The 5 is running to/from Wakefield-Flatbush while the 2 is running to/from Dyre-SF. People living on the Dyre branch would've had to transfer regardless if they wanted access to Brooklyn on weekends. Also, the amount of people traveling to/from Brooklyn to the Bronx via subway is more than likely miniscule compared to the amount of people who need acess to Manhattan. 

The needs of the many > the needs of the few. The work must be done.

This affects people going to Manhattan as well,  more crowded  to an even more crowded  making ALL stops, even worse if you are going to lower Manhattan.

@Lawrence St How many people take that trip though?

Well I'm one of the people affected by this closure because my work is in Downtown Brooklyn, and I've seen many more commuters during these hours be pissed off that this work is happening WHILE the Clark St tube is shut down, which brings me back to my earlier point:

 

Don't post G.Os that directly affect the travel alternatives of another long term G.O, or a G.O that makes a commute even more tedious.

Your claims are all just baseless lol. You're not the only one affected by weekend disruptions in the subway. Hence the term "plan ahead".

My claims are baseless? Explain to me why I saw hundreds of commuters at Canal St who wanted to take the  couldn't because the wasn't running in Manhattan, and the service poster said to take the uptown  or . News flash: There was another poster at Canal St that said uptown  and  trains were running express. Whoever planned these service changes dosen't look to see if it affects the travel alternative of a another G.O.

At Broad street trains relay to go back into Queens, today they are turning in Broad St station most likely because there are snowbirds layed up in the relay tracks.

This doesn't make any sense, Why run a Dyre shuttle (in mostly one direction at a time) for a few hours anyway, just keep the  running completely on Friday evening.

Q trains will operate in two sections during the weekend of FEB 10-11.

Between 96 St and Atlantic Ave Barclays Center, and via the d line to Stillwell AVE

Between Prospect park and Stillwell AVE

[RestrictOnTheHanger]

Smart to piggyback the GOs like that. 

The to 2 Ave and to WTC seems weird at first, but the s/b 8 Ave local track is out and the is via 6 ave that weekend, hence that setup.

If it’s the weekend, there’s a good chance, but since it’s only during the weeknight, they’ll probably just use whatever R142s are still in service.

Whoops, didn't even realized that was for nights. Then the  will most definitely just use its R142s.

IDK how I feel about two different  trains showing up at Coney Island going to different locations. I think they could have had the  from from 96-2 to Coney Island via Broadway and West End, but then again, you would have another  on 8th Avenue. Lesser of two evils I suppose.

And one reason I would seriously consider long-term rebuilding the Franklin shuttle line to two tracks and 600' stations.  That would allow for situations like this the to be able to run to Franklin Avenue in place of the shuttle.  It is something I have brought up before in my ideas for a Myrtle-Brighton line that can be a second Brooklyn-Queens crosstown.

I would just rebuild the whole Myrtle Evelated. That would serve the not so many transit options part of Brooklyn.

Rare reroutes =/= cost justification. How often are you going to see a full-length train run up Franklin Ave where that kind of massive expense would be justified? Especially after they rebuilt the line just 20 years ago.

ELECTRICAL IMPROVEMENTS
 Trains skip 168 St in both directions

Weekend, 6:45 AM Sat to 8 PM Sun, Jan 20 - 21

I guess they are doing elevator work that weekend, which is why the  cannot stop at that station?

 

EQUIPMENT TESTING
 Brighton Beach-bound trains run local from Prospect Park to Kings Hwy

Days, 10 AM to 3:30 PM, Mon to Fri, Jan 29 - Feb 2  

What exactly are they testing? I thought the R179s have finished all their tests.
