Northbound trains are stopping along the   line from 57 St-7 Av and end at 96 St.

and trains are running with delays in both directions.

These service changes are because of switch problems at Astoria-Ditmars Blvd.

Expect delays in ,  , and train service.

With this kind of a reroute, you can bet on more delays. Why not de-interline the local and express in this situation?

[BM5 via Woodhaven]

This will most certainly evolve?

Delays  Posted: 09/09/2018 12:51AM 

trains are running with delays in both directions because of an investigation of a loss of power at Avenue X. 

 

Updates:

1:00 AM - There are 'Delayed' readings across the board on the Culver Line, and there is bunching on the upper Culver Line. Looks like trains are being held

1:03 AM - 'Delayed' readings are showing up at all Manhattan Stations going southbound, and at stations south of Church Avenue going northbound

1:11 AM - There appears to be nothing moving south of Church Avenue.  train service is only running on the NB side of the northern Culver Line. SB  trains will be delayed.

The last three trains that were suppose to go express in the morning actually ran local and there wasn't a single southbound  in sight. Crowding was insane.

Then I get stuck in this  train madness.

That's actually pretty close to regular service. That second train appears to be a few minutes late.

That just highlights how bad service can get in the Rockaways.

Rockaways service is always poor- 20-30 minute headways on summer weekends are rather normal, so much so that I was surprised to only wait 7 mins for a train to RPK after missing one over the summer. Makes me wonder if the low ridership (mainly on the RPK branch) is a result of the poor service they provide.

Here's how I belive something:

If your going to provide poor service on a line, there's a 90% chance that lines ridership will stay low.
