The MTA also probably thinks that since the is doing the Astoria Express southbound, that time change on 4 Av will be net neutral. Therefore, ZERO extra trains needed. just changing the following switching operations: 1. Add switch operations at 59 St 2. Lock in the 36 St switch to have only West End service connecting to 4 Av Express during the daytime and evening 3. DeKalb Av Interlocking locked so that all 4 Av Express / DeKalb Av bypass operations connect to Manhattan Bridge North and all "Brighton Local / DeKalb Av Bridge tracks" connecting to Manhattan Bridge South. 4. Atlantic Av-Barclays Center to DeKalb Av now requires a switch operation to allow the to access the Manhattan Bridge and merge onto the track 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkstar8983 Posted January 15, 2022 Share #3268 Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) Several planned weekend GOs have been cancelled likely due to worker shortages: - The was supposed to be suspended between Myrtle Wyckoff Avs and 8 Av, with the running to 96 St in its place. Signs were all over the place at train platforms. - the train was supposed to run via 6 Av/53 St from DeKalb Av to Queens Plaza, and the was supposed to be suspended between Queensboro Plaza and Times Square-42 St, running via Lower Manhattan, and the making an extra stop at 49 St. I think the only GOs left for the weekend were the A Division changes, including switch of the and (ironically the - well really the via Lexington - is running every 8 minutes, when it’s usually the other way around. The 7 Av service is supposed to have an express every 8 minutes, despite it going to Dyre Av), and the signal modernization related work on the 8 Av and Queens Blvd corridors it is a bit frustrating considering there was a broken rail in the 60 St tunnel this week, which should have left 60 St changes on the schedule.
