Vulturious Posted December 22, 2023 Share #8051 Posted December 22, 2023 Express to Local Southbound are running with severe delays. Southbound trains are rerouted after Queens Plaza, resuming regular service at DeKalb Av. What Happened? NYPD conducted an investigation after a train's brakes were activated on the express track at Prince St. Additional Updates: Southbound trains are running on the line from Queens Plaza to 5 Av/53 St, then via the line from 47-50 Sts-Rockefeller Ctr to W 4 St-Wash Sq, and then via the line to DeKalb Av, where they will resume making regular stops. Southbound trains have resumed making regular stops in Manhattan. Alternatives: Manhattan: For service along 2nd Ave, take nearby trains on Lexington Ave. For service along 7th Ave and Broadway, take trains. Between Manhattan and Brooklyn, consider or trains. Brooklyn: For service in Brooklyn, take a train or a B68 bus. Take a B82 or B82-SBS bus for service to Kings Hwy on the line. Take a B35 bus along Church Av for service.

BM5 via Woodhaven Posted December 24, 2023 Share #8053 Posted December 24, 2023 (edited) This is the fourth time in four days now I believe, that train service has been suspended due to people being struck by trains. Earlier this week people were struck at Bushwick Ave, Atlantic Ave(?) , and East 105th Street. Part Suspended There is no train service between Atlantic Av and Lorimer St in both directions. Emergency teams are responding to a person who was struck by a train at Myrtle-Wyckoff Avs. The last stop on Canarsie-Rockaway Pkwy-bound trains will be Lorimer St. The last stop on 8 Av-bound trains will be Atlantic Av. As an alternative for service consider using nearby (A) trains.

Something about a stuck brake or whatever relating to vandalism, DJH is saying something about it with people messing with the brakes and even someone breaking into the cab and screwing with the fuses. Guess we'll see later on if what he said is true with photo and video evidence, those are bound to appear. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay so update, apparently there was an issue with one of the axels and the brakes had to be pulled taking the train out of service. Vandalism wasn't the cause, apparently. It's at 2 Av just idling if I'm not mistaken, but it's almost 6PM so it'll be leaving soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abj23 Posted January 5 Share #8065 Posted January 5 2 hours ago, NBTA said: Supposedly it was 2 trains. I was there at 96 St I was headed downtown waiting for the train and meanwhile I noticed there was a train on the express track already leaving the station slowly and a NIS train on the local track skipping the stop but I didn’t put much mind into it. Like in 2 minutes my train arrived and it took a while for the train to leave and that’s when I heard a really loud noise like a bang I looked around and saw that a few people also heard the noise. The doors closed but the train just stood there for a while didn’t move, the hvac went off and then the doors opened again and it left the station slowly. Noticed a train waiting to enter the station, a train stuck at 79 St, and train at 72 St. In like an hour I guess, I get a notification from the citizen app that 2 trains collided. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkstar8983 Posted January 7 Share #8073 Posted January 7 29 minutes ago, nightmare402 said: R needs help You can’t force people to go into work when they don’t want to. The on the proposed 8 minute headway along with the every 8 minutes on the express handling the displaced commuters would have been sufficient, but these days many crews aren’t coming in for whichever reason. the to 71 Av cannot work for one reason…. CBTC!!! Even if the “midday local “ operation between QP and 71 Av is cancelled, you cannot run and s both to 71 Av because there aren’t enough R160s to cover both routes AND there aren’t enough crews. Running the to 71 Av and relay is LONGER than the normal route to Ditmars Blvd, and on top of that you need to staff the shuttle in Astoria, which means you’d have likelihood for crew shortages on two fronts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightmare402 Posted January 8 Share #8074 Posted January 8 There is no service at 57 St. There is no Metropolitan Av-bound service in Manhattan. trains are running via the line between 47-50 Sts-Rockefeller Ctr and Queens Plaza in both directions. The last stop on some 57 St-bound trains will be Chambers St (via line). Listen for train crew announcements to hear how your train will run. What's Happening? We are addressing a signal problem near 57 St. Expect delays in trains while they share tracks with rerouted trains. Travel Alternatives: For southbound local service along 6 Av, use the train. For service to/from 57 St, use the nearby 57 St-7 Av ( station) or the nearby 47-50 Sts-Rockefeller Ctr station.
