: No service TSQ-QBP 0850: Line suspended 1019: No service TSQ-QBP Current: Due to a signal problems at the Vernon Blvd- Jackson Avenue Station, there are no train service from the Times Square-42 Street Station to the Queensboro Plaza Station in both directions. There is also shuttle bus service running from the 74 Street-Broadway to the Flushing-Main Street Station making all subway stops in both directions. As an alternate LIRR is honoring NYCT MetroCard at the following Stations: Flushing-Main Street, Met- Willets Point,Woodside, Hunterspoint Avenue, Long Island City and Penn Station. Please expect delay in train service at this time. Why are the buses running next to the part of the line that is operational? And I seriously hope nobody's waiting for the LIRR at Mets-Willets, HPA, or LIC... A/C power problem means commercial power is either out or reduced voltage.

Guest Lance Posted September 29, 2012 Share #410 Posted September 29, 2012 See, this is exactly why people get frustrated with the MTA. These communication problems are atrocious. If the line isn't running, say the line isn't running. If it's running in sections, say the line is running sections and specify what said sections are. That info-dump that Amtrak7 posted above is a mess of unnecessary crap. The bus overlap shouldn't even be mentioned unless there is limited service running between Main St and 74 St. It gives the impression there's no service running between those two stations. And in the mess of info, there isn't anything about having the riders transfer to the E, F or R trains for service between Manhattan and Brooklyn, especially with the N being split up this weekend. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NX Express Posted September 29, 2012 Share #412 Posted September 29, 2012 A free transfer should be made between Queensboro Plaza and Queens Plaza for and customers. Of course, on-the-spot thinking has never been a strong point for the MTA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysterious2train Posted September 29, 2012 Share #415 Posted September 29, 2012 Hmmm, outage between Manhattan and Queens during an outage between Manhattan and Queens? I wonder how this would compare to a outage during Rush Hour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gonna take the 7 shuttle bus today, but it didn't come, than an agent said the is back to normal. All without notice. Oh and the 7 shuttle sign was in back of a business card.SMH. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSubwayStation Posted September 30, 2012 Share #421 Posted September 30, 2012 This is rare: Service Advisory Due to early completion of weekend track work, resume regular service between 59th St - Lexington Ave and Queens. resumes between 42nd St-Times Square and 57th St-7th Ave. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interested Rider Posted September 30, 2012 Share #422 Posted September 30, 2012 Lance is correct that the information given out for unplanned subway disruptions (and I must add, it is no better with unplanned bus disruptions as well) is incorrect and in many cases erroneous. What is the purpose of giving out information to the public which is not correct? Is it for someone to say "look what i am doing" to justify their position? What this does is that it supports the theory that the agency's employees that write and approve the information being disseminated to the public are totally out of touch with the reality of the situation. I am sorry but this will not change, now or in the near future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
