I'm surprised they got things up and running so fast. But does anyone else notice that the IND is left out in Brooklyn? It's only connection to Manhattan is via Jamaica or 4 Avenue and (4)/(5).

MTARegional Bus Posted November 3, 2012 Share #453 Posted November 3, 2012 Yea even though we get up their asses all the time, it's impressive that they got most of the system up and running. Congrats MTA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the news said the train tunnel is clear of water so hopefully we can get and service between Brooklyn and Manhattan soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamousNYLover Posted November 3, 2012 Share #456 Posted November 3, 2012 It still very bad news for the Rockaways. If Rockaways resident want to get to/from, they have to take n31/n32 to Lynbrook-Five Corner for n4 Jamaica to connect with for (M)anhattan or for Brooklyn's Williamsburg. It so upsetting that renovated Rockaway Stations got ruined by Hurricane Sandy. I even heard Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge suffered great damage from storm.

TheKorean Posted November 3, 2012 Share #457 Posted November 3, 2012 Is MTA just being lazy with Q and B? Why is it still suspended? Absurd. Absolutely absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton Express Posted November 3, 2012 Share #459 Posted November 3, 2012 Just found out that the Lexington Av is back online. All trains are going to New Lots Av, all trains to Flatbush Av. They are running Local after Nevins St. also going all the way to Times Sq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious2train Posted November 3, 2012 Share #460 Posted November 3, 2012 does anyone know if the will be running again because i normally use these routes to go to school as school is back on Monday Is MTA just being lazy with Q and B? Why is it still suspended? Absurd. Absolutely absurd. Snowblock said the tunnel north of Prospect Park is flooded. And TheKorean, cut the MTA a little slack, eh? They're doing a pretty good job getting service back up quickly. I understand your frustration, but it's not as if the MTA is just slacking. Other busy tunnels like 53rd St and 14th St are still out of commission as well. Some tunnels will naturally be pumped out before others, they can't all be restored at the same time.

nu1116 Posted November 3, 2012 Share #461 Posted November 3, 2012 I think the reason that there are no in Brooklyn is because they don't have trains to run them... Equipment for those services is most likely stored in Manhattan, but power is not fully recovered yet so they cannot move the trains down to Brooklyn. I passed Ave U yesterday I saw the tracks were dry and no water at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKorean Posted November 3, 2012 Share #462 Posted November 3, 2012 ugh. ok then. Legit excuse. Well it turns out MTA is expecting Q to run from Astoria to Coney Island sometime today. Why was D train out though? Every train out of Coney island except F were out for longer than any other services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lance Posted November 3, 2012 Share #464 Posted November 3, 2012 ugh. ok then. Legit excuse. Well it turns out MTA is expecting Q to run from Astoria to Coney Island sometime today. Why was D train out though? Every train out of Coney island except F were out for longer than any other services. The D is split because there was no power south of Herald Sq, meaning the third rail/signals were out on the Manhattan Bridge and the Sixth Avenue line. Power was restored just this morning if I'm not mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysterious2train Posted November 3, 2012 Share #466 Posted November 3, 2012 I think the reason that there are no in Brooklyn is because they don't have trains to run them... Equipment for those services is most likely stored in Manhattan, but power is not fully recovered yet so they cannot move the trains down to Brooklyn. I passed Ave U yesterday I saw the tracks were dry and no water at all... I believe some cars were stored underground to keep them safe. After all, the MTA did have cars to run limited and service, so I imagine they could probably spare cars for limited and service. The would be fully redundant to the for Brooklyn-only service, and I imagine the flooding on the and was the main factor in preventing service (although, hypothetically I wonder if having to single-track from Prospect Park to Atlantic Av would make running 10-minute service difficult.)

w8Hou Posted November 3, 2012 Share #467 Posted November 3, 2012 More than 80% of New York City subway trains return to service The subways are nearly all back on track. Slightly more than 80% of the subway system is back up and running and all trains should be operating within a few days. "Come on out and use the system," MTA Chairman Joseph Lhota said during a Saturday press conference with state and federal elected officials. Trains started picking up passengers again Saturday morning along the entire 4,5,6 and 7 lines, officials said. Full service will return later Saturday to the D, F, J and M lines, officials said. The A train will run from 168 St. to Lefferts Blvd. beginning Monday but service to the Rockaways will not return for at least a month because the train bridge over Jamaica Bay was severely damaged. The subway system had been running largely as a series of shuttles because all seven East River tunnels were flooded and lower Manhattan was without power. With several tunnels pumped dry and power restored by Con Edison, trains can now run between Brooklyn and lower Manhattan through some of the tubes, and over the Manhattan and Williamsburg bridges. Some tunnels remain flooded, including the 14th St. tunnel used by L-line trains.

RollOver Posted November 3, 2012 Share #468 Posted November 3, 2012 No month with Far Rockaway and the Rockaway Park Shuttle..... I'm willing to know what's up with 207th and those 16 R46s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeesPwnMets Posted November 3, 2012 Share #469 Posted November 3, 2012 I'm wondering what they will do with the right now... South Ferry looks pretty badly damaged and where would you terminate the ? Brooklyn? Flatbush? New Lots??? I don't think the MTA wants to force the to run local because the has to terminate on the express tracks somewhere along 7th Ave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrivera Posted November 3, 2012 Share #470 Posted November 3, 2012 I can see it now: The runs limited service 242-New Lots, but the headways will be long not because of capacity, but because their crews would be busy filing greivances and booking sick. All the extra-extras fresh out of school car would be on the and it still wouldnt be enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zacster Posted November 3, 2012 Share #473 Posted November 3, 2012 I doubt the reason for the Q being out is water at Prospect Park or anywhere else. The was little rain in this part of Brooklyn and PP is far inland from the shore and actually a bit higher. It is probably just due to power in Manhattan and logistics in getting it moving. The line was cut off from CI and manhattan so it didn't have any cars to run with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GojiMet86 Posted November 3, 2012 Share #474 Posted November 3, 2012 So, the Lexington line is back in service. Hmm...I guess that means an R62 in the Bronx... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
