MTR Admiralty Posted January 7, 2009 Share #76 Posted January 7, 2009 All the Bway G.O does is make service go on an extended headway so local stops in QNS is less served. Every once in a while they send the Local. But how hard is it to send the G through the QBL given those conditions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelham Bay Dave Posted January 8, 2009 Share #77 Posted January 8, 2009 Not hard at all service runs reduced headway because of what happening on the Bway Line. The isn't a factor since sometimes they pull one local at random to make up for gaps in service. They don't like doing it to(E) trains. The only times I see it hard sending past Court Sq is when you got trains sharing a track some where which is not the case this time around.

The way I see it is, just another lame excuse to not send the G past Court Sq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I'd agree with this also, I think the main concern is about transporting passengers from Queens Boulevard, and to Manhattan, and not crosstown riders.

Pelham Bay Dave Posted January 8, 2009 Share #80 Posted January 8, 2009 They want to cut the and even with them cutting it back the MTA is not saving Money since the Work Programs have T/O's and C/R's picking the Jobs starting at 71 St and wkend OPTO T/O's starting at 71 St. So when service is cut to Court Sq the crews get paid traval time Court Sq to 71 St as a early Report and on Wkend about half the T/O's get reassigned from there picked job to work another job or line. Those guys get paid Extra Board time and traval time to a new Work Location so they spend more money turning trains at Court Sq until it becomes and offical cut. Thats one of the reason I have not picked a job as good as it may look. You make Money but I just wanted to work my job with my picked hours and go home I don't want the overtime.

Yeah but, the R running as the only local during the off hours is not enough, and they don't run the V on weekends or late nights, so it can't compensate.

In this case that would necessitate the goign to Forest Hills, well I think the may go to Forest Hills this weekend because the "service change" cutback to Court Square has been canceled.

Pelham Bay Dave Posted January 10, 2009 Share #83 Posted January 10, 2009 The trains terminate at Court SQ when the cold weather plan is in effect like this weekend which cancels most contruction projects. Most likely trains will run local all wkend in QNS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad weather, causes substantial changes. Anyways thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7LineFan Posted January 11, 2009 Share #86 Posted January 11, 2009 Building a transfer passageway from the G to the 7 can really help the G passengers. I saw a bus notice a few months ago that said they were doing that. Haven't been there in person though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the bus was rerouted. I will check on that myself during my inter-term break at the end of this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric B Posted January 13, 2009 Share #90 Posted January 13, 2009 Yeah, the whole sidewalk is dug out with the construction. Couldn't find the shuttle bus either, when the wasn't running. The to Queens Plaza would have sure come in handy! Bad time to cut it back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
