There was not enough equipment available (meaning 10-car R160s) to fully have service AND increase train service to offset the service reduction, which is a caveat of CBTC activation before the shutdown. You are limited as to what rolling stock is available to run. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have mentioned it serval times here CBTC until its fully online from the Plaza, 21st to 179 and Parsons has issues when it comes to getting Lines Ups(moving switches) from Non CBTC areas. I seen it myself BIEs IDs drop out Switches lock up and the such so the less switch movement the better. No idea why its that way its just that way..

I actually have an experience to add to reasons why. Currently the tracks that take the G from court sq to queens plaza arent normally used by trains, and for some odd reason are controlled by RCC. I was on an F that had to be rerouted via crosstown due to signal problems at jay. It took us at least 10 minutes to go from court sq to queens plaza, and some more time to leave queens plaza for a diverging lineup, thats just not sustainable 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallyhorse Posted August 19, 2023 Share #75 Posted August 19, 2023 That makes sense. They likely have to fix the CBTC issues there before they can have anything resembling a full-time line there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
