Some Reroutes Posted: 1/6/20 11:04 PM

Some Dyckman St-bound (1) trains are ending at 215 St while crews continue to work on a switch malfunction at Dyckman St.

Expect delays in both directions.

 

 

Delays Posted: 1/6/20 11:41 PM

(Q) trains are holding in stations in both directions while FDNY conduct an investigation at 7 Av in Brooklyn.

They took a (B) out of service. I just saw one passing West 8 Street about 15 minutes ago. The Brighton Beach terminal was vacant. Apparently, none of the express stations had been served because there were quite many people.

Those who are waiting patiently despite the countdown clocks not showing any (B) trains and/or “DELAY”—I salute you.

I'm wondering how they're able to turn both the (4) and (5) at Bowling Green with the current headways. Normally they run the (5) only to Grand Central or East 180th St.

The train doesn’t have to be cleaned out at Bowling Green. It’s no different than the current setup at BB on the (6) and provided the crew made proper announcements most people will be off the train at Fulton Street.

R179s are hurting J/Z service:

https://mymtaalerts.com/m?CF84B

There is reduced J train service during the morning rush while we evaluate a mechanical issue that may affect J and Z trains. J trains will make all local stops and run approximately every 7 minutes, compared to every 5 minutes in the standard schedule.

Z trains are not running.

Expect longer wait times and crowding.

Was meant to post this yesterday around 11:30 PM but during that time, (N) trains were delayed at Barclays Center going to Gravesend-86 St on the local track were delayed b/c a C/R was spat on at that station by a disruptive passenger.

There is no (F) train service in either direction between Jamaica-179 St & Forest Hills-71 Av because someone was struck by a train at Jamaica-179 St.

See a station agent for a courtesy pass to transfer between nearby buses & the (E) train. Go to http://bt.mta.info/ for real-time bus arrival information.

There are extensive delays and multiple impacts to (1)(2) and (3) service because of a water main break near 66 St-Lincoln Ctr.

 

(1) and (2) service is suspended between Times Sq-42 St and 96 St in both directions.

(2) trains are running on the (5) line between Nevins St and 149 St-Grand Concourse in both directions.

(3) service is suspended in both directions.

 

For alternate service between the Bronx and Manhattan, take (4)(5) or (6) service.

 

For alternate service between Brooklyn and Manhattan, take (B)(D)(N)(Q)(R)(4) or (5) service.

 

For alternate service in Manhattan north of 110 St, use (4)(5) or (6) service.

 

For alternate service on the Upper West Side, take (B) and (C) service.

 

For alternate service in lower Manhattan, use (4) and (5) service.

What's worse is that since the (3) is suspended, there are no inbound trains to New Lots Avenue right now and (4) trains are still ending at Crown Heights according to subway time.

Even though MTA says (2) via (5) it looks like “some”  (2) trains are running regular from Brooklyn  and terminating at Times Square. It seems like (1) train service south of 96 is extremely limited.

 

EDIT: looks like the south (1) section is every 10 min. (3) trains on the south side every 15 min. (2) is actually normal headways it seems

I haven't seen any (2) trains on Lexington since it got partially suspended according to subwaytime.

The IRT SubwayTime has been off with the information most of the day. Service hasn't been restored yet.

(A) and (D) service is suspended between 125 St and 59 St-Columbus Circle because of a water main break at 103 St.

 

There is extremely limited service in Manhattan: Some northbound (A) trains will end at Jay St-MetroTech or Chambers St, and some southbound (A) trains will end at 168 St or 145 St. Some northbound (D) trains will end at 42 St-Bryant Park, and some southbound (D)  trains will end at 145 St.

 

(A) trains are running local in Manhattan and Brooklyn.

 

Expect extensive delays in both directions.

 

For alternate service between 59 St-Columbus Circle and 135 St, use (1)(2) and (3) train service.

 

For service north of 135 St, consider using M3, M4 and Bx7 bus service or (1)  train shuttle buses running on Broadway and on St Nicholas Av.

