Looks like they'll be adding extra (7) Train Service during the Broadway Fastrack

 

(7) Additional service operates between Main St and Times Sq-42 St

Late Nights, 10 PM to 5 AM, Mon to to Fri, Nov 6 - 10

For 34 St-Hudson Yards, transfer at Times Sq-42 St.

Why not just run the extra service all the way?

Because why do anything properly when you can spend 98 cents on a dollar and provide the minimum. 

On a separate note, it’s really time to increase late night service to 4tph.

Hey guys, I'm sure you've seen the new service change guide redesign, which is very refreshing.

 

DO you think, on the weekday version at least, that they should maintain the title bar colors from the old design (Purple for NIghts, Yellow for Days, and Blue for All Times)? It's kinda hard to sift from a distance even with dependable spectacles like mine.

This is a weird one.
(C) Uptown trains skip 135 St - Take the (A)  instead  

Late Evening, 10 PM to 11:30 PM, Sunday, Oct 22

• Transfer between trains at 125 St.

(A) trains make the local stop at 135 St during this time. 

It's actually not. The during the (A) to 168th Street and the (C) to 145th Street G.O those last few (C) Trains would terminate on the Upper Level of 145th Street on the Express Tracks where they will be laid up until the Weekday put ins starts.

 

Oh another one.

 

(A) Trains run local in both directions between 168 St and Canal St

Late Evenings, beginning 10 PM, Mon to Thu, Oct 23 - 26

(A) Trains run local in both directions between Hoyt Schermerhorn and Euclid Av

Late Evenings, beginning 10 PM, Mon to Thu, Oct 23 - 26

• Please allow additional travel time.

 

It has to do with emergency trackwork.

Hey guys!

 

Instead of PDF files, which are quite tedious, I've decided to create a Google Calendar share that incorporates the changes. I adjust the time to accommodate the weirdest schedules. 

 

Check it out and add it to your calendar as an internet or secondary:

my calendar seems to have holes because of this. And unfortunately there's more. I didn't include the (R) line closure.

the calendar description is formatted so if you view it in Outlook, it has the formatting marks and embedded URLs.
