12-9 at 20 Avenue  in Bensonhurst has FUBARed the line. N trains are being turned at 9 Avenue , Whitehall Street-South Ferry , or Bay Ridge-95 Street . Alternate service via the B9 (8 Avenue to 20 Avenue) or crosstown buses from the  or .

And on top of that, you have the  taking 30 minutes going thru the 60 St tunnel due to signal problems at Queensboro Plaza and some  trains going to 96 St. Not a good day to ride on the . 
 

why can’t the trains end at 59 St like they did when Sea Beach was closed for sandy Flood restoration right after the hurricane or run thru West End to Bay Parkway

Exactly . Really the  shouldn’t run in Brooklyn  (and the  should take its place till new lots). but if they insist do what you said.

Probably an issue of where the power had to be cut. I'm surprised that some  trains didn't go to Bay Parkway (West End).

trains are all over the place right now.

The line is FUBAR right now, due to some problem at West 8th

Running express southbound on the from 62 Street due to a stalled train with mechanical problems several stations ahead!

EDIT 1 (6:11): no train at Bay Parkway across the platform. Problem must be further down.

EDIT 2 (6:12): local stops announced. Train must have recovered already.

Brighton had its own troubles with service gaps. 3 s and 3 s were coming down the bridge bunched together. From what i could see, the trains came through DeKalb Avenue like this: , (bypass), (bypass), , , , , . I was on that first and then the first .

That first never caught the first and never got a lead over the second . From what I could tell, the train operator was (proverbially) dragging his feet getting the train into stations. That was as good as a local.

Wow. That's got to be one of the worst services ever provided. The  and  each should have never came in pairs or triplets like that. It should have been , , , ,  instead of two s, two s, and a .

And don't get me started on the slow  express. For a line that does not have any timers along its express run in Brooklyn (save for the approach/leaving Brighton Beach), that kind of operation is just a big no-no.

Oh don’t get me wrong. It’s a pretty fast express. It just depends on the T/O in question. Same with the other expresses in the system.

The only consistent fast place to me is Chambers-96 on the  . 6th between West 4th and 34th also feels rather fast at times.

This is unbelievable how? 46 St is between those 2 stations, you need to shut off power on multiple tracks to deal with 12-9s generally, and the shortest possible diversion is from...Queens Plaza to Roosevelt.

Well, you know...those silly Cops and Firefighters...always going on about not being electrocuted or hit by other trains as the Crew, Supervision and EMS play everyone's favorite game: 'Find All The Teeth', it always drags out since the person's shoes always seem to fly off in  random directions.

I was referring to that there were 2 12-9's on Queens Blvd in the span of 3 hours, that's why I quoted BM5's post...
