Service Change

 trains have service changes and delays because a train's brakes were activated at 72 St.

There is no  service in either direction between 57 St/7 Av and 96 St.

For service to stations between 57 St/7 Av and 96 St, consider using M31 bus service; See a station agent to receive a courtesy pass for continuing service.

Expect delays in both directions on the  line south of 57 St/7 Av.

Even though it doesn't say, I'm pretty sure that  trains aren't running to 96th Street either.

Having the run to 145 if 96th/2nd is unavailable would make sense and the should have a contingency plan for that OR have the  go to 168 with the  and terminate there in that scenario.

First time I have ever seen my old bus route (M31) ever said for alternative service.  Used to use that in the days before it was extended to the west side (used to terminate at 59th/Lex).

With the , given the  situation on weekends  having an alternate terminal if 96th/2nd is unavailable is necessary so the can. run up 6th Avenue, which IS the priority.
