Around the Horn Posted September 12, 2016 Share #1001 Posted September 12, 2016 Wouldn't it make more sense for the weekend to have the run local since it's going to Chambers (at least south of 59th), unless it's going to terminate on the platform? They terminate on the platform 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted September 12, 2016 Share #1002 Posted September 12, 2016 Transit usually times this service change with the periodic A,C via Rutgers one. That way, the Chambers St platform is free to turn the D trains without getting in the way of through service. Otherwise, the D will terminate at World Trade Center or simply run split service operations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around the Horn Posted September 12, 2016 Share #1005 Posted September 12, 2016 It's a combination of a lot of service changes in one. They schedule it when the and all have service changes. I'd guess that work is being done at 7 Av-53 Street, in Cranberry and 53 Street tubes and on Sea Beach. The end result is this: 8th Avenue local: 8th Avenue express: West End: Sea Beach: shuttle buses 6 Avenue: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union Tpke Posted September 16, 2016 Share #1006 Posted September 16, 2016 The Stations Were Closed for Renewal Work Since April September 16th, 2016 As renewal projects at the Saratoga Av and Pennsylvania Av 3 line stations near completion, MTA New York City Transit will reopen the stations at 5:00 a.m. Monday, September 19. The two stations were closed for renewal work on April 11, 2016 as part of an $88 million capital project to rehabilitate seven elevated stations along the 3 line on the New Lots Av Branch. During the closures, customers were able to take advantage of free shuttle bus service. Improvements at both stations include the installation of brand new windscreens, platform lighting, benches, trash receptacles, guard rails and ADA tactile warning strips on the platforms. Both stations were painted and the fare control areas were reconfigured to enable better customer flow. Structural renovations include the installation of new columns, platform rubbing boards, and new mezzanine floors. While service at these stations will be restored, there is still work to be completed, including the installation of new windows, and a new exterior façade to the mezzanine. “Governor Cuomo’s leadership has helped provide funding for the MTA’s Capital Program, which helps fuel our station renewal program, in Brooklyn and throughout our system,” said NYC Transit President Veronique “Ronnie” Hakim. “The completion of work at Saratoga Av and Pennsylvania Av and planned work at the other stations will provide a welcoming atmosphere for our customers bringing seven stations that originally opened in the 1920’s to a state of good repair.” The construction contracts awarded to EE Cruz Company Inc. call for station renewals at Sutter Av-Rutland Rd, Saratoga Av, Rockaway Av, Junius St, Pennsylvania Av and Van Siclen Av, as well as component repairs at New Lots Av. Renewal work was previously completed at Rockaway Av and Van Siclen Av in March 2016. The next two stations scheduled to close for renewal along the New Lots Branch are Sutter Av-Rutland Rd and Junius St. Work is tentatively scheduled to begin at these two stations on October 3, 2016 for approximately five months, until Spring 2017. During this period, 3 trains and late night 4 trains will bypass Sutter Av-Rutland Rd and Junius St in both directions. Similar to the previous temporary station closures during this project, New York City Transit will operate free shuttles buses to and from the Sutter Av-Rutland Rd and Junius St stations. The shuttle bus for Sutter Av-Rutland Rd will operate to and from the Crown Heights-Utica Av 34 station and the bus for Junius St will operate to and from the Rockaway Av 3 station. Service notices will be posted in all stations prior to the commencement of work, and announcements will be made on trains.

In addition to the rush hour change for the , the weekend will only run between 96 St and Flatbush Av, making local stops north of Times Square. The will replace the in the Bronx while shuttle buses replace the Dyre Avenue line, as usual. Also, the 42nd Street shuttle will run 24/7 Friday to Monday. Imagine if you're a Train Operator normally on the overnight and you're told to work the Shuttle instead . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CenSin Posted October 8, 2016 Share #1018 Posted October 8, 2016 Not that this is major, but I never noticed a g.o. that involves a stop at 74 St. Well, they have the means to do it, so I guess it makes sense to do so. It’s one of the few places where a local station can function as an express stop—another being Kings Highway on the Sea Beach Line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
