Unplanned Subway Service Changes

[alekr]

Due to signal problems at Whitehall Street-South Ferry, some southbound trains are running on the line from Canal Street to DeKalb Av.

 

Allow additional travel time.

 

The timing is perfect since they going be doing Broadway fastrack very soon.

Due to a police investigation at Av H,  trains are running via the  line from Coney Island-Stillwell Av to DeKalb Av in both directions and there is no  train in both directions between Brighton Beach and Broadway-Lafayette St.

Allow additional travel time.

Beat me to it, luckily class was cancelled for me today and I stayed home..I would of been in this mess. Friend says definitely someone jumped onto tracks but not sure if struck or not.

[itmaybeokay]

No, not a CTT measure, but a 12-9 at Nassau St. Find it strange though that the is being rerouted down the though....

 

If northbound G trains are terminating at Bedford-Nostrand, there would be no trains turning at Court Sq to provide southbound service. Diverting a couple F trains through crosstown allowed them to provide some southbound service to the line north of Bed-Nostrand, which I think would otherwise be impossible.

train went express from 103 (yes one-zero-three) to 137 this morning. Since most passengers at about 10 am are headed to 116, the train became empty and the platforms became dangerously overloaded.

 

This is the second time in as many weeks I've seen a 1 go express north of 96 street, after having never seen that in over a year of daily ridership.

 

It strikes me as a very bad idea to skip 116 at a time in the morning when most riders are headed to Columbia. All you're doing is trading one crush loaded, delayed train for another crush loaded, delayed train, annoying a bunch of customers, and creating dangerous platforms. Whomever the dispatcher who came up with this idea is needs a reality check.

Yeah, and if people don't listen to the announcements, they'll have to either pay to get back, or take the bus to go back. Remember, there's no crossover at 137th Street.

Maybe the first train was running so late that there were a few trains bunched up behind it. In a case like this the procedure was to skip the first train from 103-137-168-Dyckman and then see how much time the train made up. If necessary the train might continue making limited stops to the terminal so there wouldn't be a gap in scheduled southbound service from 242nd St. There's a greater need for s/b service at that time of the day. This is all speculation of course but this event falls under what we used to call "dispatching 101". It inconveniences the lesser amount of people in the long run. Carry on.

Due to a police investigation at Rockaway Parkway, Canarsie bound trains are turning at Broadway Junction, Livonia Avenue, and E 105 Street Stations.

 

Please expect delays on train service in b/d.

Well, I'm not sure if it's cleared up by now, but due to a 12-9 at the Uptown Platform of the Columbus Circle station, and trains are running express from Times Square to 96th Street. The 12-9 happened at around 12:45am.

There was a police investigation at Herald Sq early this morning. It pushed everything off 6th Avenue for a short period of time.

Due to an ongoing police investigation at 46 St, the following service changes are in effect:

 

 

Northbound  trains are running on the local track from Queens Plaza to Roosevelt Av-Jackson Heights.

 

 

Forest Hills-bound  trains are running express from Queens Plaza to Roosevelt Av-Jackson Heights.

 

 

Allow additional travel time.

 

 

Is this related to the unfortunate incident earlier this morning, or has their been something new? Also, curious that they're only diverting one of the trains. 

[Abba]

It doesn't make sense that one is local and the other is expres

It does make sense because northbound  trains are on the same QB express track like the coming from 53rd. Switching the northbound  onto the express track after Queens Plaza would cause congestion as you'll be having all  - four services on one track.

When they first started doing that, actually they did it the other way around, and crossed the and over each other, so the could be express and the local!

And yes, this was due to the investigation of the area around the incident.

I suppose the remaining question is what is the sense in keeping any service on the line at all if there are workers and or police on the track. 

The N/B runs only every 10 minutes during the pre-rush late afternoon, and I assume that perhaps giving the investigators or whomever was around there 10 minute intervals of uninterrupted work was enough. If the M were left in service they'd only have work intervals between 4-6 minutes.

Does anyone know what happened with the this morning? Jamaica was crazy because they stopped all of the services out of Jamaica-179th...