 

For service between Manhattan and the Bronx, use (4)  service in the Bronx and transfer to/from (2) trains that serve the west side of Manhattan at 149 St-Grand Concourse.

 

(2) service may be crowded, so consider using (4) service between Manhattan and the Bronx. Take crosstown buses between (4) train stations on the east side of Manhattan and destinations on the west side.

(C) train service is suspended because of a water main break at 103 St.

 

Southbound (C) trains that have already departed 168 St will end at 125 St.

 

Northbound (C) trains that have already departed Euclid Av will end at Chambers St or 59 St-Columbus Circle.

 

For alternate service in Manhattan, consider using nearby (1)(2)  and (3) train service.

 

For alternate service in Brooklyn, consider using Atrains, which will make local stops.

 

Expect extensive delays in both directions.

 

Note: (A) and (D) service is suspended between 59 St-Columbus Circle and 125 St and trains are running with significant delays in both directions.

 

(1) trains are also suspended between 137 St-City College and Van Cortlandt Park-242 St while we conduct planned work. Consider using shuttle buses running on St Nicholas Av and on Broadway.

There is no (4) train service between Burnside Av and 149 St-Grand Concourse in both directions while emergency teams respond to someone who was struck by a train at Mt Eden Av.

As an alternative, consider taking the (D) train or the Bx1 or Bx2 bus.

See a station agent and receive a courtesy pass for continuing train or bus service.

There is no (M) and (J) train service between Broadway Junction and Marcy Av in both directions while we investigate a train that had its brakes activated at Myrtle Av.

As an alternative, for service between Manhattan and Brooklyn, take the (A) , (L) or the B54 bus for service along Broadway.

See a station agent and receive a courtesy pass for continuing train or bus service.

A lot of brakes activated today. Three trains were activated northbound at Fulton st today . After the second they just copied and pasted the first email . Then they corrected it to say that some southbound (4) and (5) would terminate at Brooklyn Bridge to provide service north. Why did they have to investigate every train that went BIE there. Can’t they assume the same reason activated all three brakes?

Can’t they assume the same reason activated all three brakes?

The reason is that we can’t assume that the cause is the same for every incident. I can remember when a few trains went BIE around 96th St. and Broadway some years ago. IIRC they found a decomposing body under the platform. Not every train that passed by went BIE. I was involved in an investigation where three or more trains went BIE on the s/b express tracks just north of Brooklyn Bridge with no cause found. When I arrived at the scene a motor instructor I knew suggested a different test. I moved my train as slow as possible through the affected area. He actually discovered that one of the running rails was flexing up and down affecting the track circuit causing the stop arm to rise and fall putting the trains in emergency. It was creating a track circuit and the stop arm would trip the train and then return to normal. A normal investigation by a train operator would never discover that type of problem. In that particular case it was the same reason for the earlier random BIE cases. When I left the motor instructor on the scene I figured he’d be there for a while. Three and a half hours later he was on the s/b platform at Worth St while the track department was putting replacement spikes in and the signal guys were waiting for track to finish their work. If the motor instructor didn’t find the problem earlier by rule every BIE that occurred would have to be investigated. Remember that old saying about assume ? I can assure you that assuming leads to discipline in RTO. Carry on.

(A) train service is suspended between Ozone Park-Lefferts Blvd and Rockaway Blvd because of a problem with the signaling system at Rockaway Blvd.

 

Lefferts Blvd-bound(A) trains will end at Howard Beach-JFK Airport.

 

Expect delays in both directions.

 

Please see a station agent to receive a courtesy pass for continuing subway and bus service.

 

For alternate service between Ozone Park-Lefferts Blvd and Rockaway Blvd, use Q8 bus service.

There are delays and multiple impacts to (E)(F)(M)(R)(W) service while our crews work to correct an issue at the Forest Hills-71 Av terminal.

 

(M)(R) trains are delayed entering and leaving the terminal, which means there is very limited (R) train service to Bay Ridge and (M) train service to Middle Village.

 

(W) trains are running to Bay Ridge-95 St to provide local service in Brooklyn.
