N6 Limited Posted July 30, 2014 Share #2177 Posted July 30, 2014 What's the point of sending trains via the ? There were probably back-ups on 6th Ave so sending some via the would help them clear up I suppose. Once on 8th Ave some trains could be sent express so that the local isn't backed up at Canal St 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N6 Limited Posted August 1, 2014 Share #2180 Posted August 1, 2014 Delays Posted: 07/31/2014 10:06PM Due to signal problems at Forest Hills-71 Av, northbound and trains are running with delays. Allow additional travel time. ________________________________________________ This actually started closer to 7:45pm. The local trains were fine but the express was horrible. The conductor suggested taking a local at Roosevelt, and many did. We actually caught up to the that was in front of the I was on. So why don't they just send the and local and the and express since there are less trains and there would be less delays for those lines? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N6 Limited Posted August 1, 2014 Share #2182 Posted August 1, 2014 Naa that would be very confusing.its a good idea though Well and would make all normal stops without being delayed. Tell riders to use the and which are going local because of signal delays and send the and express and tell them there are heavy delays on the express tracks. You had express trains poking along Queens Blvd with a Local whizzing by every few mins, I think they can deal with a few confused riders than a bunch of people trapped between stations getting pissed especially when most have to get on a bus when they get to their stations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some northbound trains terminate at 57 St-7 Av. Allow additional travel time. This was a [insert string of expletives]. I was trying to get home from Brooklyn - R train was fine NB until just shy of queens plaza. It then took 35 minutes to get to 36 street at which point I said f-this I'll walk. I was in the head car and walked to the front to see what was going on - I heard rail control get on the radio and tell c/R's to tell customers to call and complain - then the c/r came on and told us to call and complain - and gave the number. I know maintenance has to be done but geez if it's going to get that bad just tell me to take the bus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know maintenance has to be done but geez if it's going to get that bad just tell me to take the bus. Exactly this is my point about customer service. "Allow additional travel time" doesn't begin to tell the real situation. It's one thing when there is "train traffic" or "trains are running local" , it's another thing when there are EXTREME DELAYS and WORKERS ON THE TRACKS. One day it took 2 and a half hours (including the bus)to get home because of trackwork. If I took the instead I would have gotten home probably an hour or more earlier including walking to the bus terminal from Jamaica Center and the bus ride. Its nice that they want to keep service going but if you're going to get trapped for who knows how long , then just shut the line down and get the trackwork done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollOver Posted August 12, 2014 Share #2196 Posted August 12, 2014 Until we get more information, let me assume that if the problem was on the local or center track (whichever direction it was), the should have been sent express then. That way, riders went still have through service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'd like to believe is that what's posted on the website is not indicative of exactly what's going on. There may have in fact been M trains running to 2 Av, but it's posted as though service is completely suspended on the M so riders aren't looking for M trains. They'll hop on the R, F and J for alternate service, rather than piling on to the probably very delayed M train that pulls into the station. Of course, I'm probably wrong, so don't quote me on this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
