Southbound f.png trains are via e.png line from Queens Plaza to 5 Av

Southbound r.png trains via express from Jackson Hts-Roosevelt Av to Queens Plaza.

Southbound m.png trains are not running between Bway-Lafayette St and Forest Hills-71 Av.

Now, per the advisory:

 

-Northbound (R) turns TSQ

-Northbound (E) turns Queens Plz (I think they mean Queensbridge)

-Some northbound (F) turns W4 or 34

-Southbound (E) turns Forest Hills

-No southbound (F) north of Forest Hills

 

What a mess!!!

 

From the earlier post, "Southbound (F) trains are via (E) line from Queens Plaza to 5 Av" How is that possible with the GO?!

It's a real CF the buses are being sent to 74th and the driver is lost. Missed a chance to transfer because the driver wasn't using the p.a (or shouting) we've doubled back to Queensbridge. The announcement about assaulting a bus driver being a felony is playing with conspicuous frequency.

We ran by the stations on the bus, there seemed to be construction. Perhaps they are running but not stopping at the stations which are closed. What's the cause of the disruption anyway the (F) conductor kept mumbling signal problems into the p.a (the same conductor I've been stuck with before oddly).

Some northbound f.png train service terminate at W 4 St- Washington Sq and 34 St- Herald Sq.

Southbound e.pngf.png and r.png trains service terminate at Forest Hills-71 Av.

There is no southbound f.png train service between Jamaica- 179 St to Forest Hills- 71 Av.

Customers are advised to use the e.png train making corresponding stops from Forest Hills- 71 Av to Briarwood- Van Wyck Blvd.

Allow additional travel time.

Last I saw everyone piled off the (7) at Roosevelt. I elected to stay on and bus it to Jamaica from Main.

 

At least 3 F trains turned at Queensbridge. Must be one hell of a signal problem (derailment? ). When I got on the (F) at 6th Ave all trains were running on the express track. This is one hell of a sunday.

How can southbound (R) trains terminate at 7 71st when there is no inbound service on the (R) north of 71st?

Also, FYI, the Q17 is the bus that runs between Jamaica/179th Street (F) and Main Street (7)<7>.

The (E) and (F) were still running express on my way home, thank goodness  :P . I guess they chose to leave the heavier used routes alone for a little bit longer. It would have caused too much congestion. Why do they run the trains local anyway, is it so they can use the express tracks to move equipment around?

To store trains underground rather than in yards.
