itmaybeokay Posted November 4, 2012 Share #603 Posted November 4, 2012 Anybody know the status of the 53rd street tube? Queens blvd service has been frustrating with no express. Can't even get on a train weekday am at 46. That said, I'm really impressed with the progress made so far, and this board might be the most comprehensive news out there.

It's going over the bridge. I hopped on a at DeKalb Avenue and just got off at Broadway (in Astoria). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted November 5, 2012 Share #609 Posted November 5, 2012 I have a feeling that the might be restored to Astoria tomorrow as a Broadway Local. (The shuttle sure as hell needs more support...) you are right, its good for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkmatechamp13 Posted November 5, 2012 Share #610 Posted November 5, 2012 Question about train service? Do you all believe that the train is going to be more crowded in Brooklyn and western Queens until train service resumes and will there be overnight service in Manhattan and along Queens Blvd until train resumes. The would definitely get more crowded. The question is how much? How many people will forego traveling into Manhattan until the is up and running? As for overnight service, well, it's definitely going to happen until the resumes because you need something to serve Jamaica Center (I mean, that's what they've been doing the past few days). After that is anybody's guess. (I mean, by the time they get the up, they could get the up too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3838 Posted November 5, 2012 Share #611 Posted November 5, 2012 if the doesn't return tomorrow (it most likely will) but if it doesn't they might have to borrow some equipment off the line or Line to handle the crowds, The MTA said the TBA (to Be Announced) so who knows, and i did see about 8 trainsets of R46's on the exp tracks btwn Suphtin and north of Van wyck and btwn Union Turnpike and 75th ave signed up as , so i doubt the will return tomorrow as well (but who knows) im just saying, from what ive seen, we will find out tomorrow But No Doubt the and lines will be packed full of riders and the B62 will be packed full of riders unless they add shuttle buses or extra B62's from different depots, like they did with the M103 2 days ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aemoreira81 Posted November 5, 2012 Share #612 Posted November 5, 2012 The is running Astoria to 59th Street in Brooklyn. What I don't get is---why not just run the to 95th Street and suspend service? (Only one stop would be affected - Jay Street-MetroTech.) As for the , I don't understand why it is not running.

brooklynzfinest Posted November 5, 2012 Share #614 Posted November 5, 2012 Anyone know why the Q is only running to Kings Highway and not Brighton Beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric B Posted November 5, 2012 Share #615 Posted November 5, 2012 The is still running to Jamaica Center but somehow running Queens Blvd Express while the takes local. Any explanation why? It was local all day, and they still had trains laid up on the express track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itmaybeokay Posted November 5, 2012 Share #616 Posted November 5, 2012 Oh hey as of 7 minutes ago the E is running again via 53rd st tube (guess they pumped it out, and it came back up fine) and the A is running through cranberry again. <http://www.mta.info/> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkmatechamp13 Posted November 5, 2012 Share #617 Posted November 5, 2012 Anyone know why the Q is only running to Kings Highway and not Brighton Beach. Could have to do with lack of power or a problem with the signals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowblock Posted November 5, 2012 Share #618 Posted November 5, 2012 Service to/from Rector will be in effect 5am-9pm beginning tomorrow. Signals in the loop are still dark so we are doing an absolute block. DO NOT attempt to railfan the loop, we are ordered to remove any and all people at Rector. Service will get cut back to 14 overnight in order to do repairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itmaybeokay Posted November 5, 2012 Share #619 Posted November 5, 2012 Now that the is restored to Jamaica Center, and the is cut back to Continental, does anyone know if express service is going to come back to the and tomorrow? I know the Montague tube was flooded pretty badly, and I'm assuming Whitehall is a mess, but theoretically couldn't they turn the at Canal Street or City Hall? back on queens blvd. would make for a very happy monday. and express with only local on 10 min headways, on the other hand, would be, uh, non-optimal. Thoughts? Anyone have any info on this stuff or the condition of Whitehall/Montague at this point? Serious thanks to all those with the inside info sharing with the rest of us!

paulrivera Posted November 5, 2012 Share #625 Posted November 5, 2012 At the risk of Snowblock having a stroke, for whatever reason the MTA website says the train is running "242nd St - 14th Street (Coney Island)" this evening. Who writes this stuff? On a serious note, are any lines going to actually run their full weekday schedule or is there still going to be "limited service" on every single line? I would otherwise mess with Tripplanner to get a sense, but all the MTA direct links redirect to the post-Sandy homepage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
