S78 via Hylan Posted November 28, 2013 Share #202 Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) How does this work? 3 Av-149 St Station Weekend, 6 AM to 11 AM Sunday, Dec 1 All trains board at the 241 St-bound platform. Most likely this: After Jackson Av on the Manhattan bound track, there's a switch from that one to the middle track, so I'm guessing Flatbush Avenue bound trains will use that, then switch from the middle to the 241/Dyre Av-bound track. After leaving 3 Av-149, it would cross back to the Manhattan side. Edited November 28, 2013 by S78 via Hylan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CenSin Posted November 30, 2013 Share #205 Posted November 30, 2013 Service is going to suck for people between Broadway–Lafayette Lafayette and Jay Street during late nights from December 2 to 6… The runs with the from West 4 Street to Jay Street–Metrotech, but the Manhattan Shuttle only runs between Broadway–Lafayette Street and East Broadway necessitating 2 transfers (involving the shuttle, , and ) in either direction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j express Posted November 30, 2013 Share #206 Posted November 30, 2013 Or you can talk the to Delcancy St and walk to 2 Av or East Broadway but until 11;30 p.m. After that take the to Fulton St for to Delcancy St and walk to 2 Av or East Broadway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted December 4, 2013 Share #210 Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) Here's an interesting service change (starts the weekend of 12/14): Additional service operates between World Trade Center and Van Wyck Blvd Weekends, 9 AM to 7 PM, Sat, until Dec 21 11 AM to 6 PM, Sun, until Dec 22 Alternate trains run to/from the 179 St Station. I wonder if service will be cut on the F-line for some reason that would require the E to be doubled like this.

I wonder if service will be cut on the F-line for some reason that would require the E to be doubled like this. That makes no sense. If every other goes to 179 how is that "additional service"? I think it's the continuation of the work that required shuttle busing, just singletracking now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted December 4, 2013 Share #212 Posted December 4, 2013 The way it's worded makes it sound like service to 179 St will be added on top of normal service to Jamaica-Parsons, not halved. That's why I'm wondering if there will be a reduction in F-line service as a result. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewJC Posted December 4, 2013 Share #214 Posted December 4, 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.Sorry to dig up an old post, but ridership is lighter on Thanksgiving than on Black Friday, and Black Friday has the added complication of the B train. Service is going to suck for people between Broadway–Lafayette Lafayette and Jay Street during late nights from December 2 to 6… The runs with the from West 4 Street to Jay Street–Metrotech, but the Manhattan Shuttle only runs between Broadway–Lafayette Street and East Broadway necessitating 2 transfers (involving the shuttle, , and ) in either direction.How many people are traveling between the 2nd Avenue or East Broadway stations and Brooklyn? I don't see this as a terribly big deal, and West 4th isn't the best bus terminal. Here's an interesting service change (starts the weekend of 12/14): Additional service operates between World Trade Center and Van Wyck Blvd Weekends, 9 AM to 7 PM, Sat, until Dec 21 11 AM to 6 PM, Sun, until Dec 22 Alternate trains run to/from the 179 St Station. I wonder if service will be cut on the F-line for some reason that would require the E to be doubled like this.Weekend service is normally increased on several lines on weekends in December, I believe including the E. I wonder if Parsons-Archer for some reason (single-tracking?) won't be able to handle the full complement of service that weekend, so half the trains are being diverted to 179th. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtatransit Posted December 5, 2013 Share #215 Posted December 5, 2013 Why doe the make wording so confusing, how they expect people to read that. It must be a cut or else they are gonna say we are adding addition trains btw WTC AND VAN WYCK BL with those special trains serving 179th 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTA Bus Posted December 6, 2013 Share #216 Posted December 6, 2013 My guess is that more trains will be going to 179th Street instead of Jamaica Center. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted December 6, 2013 Share #217 Posted December 6, 2013 Like I said, service to and from Jamaica Center seems to be unaffected, based on how this service advisory is worded. If it was affected, the advisory would read something like "Trains run every [X] minutes between [briarwood] Van Wyck Blvd and Jamaica Center." Instead, it reads as such: "Additional service operates between World Trade Center and [briarwood] Van Wyck Blvd." There will be additional service on the E-line for those two weekends, not less. It's just that those added trains will run to 179 St instead of Jamaica Center. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtrak7 Posted December 8, 2013 Share #218 Posted December 8, 2013 No trains between Crescent St and Jamaica Center trains and free shuttle buses provide alternate service Weekend, 6:30 AM to 5 PM, Sunday, Dec 22 Fairly standard GO, but its odd timing (peak of the holiday season, less than a full day) makes me wonder as to its reason... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Around the Horn Posted December 11, 2013 Share #219 Posted December 11, 2013 Fairly standard GO, but its odd timing (peak of the holiday season, less than a full day) makes me wonder as to its reason... Its less than a full day because it makes no sense to shut the elevated down if no work can be done at night... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted December 24, 2013 Share #220 Posted December 24, 2013 Looking at the month ahead (weekend-wise), here are the major disruptions that are planned for January: - no service between 149 St and Woodlawn (1/4, 1/11) - shuttle buses run from 149 St to 161 St, Woodlawn to Bedford Park Blvd - no service between E 180 St and 149 St-Grand Concourse (1/18) - shuttle service runs every half-hour along Dyre Avenue branch - no direct service between Howard Beach and the Rockaways (1/4) - shuttle buses replace trains between 205 St and Bedord Park Blvd (1/18) - alternate Queens-bound trains turn at Bedford-Nostrand Avs (1/11, 1/18) - no service between Essex St and Chambers St (1/11) - service extended from 71 Av to 179 St (1/18) A few more things of note include the running via 53rd Street (Queen-bound) almost every weekend, the and via Rutgers and via Cranberry (both Brooklyn-bound) for a weekend each and one-direction express only service along parts of the Queens Boulevard Line. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted February 3, 2014 Share #225 Posted February 3, 2014 This is new: Trains replace the in Manhattan and Brooklyn Weekend & Holiday, 3:30 AM Sat to 10 PM Mon, Feb 15 - 17 trains make all stops in Manhattan and Brooklyn as follows: Days: Service operates between Dyre Av and Utica Av. Late Nights: Service operates between Dyre Av and New Lots Av , making local stops. Note: No service during this time. I think this may be the first time in a while the has gotten priority over the or the . Of course, this is probably due to the Jerome Avenue shutdown in place (not listed yet). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
