I can see alot of confusion at the 23rd Street and 50th Street 8th Avenue Stations on the weekend of the 16th (Not because of the rerouted Train).

Though, it probably doesn't help. It won't matter much for riders heading uptown as the is local through 125 Street. Downtown, not so much, especially with the terminating at 2 Avenue and the pretending to be an train.

The real confusing issue for the passengers (And it happened when it was done the Saturday on Halloween Weekend) was with no service at 23rd Street and 50th Street and the Train stopping at those two stations instead. The is express on 8th Avenue that weekend btw.

I'm aware of that. It doesn't help that the MTA communicates mainly in text. Maps are crucial when dealing with multiple service advisories, something the agency simply doesn't get or chooses to ignore.

Thats so true right there.

Some updates for the last weekend of this month:

 

via 63 St, no service South of 34 St-Herald Square

via 53 St (both directions), Brooklyn-bound via Cranberry

Split service at Bedford-Nostrand; No service south of Hoyt St

No service between Chambers and Broad Sts

No service between Essex and Broadway Junction; shuttle service only between Met and Myrtle-Wyckoff Avs

Brooklyn Bound via Bway Local and Montague tunnel

 

And for those who fancy unusual express runs:

South Ferry bound service runs express from Dyre to E 180 St (Yes, you read that right). Also, we have uptown and service going express from 3 Av-149 to E 180 St.

Note: The latter is not strange to most of us here, but I threw it in so if anyone is traveling along the Dyre line, they know what they'll be dealing with.

 

Again, these changes are for the weekend of September 30th.

They aren't. According to the description of the service change unless something changes at the last minute.

The via South Ferry Loop / Joralemon GO is back

The via South Ferry Loop / Joralemon GO is back

 

 

Wait, whaaat? How do trains access Wall St on the using the loop? Is there some changing ends thing?

[quadcorder]

Yes, they run around the old south ferry loops to wall street and change ends there.

[Spypenguin]

On which platform would the Brooklyn-bound train change ends at Wall Street?

The northbound, if I remember correctly. dj hammers has a video of it.

As usual, too much going on at one time. Plus I am an advocate for getting similar projects done

done on consecutive weekends. I don't like closing Sixth Ave. for example, a weekend or 2 at a time, then work elsewhere, then go back to Sixth Ave. Close it for consecutive weekends and get the work done.

 

 

The passengers are confused because completely different stuff happens each weekend.

 

And yes, taking both the C and E off the Eighth Ave. local at the same time and giving them the D instead is even more confusing to the public than closing down the station in that direction, period.

One puzzling thing about this segment is why it requires so much maintenance. It’s shut down pretty often according to my perception.

Shuttle Buses operate between 241 St and Gun Hill Rd, stopping at Nereid Av, 233, 225 and 219 Sts.

 

For service between Gun Hill Rd and 149 St-Grand Concourse, take the instead.

For service between 149 St-Grand Concourse and Grand Central-42 St, take the * instead.

 

• Transfer between trains and Shuttle buses at Gun Hill Rd.

It was the same case back in July when the was only running from 86th Street to Flatbush. They had enough R142 cars on the line and the didn't borrow anything that weekend.
