Abba Posted August 29, 2013 Share #1401 Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) According the MTA that incident is now over.However there seems to be a and a train stuck right before Borough Hall 2 min away both trains.Also it seems that Manhattan bound service was affected also.Probobaly it was more then your average mechanical problem. This also affected service northbound.Seems like there were no N/b trains for a while.Seems like the first train is on its way there now.

I got caught in the middle of this in a big way. I was on the 1824 ®omeo Whitehall, which got rerouted through the 63rd street tube. Only problem is - I'm pretty sure City Hall never told Queensboro Master Tower about us.... We sat there for 20+ minutes under Central Park on the 7av-63rd st connector. I could hear the T/O in the cab pretty emphatically calling control after a while, who responded pretty surprised that we were there: But assured us we'd have a lineup soon. (it was at least another 10 minutes). As I understand the delays at 59/lex were a track circuit problem, and maybe they weren't even looking at the 63rd st interlockings over at QBMT. Actually that's an interesting point, who does have control over the interlocking between the IND and BMT on the 63rd st line? I presume it's Queensboro Master. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted September 4, 2013 Share #1409 Posted September 4, 2013 Does it really pay to post advisories of sick customers? They usually are resolved within 10 if not 5 min Yes, I remember someone got sick on a Rockaway Park bound at High Street during the PM rush, the delay must have at least 15 minutes... man that platform was JAMMED at Jay Street, luckily I had to get off there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itmaybeokay Posted September 5, 2013 Share #1410 Posted September 5, 2013 Does it really pay to post advisories of sick customers? They usually are resolved within 10 if not 5 min Well, firstly, more information is better. A 5 minute delay during rush hour is enough to make some lines so crowded that a customer who could take a different line might want to do so. Also, remember that if trains get very crowded, dwell time goes up and the delays can easily stack to double or triple the original hold up. Customers might want to take the local instead of waiting for a delayed express, etc etc. Secondly, it's hard for them to anticipate how long the delay will be. Sometimes all it takes is a nearby TSS to escort the customer off the train, and delays are limited to a few minutes. Other times, the train may have to stop and stay until paramedics arrive, which can take longer. I've heard both scenarios unfold on my scanner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lance Posted September 13, 2013 Share #1423 Posted September 13, 2013 E trains are probably being sent up Sixth Avenue to avoid any potential backups on Eighth Avenue. The M would be knocked off Sixth Avenue so as not to clog up the local tracks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulrivera Posted September 13, 2013 Share #1425 Posted September 13, 2013 The reroute possibilities are endless since it was the tail end of rush hour. It's not as simple as short turning and relays at 9am.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
