If it wasn't stopping at South Ferry, it would say to/from Rector Street like they did in the past G.Os (Both Late Nights and Weekends)

A (D) outage during the same weekend as the first (2)(3) outage... always wonderful to see these double outages between Brooklyn and Manhattan.

Complaint sent to customer service:

 

No valid excuses for weekend #2 train delays.

 

It took the Sunday 5:06pm  #2 train from Flatbush 54 minutes to reach 34th Street/Penn Station. That is a 16 minute delay.  

Just 5 minutes of that is for running local in Manhattan.
The other 11 minutes is due to incompetence.
The Trip Planner data is a fantasy and does not account for even the 5 minutes.

 

Equipment arrived Flatbush Avenue 1 minute after it was due to depart, and departed 3 minutes late. It then crept most of the way.

YOU ARE TOO ADD TRAIN SETS TO #2 OPERATION to ensure on-time departures. With all the route truncations on the #1 and # 3, the only excuse you people have is that you are too cheap.

As a follow-up, (2) trains are not stopping at South Ferry. I'd just like to see Transit trust their operators and conductors once and let the trains run in service to South Ferry. I'm not surprised though as (2) trains will not stop at 145 St-Lenox Av either.

Unfortunately, one C/R forgets that only the front five open at S/F or 145 and there are big problems.  Only way to avoid it is have the front half of the (2) followed by the rear half stop inside those stations.

They don't even let (1) trains stop at 145/Lenox when they have to reroute the 1 trains to 148th Street..

The overnight (5) will also go to Bowling Green that weekend.

 

This G.O. is one of the ones I like though:

D.png No trains between 59 St-Columbus Circle and Stillwell Av 

F.png N.png trains and shuttle_bus.png free shuttle buses provide alternate service 

Weekend, 11:30 PM Fri to 5 AM Mon, Sep 16 - 19 

 

D.png service operates between 205 St and 59 St-Columbus Circle

and express via the A.png to/from Chambers St, the last stop.

Wouldn't it make more sense for the weekend to have the (D) run local since it's going to Chambers (at least south of 59th), unless it's going to terminate on the (A) platform?
