j express Posted October 9, 2016 Share #1026 Posted October 9, 2016 I wont be surprised if they use a layup on the that weekend. Since, I remember seeing a R68A on the northern during that G.O. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel The Cool Posted October 9, 2016 Share #1027 Posted October 9, 2016 I wont be surprised if they use a layup on the that weekend. Since, I remember seeing a R68A on the northern during that G.O. That probably won't happen because it's not running in two sections. They didn't even use any Train layups when it went to Chambers Street except for that one Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RestrictOnTheHanger Posted October 9, 2016 Share #1028 Posted October 9, 2016 (edited) Select Jamaica-bound trains skip 75 Av, Briarwood, Sutphin Blvd and terminate at Parsons Blvd Rush Hours, 6 AM to 10 AM and 4 PM to 8 PM, Mon to Fri, Oct 17 - Nov 18 For service to these stations, 169 St and 179 St, transfer to a Jamaica-bound at 71 Av, Union Tpke, or Parsons Blvd. • Please allow additional travel time. They apparently like to keep full service at 74 Street unless otherwise impossible to maintain a full transfer between the Flushing and Queens Blvd lines, especially with the running via 63rd Street.They reubilt the interlocking for that purpose, glad to see it being put to use That is just odd...There's no via Rutgers that weekend, so 2 Ave is probably a better terminal this time rather than Chambers.

D to Burke Avenue Posted October 22, 2016 Share #1029 Posted October 22, 2016 Why oh why can't the go to Bowling Green instead of Brooklyn Bridge this weekend? Does it have to do South Ferry since the isn't running there either?? I'm only asking because many passengers can transfer at Fulton Street instead of taking the at BB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The loop probably isn't available. At least when the runs to Brooklyn Bridge it's making all local stops so you can also transfer to the and at Bleecker St, and the at Canal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel The Cool Posted October 25, 2016 Share #1037 Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) Apparently the is running via 6th Avenue/63rd Street northbound from West 4th Street this Saturday due to another G.O stating that passengers must use the Train instead for 23rd Street and 50th Street. I can see a whole bunch of confuse passengers this weekend. Edited October 25, 2016 by Daniel The Cool 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around the Horn Posted October 26, 2016 Share #1039 Posted October 26, 2016 To add insult to injury, the MTA decided the perfect time to do a FASTRACK closure on the in Manhattan, was the week of the Halloween parade. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from Maspeth Posted October 26, 2016 Share #1040 Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) Just too many confusing GO's this weekend. It will be a heavy riding one due to many Halloween parties and events going on. NYCT had to opportunity to keep it simple but refused to. Why? The arrogance by the suits to get the work done by the end of the year, plus with the NYC Marathon next Sunday (and start of the new schedule of jobs for the t/o's and c/r's) there will be virtually none next Sunday, except the 24/7 long term ones. They can easily do the more extensive and confusing (from a passenger standpoint ones) on subsequent weeks leading up to Thanksgiving.

They can easily do the more extensive and confusing (from a passenger standpoint ones) on subsequent weeks leading up to Thanksgiving. The problem is (besides it being the start of the new pick) is the likelihood NYC Marathon officials insisted on minimal GO's (if any at all) the day of the marathon as many tourists are in town for that. That takes preference over Halloween parties that don't involve nearly as many tourists. If the Breeders' Cup has been at Belmont Park this weekend, THEN I would agree the GO's should have been cut back this weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulrivera Posted November 1, 2016 Share #1047 Posted November 1, 2016 What the hell is the point of that? I don't know. And they took it down from the website, which is good because the advisory needs some proofreading anyway. Look what's coming back tho: Trains run every 20 minutes between Dyre Av and Bowling Green Weekend, Saturday, Nov 26 Not a huge problem unless you're travelling within Lexington. The beefed up weekend service should be up and running by then, and those trains will be running out of Dyre that weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted November 1, 2016 Share #1049 Posted November 1, 2016 What the hell is the point of that? Possibly work in the Montague tunnels. With Whitehall St out as a terminal, Atlantic becomes the next viable turning point. However with the track setup at Atlantic Av, trains cannot turn around on the local tracks, hence the bidirectional express run. I don't know.
