WTC-bound and Coney Island-bound trains are running on the local tracks from Jackson Hts-Roosevelt Av to 36 St (QNS) because a train's brakes were activated near 36 St on the express tracks.

 

Expect delays in  and  train service.

 

Based on Subway Time:

Some Jamaica-bound traina are running local in Queens

[paulrivera]

The delays are so bad that SubwayTime data was pulled offline for the IRT (They’re embarrased)

“There is reduced southbound 4 and 5 train service while our crews work on a signal problem at Fulton St.

The last stop on some southbound 4trains will be 149 St-Grand Concourse.

Some southbound 5 trains are running on the 2 line from 149 St-Grand Concourse to Nevins St.

Expect delays in 2 3 4 and 5train service.”

What annoys the hell out of me is trying to use the subwaytime info during rush hour. Usually always down...

What’s funny was that the 7th Avenue and Lex data was down, but the  and the B division was up just fine.

Then the data magically came back online once the “signal problem resolved” alert went out.

This would have been half tolerable if Culver Express service existed. Instead, today's commute consisted of a stuffed B82 Select, to a painfully slow northbound that was already overcrowded at Kings Highway.

It was really bad this morning, not only for the Brighton Line, but for the 4th Avenue Line which had to deal with all the extra congestion, as well as Broadway, Astoria, and 6th Avenue. 

Apparently, the police was called in to turn people away at Kings Highway:

 

Service has since resumed:

Delays

train service has extensive delays in both directions after a train's brakes were activated at Prospect Park and we helped a sick customer at Atlantic Av-Barclays Ctr.

 

Please allow additional travel time and consider alternate service options. We regret the inconvenience these service disruptions have caused.

I'd be interested to know the context here. You're generally not supposed to take bathroom breaks unless at your terminal.

You cannot be denied a comfort, if you gotta go then you gotta go. It happened to me on the 6 once at the BB loop, I knew that there was no way I’d be able to make it back to Parkchester holding it in (keep in mind on lines like the J and 6 you don’t get off the train at the end)  called it in and went at the bridge.

It’s pretty shady of them to post that to put the public against us, but I’ll leave it at that...
