Unplanned Subway Service Changes


Guest lance25

Recommended Posts

Whatever happened at DeKalb last night, passengers were standing facing the southbound B/Q tracks and also the R tracks as if nothing happened around 9:30pm, so any ceiling collapse may not have been obvious to the average passenger.

 

It caused some congestion especially pulling into Atlantic Ave on the N/D platform, but what really screwed up the N/Q/R lines last night was some flagging/track work at Prince St southbound at that time.  The MTA should make announcements online & in stations (such as Times Square, Union Square) that they're causing big delays at Prince St with unexpected track work, so that passengers can take other trains to Bklyn instead.

How you stop at 4th ave when it not an express stop? I guess the person didn't have coffee yet

Maybe because the switches for the local track are after 4th avenue?

I was caught in the massive f**k-up at around 7:20am. (N) trains crawled through the 4 Avenue tunnel while (R) trains breezed by. I ended up taking the overcrowded and equally-slow (5) train to Fulton Street where I got on the (J). There was an (M) already terminated at Chambers Street by 8:10.

Seems like the (B) is fine, they just took it off the service changes.

 

 

maybe there was a (Q) train got stuck behind this mess and the (B) couldn't get thru. they must made that 1 (Q) to go to 6th ave to clear track for the (B) who know what happen especially when you assume.

 

Yeah, boy was I wrong. Right after I posted that and got on the (B) ; we were held between Kings Highway and Newkirk Plaza around Avenue J for at least 15 minutes. We then were held between Prospect and Church for another 10 minutes. *(Initially caught up to the (Q) that I was originally on at Church. But when we were held again, I didn't see the (Q) get to Parkside.) When we got to Prospect, conductor suggests we take the (S) to the (2)(3)(4)(5) or (A)(C) and next thing you know, the (B) became a ghost town. I've never seen the (S) so packed in my life! I literally didn't have to hold on to anything.

That's not a good idea considering the fact that the conductor of a 600' train told everyone to cram on a 150' train...

So there was a train with mechanical problems at 42nd street on the downtown (A), which I saw when I was going to school, and the (A) was running local.

 

Also heard something about the (4)(5) running local b/w 125th and 42nd st and some (5)s running via the (2), but it seemed to be clear a few minutes later.

It was pretty bad, my friend was on a (B) ahead of mine and was stuck after Church Avenue.

Like I said, he suggested everyone to use the (S) not literally EVERYONE get on the one sitting across the platform. None the less, it was one packed (S) and at Botanic Garden platform was jammed.
