Planned Subway Service Changes


Recommended Posts

They'd have to bring in the 5 to run down 7th Ave. This way, 7th Ave still has direct Manhattan-Brooklyn service and riders don't have to transfer to other lines.

So let me get this straight...

 

After Chambers St, its going via the (1) to the SF loops (skipping Rector & South Ferry in the process), then using the loop tracks to head up past Bowling Green (I'm assuming its skipping it going uptown), then stop at Wall St on either platform.

 

...Then the T/O would change ends and head back downtown towards Bowling Green again, then down to Brooklyn.

 

This shit i have to see for myself.

They've done this before.

It could be anything: track work, signal work, etc. Just because we don't see anything happening doesn't mean there isn't work being performed.

 

Lol, I know what you're getting at with this, but I mean, if there are no visible workers on the track, it's not like there are invisible signal fairies getting to work...

They've done this before.

 

But not in many years, as far as I know.

 

CBTC signal work on the express tracks. Same reason for most GOs involving Queens Blvd, 53 and 63 St these days.

 

Not only has CBTC not been awarded on QBL yet, the CBTC spec hasn't even been defined yet.

 

The QBL work is to modernize three interlockings - a prerequisite for CBTC, but not CBTC itself.

 

Flushing is where the actual CBTC work is taking place these days.

This (Q) GO could be messy, especially if they don't add an express bus. A shuttle from Church (Q) to Church (2) isn't that long...

 

Also, I've never seen them put up major GO's this early. The minor ones usually come up first, while the FASTRACK's and stuff that requires a lot of typing and layout usually isn't put up until 2 weeks beforehand.

On this weeks late night change  (2) are rerouted to the  (4) at Wall street. I looked at the track map and there is no connection between these stations how is it possible?

By reversing direction at Wall St. Trains don't run frequently in the late night hours.

The (2) will run non-stop to Wall Street like this:

1) Switches from the express track to the local (1) track before Chambers Streets,

2) Stops at Chambers Street and then runs to South Ferry, skipping every stop along the way,

3) Switches to the Lexington Avenue track after South Ferry,

4) Runs uptown via the NB Lexington track (still non-stop from Chambers)

5) Stops at Wall Street and reverses direction, unto the SB Lexington Avenue track (there's a crossover between Bowling Green and Wall Street), and into Brooklyn.

 

I recall the flyers saying the (2) will run non-stop between Chambers and Wall Street.

I actually caught it earlier...

 

It runs local in Manhattan (all stops are announced and everything), although the sign says 7 Av express...
