I seriously doubt that QBP can’t handle both the - the is scheduled to run 6 tph while the runs 10 tph. Assuming that the actually runs at 10 tph, you’ll have at most 16 tph to turn at QBP, which isn’t difficult to do (look at Crown Heights and 168th). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the turns at QBP they usually only have one available track in the station and use the interlocking by the tunnel mouth to switch tracks so yes it wouldn't be able to handle both the and simultaneously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt they do that this year? I remember the ended at Times Sq via Exp and the was local, still dont understand why they didnt send it to 96th St instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it’d mess up headways on the entire Manhattan IND and Brooklyn BMT worse than it does going to Continental now.

Lack of options at this point. Astoria is out due to the station rehab at Astoria Blvd. 96 Street is also out due to the M extension for the Canarsie work. They probably don't want to introduce a triple merge between the M, Q and R between Lexington Av-63 St and 57 Street. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted July 14, 2019 Share #2737 Posted July 14, 2019 Then you're just reducing service on Broadway. Even under the persistent 12-minute service levels, that's 15 trains per hour on Broadway under those conditions, ten on the local tracks and five on the express. Even if we remove the restriction, you'd have to boost N and Q service to meet the currently restricted levels overall. Also, you'd have to run the N via Whitehall, thus giving Sea Beach the extremely slow ride. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, I think it's just the MTA being cheap, the going to 179 would eliminate the obstacle of trains terminating infront of others (in the same 4 minute gap). So it would minimize the disruption. But it requires quite a number of extra crews and a few extra train sets so the MTA is content to grind it out the hard way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysterious2train Posted July 14, 2019 Share #2741 Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) 7 Av/Broadway Line will be completely suspended for two weekends in August due to interlocking work 96 St, with the rerouted up Central Park West to 145 St to substitute: http://www.mta.info/press-release/nyc-transit/essential-work-replace-switches-and-tracks-96-st-set-begin-late-friday Quote Essential Work to Replace Switches and Tracks at 96 St Set to Begin Late on Friday, July 19 Significant Weekend Service Changes Resulting from Work; Robust Alternate Service Plans Will Help Customers Commute While Work is Ongoing MTA New York City Transit is performing critically important switch replacement work at the 96 Street Interlocking in Manhattan starting this month and robust alternate service plans will help customers get around the system while that work takes place. Beginning late in the evening of July 19, New York City Transit will deploy a network of alternate subway service on weekends and free bus shuttle service where there is no subway service in order to help connect customers impacted by the reroutes and service outages, which begin next weekend and are expected to culminate before the end of next month. That alternate service will include the extension of trains to accommodate regular train customers, enhanced service on local bus lines, and extended train service up the West Side during the work’s final two weekends. Ultimately, the work will help improve long term service reliability and was chosen for completion during weekends in late July and August in order to impact the smallest amount of customers possible. The project will take place in phases, ultimately leading to the installation of entirely new switches between the northbound express and local tracks at the 96 Street Interlocking on the Seventh Avenue Line . The current switches were installed in 1990 and are nearing the end of their useful life. Workers will use the service outages to complete additional work as well in August up throughout numerous stations up and down the line, including installing new track, repairing existing track and track beds, cleaning drains, and fixing signals. .... PHASE 1: Beginning late on the evening of July 19 and beginning late in the evening of July 26, trains operate in two sections (South Ferry to 148 St on the ; 242 St to 137 St), trains operate normally, and trains will not run. PHASE 2: Beginning late on the evening of August 2 and beginning late in the evening of August 9, trains operate normally, trains will run between Flatbush Av and 96 St, and trains will not run. PHASE 3: Beginning late on the evening of August 16-19 and beginning late in the evening of August 26-29, there will be a full suspension of service at stations between Harlem and Downtown Brooklyn. .... Phase 3: Late on the evening of August 16-19 and late on the evening of August 23-26 Local and express tracks out of service operates between Van Cortlandt Park-242 St and 137 St No service between 137 St and South Ferry operates between Wakefield-241 St and Flatbush Av via Lexington Avenue express suspended No service at regular Manhattan stations and in Brooklyn at Clark St, Borough Hall, and Hoyt St Additional weekend service Subway extended to New Lots Av all weekend to replace operates between Eastchester-Dyre Av and E 180 St all weekend 42 St Shuttle operates between Grand Central and Times Square all weekend, including overnight operates on local track at night between 145 St and 59 St-Columbus Circle rerouted to 145 St via Central Park West local track on Saturday and Sunday, supplementing the on the west side of Manhattan Free weekend shuttle buses Bus #1 operates between 137 St and 110 St () ...

Around the Horn Posted July 15, 2019 Share #2746 Posted July 15, 2019 My question is: is there an to 145th Street program?

Abba Posted July 16, 2019 Share #2747 Posted July 16, 2019 So today I was taking a from Flatbush to Franklin. They are skipping President northbound. Today however we stopped twice.once at president not long maybe half minute. Then another minute right by Rogers junction. I’m wondering what the procedure will Be for future days.
