Abba Posted November 14, 2019 Share #6676 Posted November 14, 2019 Actually what they could have done was maybe Run local via tunnel 4th ave local to 86 . express to 59th on express discharge run light to somewhere sea beach express track then turn around. How’s that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainmaster5 Posted November 14, 2019 Share #6677 Posted November 14, 2019 Did anyone else come across the report about the train suspension between Broadway Junction and Jamaica Center? A signal problem at Cleveland St caused by a blown fuse? Things like this is why I don’t care about New car deliveries as much as some posters do.

Running the every 16 minutes is a violation of NYCT policy. No matter what the situation is on the road, you keep the headways to a minimum of 10 minutes. They did not reroute any 6th Av Express trains (under your scenario - the ) via Rutgers St and Culver Local since they would just get in the way of the . The issue was on the Brighton Line anyway, and the 4th Av Line was the only other South Brooklyn BMT four-track mainline corridor to reroute Brighton Line trains to. Simple solution was to keep the via tunnel or bridge, 4th Av local to Gravesend-86th, the suspended (any leftover s out remain in service via 4th Ave Express and West End to Bay Parkway then out of service for the night), and the via 4th Av Express and West End to Coney Island. Your scenario spreads the Brighton Line issue at Prospect Park to every South Brooklyn lettered line instead of just the 4th Ave line and make the even less reliable than it already is.

But yes, that's one notable reason. (There's also the fact that, even with the third pair, we'd be two cars short on that proposal, and we'd still have to worry about a train crapping out.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can not terminate them at Kings Hwy on the Sea Beach Line. Actually you can terminate trains at Kings Highway on the Sea Beach and yes I mean relay trains. It's been done before on the Trains numerous of times. Hell it was done yesterday due to the signal issue at 86th Street. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BM5 via Woodhaven Posted November 16, 2019 Share #6685 Posted November 16, 2019 Trains Rerouted Posted: 11/16/2019 3:14AM Northbound trains are ending at Brighton Beach while we get EMS assistance for a customer at Kings Hwy. Expect delays in both directions. As an alternative, consider taking the B68 bus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abba Posted November 17, 2019 Share #6686 Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) There is no Franklin Av service in either direction while NYPD completes an investigation at Franklin Av. For continued service, consider taking a B48 bus. I don’t understand why they can’t run an shuttle from Prospect park to Botanic Garden (or even park place if power is on there) and back. Is power off on The Whole shuttle Line? If not no excuse not to do it! Edited November 17, 2019 by Abba 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N6 Limited Posted November 18, 2019 Share #6689 Posted November 18, 2019 Delays service has resumed between Lefferts Blvd-Ozone Park and Rockaway Blvd in both directions while we work to fix a signal problem at Rockaway Blvd. Trains may experience delays through the area as our crews manually operate the switch machines to move trains between tracks.

I wonder if this was someone who wandered onto the tracks, Pretty sure this "RT" really is someone from the MTA's social media team. In another news: Local to Express Southbound and Church Av-bound trains are running express from Smith-9 Sts to Church Av while get EMS and NYPD assistance for an MTA employee who was assaulted at 7 Av. For service to/from bypassed stations, use northbound or Court Sq-bound train service. Posted: 11/20/19 7:09 PM I feel like there's been an uptick in incidents regarding MTA employees being assaulted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BM5 via Woodhaven Posted November 23, 2019 Share #6698 Posted November 23, 2019 Trains Rerouted Posted: 11/22/19 9:08 PM To prepare for this weekend's planned work, southbound trains will run modified service patterns starting around 9:10pm. Until 10pm, trains will operate normally until DeKalb Av, then via the line in Brooklyn. After 10pm, trains will run on the line in Manhattan starting at 47-50 Sts-Rockefeller Ctr. If you're at Atlantic Av-Barclays Ctr after approximately 9:45pm, trains will arrive on the platform. If you're on Sixth Avenue in Manhattan after approximately 10pm, you'll see trains on the express track. These re-routed trains will not run all the way to Coney Island-Stillwell Av, because they need to get to Coney Island Yard. trains will end at 9 Av, 62 St, or Bay Parkway. Please be sure to listen for any on-board crew announcements. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
