Eric B Posted May 20, 2013 Share #1076 Posted May 20, 2013 They were being nice. They could have shut down service past Myrtle and reroute to Broadway Junction and make everyone double back on the ... That's a good way of putting it. I was going to say I was surprised they set all that up, especially at that time of day, when the line is getting ready to shut down, not just for the night, but completely for the weekend G.O. (they usually only do that in weekend G.Os, but more recently, the tendency is just to replace it with buses). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allow additional travel time. What is going on today? It's very odd! EDIT: Possible on the terminating at 233rd, unless they ran them to Nereid Av, sent them into 239th Yard and back out again, I would imagine that they terminated in all sorts of locations though and not just at 238th!

itmaybeokay Posted May 23, 2013 Share #1091 Posted May 23, 2013 It wasn't on the alerts, but there was a block circuit problem at Wall St, all the 2 and 3 trains had to AK by, which caused a logjam. they were holding trains all the way back to 110/CPN. 'twas a mess out there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainmaster5 Posted May 24, 2013 Share #1092 Posted May 24, 2013 There's no service at Nereid Avenue. Depends on where the problem was located. The post said there was no service between Nereid and 241 St. If that was the case Nereid Ave would be the terminal and trains would relay on the yard leads. If there was no service at Nereid Avenue itself the northern terminal would have been posted as Gun Hill Road by the with no service north of that point. Carry on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No......the terminal would have been Essex. And where would these shuttle buses come from??? We don't have a million shuttle buses sitting around ready to go into service instantly for a sick customer delay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
