Ask and you shall receive. Next weekend, the is running express from Parsons Blvd all the way to 59 st/4 Ave via bridge, except for a stop at 49 st.

Is the also running express then? Otherwise, it’d be an odd arrangement where the local is promoted to an express over an “express.”

Yes the is also running Express.

[darkstar8983]

the service change involving the and trains in Astoria could be caused by either

 

1- part of the construction seen at 36 Av

2- part of the weekend switch installation at Ditmars Blvd. Maybe the switch that allows northbound trains to switch to the southbound local track entering Ditmars Blvd (to track 1) will be locked in that all trains coming in from the local track have to continue straight to Ditmars Blvd and enter track 2, before pulling out. So trains will pull in on track 2 and trains will enter on track 1, hence trains being the secondary Astoria service, will be doing the station skipping.

I've got a new PDF for the cycle between August 18th-24th, 2017 on OneDrive:

Some service updates have strayed columns to accommodate the increasing numbers of updates per line. Some may have changes that apply to multiple lines. Look for the Also (*) for those kinds of details.

This morning, I had a weird commute to Manhattan, first trains were running to Jamaica 179 Street yet people still got off at Forest Hills. Then at Forest Hills, I got on an train that went via 53 St/8 Av. Once I got off at 42 Street, the was on the express track. I was like "What the heck is going on, is this what I get for not checking the weekender???" But I gotta say, this was a very interesting service change, but Manhattan bound trains should run to 63 Street since they're running express this weekend

I don't include all long term service changes in my PDF. I think you're talking about the going to C/I via 63rd but 179th via 53rd. 

That is confusing, and I tried to add more detail to that section with a spillover box.

 

I should probably do that.

to Gun Hill....I know where I will be soon.

[R42N]

So, another great day of riding the Astoria Line during midday hours. Seriously, it was a good commute, only, I have one comment. The train was fast, worked well, and after I missed one at Queensboro, there was another one in 6 minutes, and it came with some seats available, per usual.

 

However, I couldn't help but notice the lack of any construction on the entire Astoria Line. The supposed reason why (W)'s aren't running up here. Neither direction was skipping any stops, and service was fast and efficent.

 

When I got out at Ditmars, I asked the T/O why (W)'s weren't running up here, and he laughed and said "Maybe to help the in Manhattan"

 

So, I'm curious, is the MTA pulling a Queens Blvd and diverting midday service just to help out the loads in the Upper Easr Side? I think the T/O was mainly joking, but loads were fine, and no one is complaining on the SAS....

There was a switch problem at Ditmars most of the day up until about 4pm. At one point there was no service.

 

Wednesday through Friday has the express from Queensboro to Ditmars and via 2nd Ave
