jacsnyy Posted July 18, 2008 Share #1 Posted July 18, 2008 The Brighton Line was such an annoyance today. Transferring from a downtown to the at Dekalb, the switch problems resulted in the running as a Super Express down Sea Beach. (which was pretty cool, and cause I had nowhere to be, I appreciated it). It stopped Pacific, 36th, 59th, Coney Island. Going back up Brighton on the ( had problems to. My train was stuck behind a stalled train in the tunnel between Prospect and 7th Ave. I ended up using the shuttle to the to Grand Army Plaza.

Zachary is the having consturction on local lines like 93/94? because subchatters a few weeks ago said that there will be construction starting 10/1 and all trains run on express tracks which the local tracks will be converted into temproray platforms. and they also said that they are gonna make a switch south of churhc or north of newkirk. is all of this true?
