N6 Limited Posted November 4, 2013 Share #178 Posted November 4, 2013 By reversing direction at Wall St. Trains don't run frequently in the late night hours. How long does that take? Is there another T/O ready to switch ends? or does the TO, walk to the other end of the train? No trains between Myrtle-Wyckoff Avs, Brooklyn and 8 Av, Manhattan trains, M14 and free shuttle buses provide alternate service Weekend, 11:30 PM Fri to 5 AM Mon, Nov 15 - 18 service operates between Rockaway Pkwy and Myrtle-Wyckoff Avs. Must be Irritating. Do the buses (B24, 32, 62, 60, 57, 38, Q54,59) connecting the and the /(M) get slammed? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtrak7 Posted November 8, 2013 Share #179 Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) Nov 16/17...they restored the outage. So that makes: - 8 Av-Myrtle - 161-Woodlawn - Willets-Main - Chambers-Essex - Van Wyck-Jamaica - Church-57/7 -Various minor express runs Note: The Jamaica outage also occurs on Thanksgiving weekend. I predict some problems w/ AirTrain-bound luggage-toting passengers. Edited November 8, 2013 by Amtrak7 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess their philosophy is that if the stores are open for the holiday, it's fair game for G.O.s. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtrak7 Posted November 13, 2013 Share #184 Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) The GO repeats the weekend after (although obviously it doesn't go into the weekdays then). I wonder if they'll pull a London Underground and do a Christmas Eve through New Years' Day out of phase closure somewhere.

paulrivera Posted November 13, 2013 Share #189 Posted November 13, 2013 If the Friday after Thanksgiving is still a modified (?) weekday schedule as it's supposed to be, the will run. Even if it has to run local in Brooklyn for a while to make room for all those B and Q lay-ups on the express tracks, it will run. Now if they lay up those trains in the yard that Wednesday............ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted November 14, 2013 Share #195 Posted November 14, 2013 It's still a bit early. Sometimes, service changes aren't posted until a week before they're scheduled to take effect. We'll have to wait and see if anything's added in the coming days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amtrak7 Posted November 22, 2013 Share #198 Posted November 22, 2013 The Thanksgiving iteration of the GO has been pulled from the website. The same outage for the weekend after is still listed. Perhaps the MTA couldn't find enough shuttle bus drivers willing to work the holiday? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted November 22, 2013 Share #199 Posted November 22, 2013 I'm not surprised. That's kind of ridiculous to have something like that on Thanksgiving proper. Maybe for Black Friday, but not on the actual holiday. Hopefully it doesn't pop up again at the last minute like that Q suspension last week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
