+Young+ Posted May 10, 2015 Share #1 Posted May 10, 2015 So I was looking ahead at the Planned Service Changes and I see this for Memorial Day Weekend: Coney Island-bound trains run via the from Roosevelt Av to Canal St, then via the to Jay St-MetroTech Weekend & Holiday, 11:30 PM Fri to 5 AM Tue, May 22 - 26 Trains run express from Roosevelt Av to Queens Plaza. No Coney Island-bound service at 21 St-Queensbridge, Roosevelt Island, Lexington Av/63, 57, 47-50 Sts, 42 St-Bryant Pk, 34 St-Herald Sq, 23, 14, B'way-Lafayette Sts, 2 Av, Delancey St, East Broadwayand York St. Trains stop at W 4 St-Wash Sq. Can someone please elaborate as far as what specific track work they will be doing? Is this because they are going to be doing work along the 63rd Street Tunnel, 6th Avenue Local Tracks and the Rutgers Street Tunnel all at once on the S/B tracks? I just find this G/O very interesting, especially since this affects approximately one-third (1/3) of the second longest line in the "B" division. Thanks in advance...

alekr Posted May 10, 2015 Share #2 Posted May 10, 2015 Possible that they want all the work to be focused at once. To reduce switching I assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from Maspeth Posted May 10, 2015 Share #3 Posted May 10, 2015 Not going to know till the week before when the actual GO for the crews is published and distributed to the terminals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3216068E Posted May 10, 2015 Share #4 Posted May 10, 2015 This GO for the memorial day weekend is going to cause alot of congestion and delays along 8 av Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDTA Posted May 12, 2015 Share #5 Posted May 12, 2015 I would assume they're doing work here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamen Rider Posted May 12, 2015 Share #6 Posted May 12, 2015 As I said elsewhere, the 6th avenue local tracks have had no work done on them in weeks due to having to cover for the L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTA1992 Posted May 12, 2015 Share #7 Posted May 12, 2015 6th Avenue along with the QBL is next for signal and switch upgrades anyway so this could be the beginning of it's CBTC project. According to the latest CPOC, the is actually going to be the first, non-isolated route to get CBTC on almost all of it's route. From Union Turnpike to Avenue X.

LTA1992 Posted May 12, 2015 Share #9 Posted May 12, 2015 The 6th Avenue part won't get it for awhile though. It's a part of the 2015-19 capital program according to the latest CPOC. Signals and switches still do need to be replaced which does tie in to CBTC work. The actual CBTC equipment does not need to be installed at the same time.

N6 Limited Posted May 13, 2015 Share #10 Posted May 13, 2015 The and are going local "north" of Roosevelt Ave, so they're sending the to 179th. Are they starting to think about the customer? Or did they realize that they pay more overtime due to "train traffic" by fumigating at 71st Ave? This GO for the memorial day weekend is going to cause alot of congestion and delays along 8 av It shouldn't be too too bad. The downtown will be going express to Canal St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollOver Posted May 13, 2015 Share #11 Posted May 13, 2015 The and are going local "north" of Roosevelt Ave, so they're sending the to 179th. Are they starting to think about the customer? Or did they realize that they pay more overtime due to "train traffic" by fumigating at 71st Ave? As I said to you 2 months ago, the is still needed on Queens Blvd regardless of the and running local on the Queens Blvd Line fully or partially. Just send the to Union Tpke (crossing over to and from the express track east of 71 Av and skipping 75 Av in both directions) or straight to 179 St and there'd be little to no delays. So everything in the entire subway system should be treated equally as a whole, whether it's a full-time line or part-time line, no matter. As understood, the combined 18 trains per hour on one singe track is too frequent enough as it is, so it makes little to no sense to continuously turn the at 71 Av. Same goes for the at Church Av when the runs very frequently Monday through Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will definitely be there rail fanning and laughing at the crew on all the line it's going to be a big pain to get the and trains to their terminals on time during that weekend G.O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree even though service is frequent enough part time like the are still needed to transport commuters to get where they need to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
