It's similar to when signal problems occur. In many cases, where alternative routes exist, trains may be rerouted down that way (but may not be listed on the MTA website). The is also running every 12-20 minutes at this time (which is not what it is normally scheduled, but it is also not explicitly mentioned). I get all of that but why would a structural repair be an unplanned change? That doesn't make any sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just remembered that they planned to shut down the tracks a few weeks ago and now they just pulled the rug out from everyone.

T to Dyre Avenue Posted July 30, 2018 Share #5455 Posted July 30, 2018 I fully agree. It was really shitty of them not to post this up on the MTA website a few weeks ago. While it's not on the same level as the tunnel reconstruction, still some advance notice is needed. The only notice I got was a PA announcement this morning at Times Square, starting with the customary PC greeting "Hello everyone..." (am I the only one who still gets annoyed by that ?). If it hadn't been for the discussion on the Forums and Subchat and the NY Curbed article, I would have probably dismissed it as yet another annoying "Hello everyone" PSA. Seriously Andy (Byford), don't drop the ball here! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those who propose ridiculous service patterns like using Broadway–Lafayette Street to get to Williamsburg from 8 Avenue (, , , or whatever)… take heed. The are like 10 T.P.H. or less each, and today there was a backlog of trains all the way to Fort Hamilton Parkway () at 8:35 AM in the morning. Such merging shouldn’t be done even for emergency reroutes, and the MTA now wants to use it for regular rush hour service? Crazy. Good thing I have the and . If I passed out on one of those trains during rush hour, I’d tell the emergency responders too: “o ot esuscitate—tired of this shit show.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abba Posted July 31, 2018 Share #5459 Posted July 31, 2018 I think it would be good for the (N) to run local all way with the (R) to 57/7 from 59th st in Brooklyn during this shutdown.A lot of commuters would complain but the end result would be a LOT less merging . I saw on subway time tonight at times lots of tranins trying to get in S/B at 36th st.If my plan would be there would Be no merging whatsoever! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw on subway time tonight at times lots of tranins trying to get in S/B at 36th st.If my plan would be there would Be no merging whatsoever! that service pattern was done about 11 years ago when the connection between the south Manhattan Bridge track and the DeKalb Av bypass was out. The made all stops via the Coney Island-bound for one month, while the Astoria-bound remained express. The service was at least 20 minutes slower, but additional cars were added to the for the local service. right now, we have a car shortage, and to provide this extra service, you would need at least 6 additional train sets (which are not even available) to run and increase the spare factor for the . The Whitehall St merge will then be overcrowded with the passing thru the local track, which has very low capacity between Whitehall St and Canal St due to the sharp curves, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
