Guest Lance Posted November 7, 2012 Share #726 Posted November 7, 2012 With full length trains to boot. Of course, it is limited service so give and take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CenSin Posted November 7, 2012 Share #727 Posted November 7, 2012 Power is still out at Coney island station,which the solar panels are so useless... You really expect an array of solar panels that small to drive enough electricity to run a train?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peacemak3r Posted November 7, 2012 Share #728 Posted November 7, 2012 Nice to see the is back up, no more walking or bus to Threxx apparently. I figured they would try to get the before the . Let's see how long that'll take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted November 7, 2012 Share #729 Posted November 7, 2012 Hem, I wonder if the service will be popular enough to keep even after the returns to normal. QB local service sucks when the is running by itself and it's a pita to have to take the to 7th av to transfer to the to get back down to 6th av.

Maybe if widly succesful the could run the full route 7 days a week i.e 6am-Midnight after the and are back online. However IMO it will never become a 24/7 line running between 71st and Metro Ave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowblock Posted November 7, 2012 Share #737 Posted November 7, 2012 Hold up... LTD service? Does that mean a train every 20 minutes? Yes, so business as usual! In all seriousness, the is operating an absolute block between Nassau Ave and Court Sq, which means only one train at a time can be between those two stations. All signals from Greenpoint to 21 St are dark, and will likely need to be replaced, so enjoy the limited service while you can, because I predict lots of weekend/overnight closures in that line's future! The good news is that the is currently operating 10 car trains due to the anticipated crowds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the absolute block scenario, couldn't they feasibly use one track at a time while they repair the other track, without fully closing the line? So... is there a baton?
