NX Express Posted May 2, 2012 Share #126 Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) It's probably just a train or two that's terminating there, if they in fact do mean Queens Plaza. Can't imagine that they would mess the up that badly. Edited May 2, 2012 by NX Express 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine that they would mess the up that badly. The is 15 tph, the is about 10. The is close by, north of the station. It could mess things up a lot... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbr40 Posted May 3, 2012 Share #128 Posted May 3, 2012 That what i was thinking. I think they probably meant Queensboro. there a switch track on the hill between the tunnel and the station. Or they did the long version by going to express track on the Astoria line then park it there and motorman had to walk to the other end to ge the train back to Manhattan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please expect delays on the and trains at this time. So that explains why I saw an going to Queensboro Plaza instead of Ditmars when I waited for the Brooklyn bound . I thought it was a GO but it was just an unplanned service change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamousNYLover Posted May 30, 2012 Share #138 Posted May 30, 2012 Sometimes . When I was at Queensboro Plaza, came as express on all cars, but after leaving Queensboro Plaza, stayed on local track, which was painful with crowds getting on local. When I check my camera, rest of subway car was LOCAL sign. At 61st St-Woodside, when our train arrived, Times Sq-bound train's rear car was also set up as . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton Express Posted May 31, 2012 Share #140 Posted May 31, 2012 I know they can't run Viaduct Express, but expect some to run Culver Express. When they rerouted the to Kings Hwy/Avenue X, some trains ran Culver Express, so probably some trains will run Culver Express. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interested Rider Posted June 1, 2012 Share #141 Posted June 1, 2012 There were signal problems on the Manhattan Bridge Brooklyn side and it started a lot earlier as i was onboard a southbound B train that left Grand Street at 5:25 PM and it started and stop right after we left Grand Street. There were two D trains in front of our train as I waited at 47th - 50th Streets tonight. We stopped for five minutes went a few feet and stopped again for another few minutes and went a few feet again. All we were told was that it was signal problems. We finally reached DeKalb Avenue at about 6 PM as once we got off the bridge, the train started moving. If I have a complaint it is why did they send us on the bridge in the first place knowing that there were signal problems. That was the second problem of my trip from Queens tonight as i boarded a southbound F train marked Kings Highway at 4 PM at 169th Street and when we reached Roosevelt Avenue, the conductor announced that we would not be going via the 63rd Street Tunnel but stopping at Queens Plaza. When we reached there, the doors were kept closed for a few minutes and then finally the train became a G train. I could only blame myself for not staying on that train as i had to go beyond Kings Highway and would have saved myself a lot of grief 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interested Rider Posted June 13, 2012 Share #148 Posted June 13, 2012 I filed a complaint about the problem that i encountered on southbound B train going over the Manhattan Bridge on May 31, 2012 at 5:25 PM and I received a response that I am sharing with the members. The quotations used here are from that response. "As you (I) indicated on May 31, 2012 southbound B and D line service experienced delays south of the Grand Street Station beginning at 4:58 PM. Several management strategies were implemented until regular service resumed at 6:08 PM." "In response to your comments, we have forwarded your e-mail to.....for review" The response that I received raises some interesting points since the problem began at 4:58 PM, then why was the B train allowed to leave Grand street at 5:25 PM or approximately 30 minutes after the problem occurred? If the problem occurred at 4:58 PM (according to the response) then this raises other issues as to why were the trains not rerouted to terminate at 2nd Avenue or rerouted via the F Line to Coney Island or held at the West 4th Street, Broadway - Lafayette Street or Grand Street Stations? Did someone in management finally realize at 5:30 PM, the serverity of the delay and the trains on the Manhattan Bridge had passengers and crew on board with no timetable as to when they would reach Dekalb Avenue that B and D Line service was finally rerouted away from the Manhattan Bridge?" What I find totally amusing is the phrase "several management strategies were implemented" which leaves me scratching my head in total bewiderment. Did this mean that there was no one around at that time that could make a rational decision to reroute the trains 10 -15 minutes into the delay or it was like nobody cared about the passengers and the crew but just cared about the schedule? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
