I usually see one every few weeks, and it probably occurs more often than that. I mean, there are so many different scenarios that can necessitate a switch, it's not a big deal. I remeber the first time i ever took a train to the bronx, and trains were running express northbound on White Plains.

This was because all Broadway trains (particularly the and were all running on the north side of the Manhattan Bridge, sharing tracks with the and ), and the Sixth Avenue Line was overcrowded. The trains after a certain point were being dispatched from Jamaica every 12 minutes. Aside from this, you had and trains all over the place that had to be turned at 34 St to go back to Astoria, with trains probably blocking the way in terms of turning trains around so that and trains that had made it southbound into Manhattan also had to turn at 34 St. So the solution was to hold all Broadway trains in Manhattan and the ones outside manhattan were turned at Queensboro Plaza ( / ), Atlantic Av-Barclays Center ( ), rerouting the to 4 Av Local, or rerouted via 63 St or 53 St / 6 Av ( and ) Edited May 12, 2021 by darkstar8983 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted May 12, 2021 Share #7281 Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) IRT is messed up cause a train with mechanical problems went down at Flatbush terminal, and had to be rerouted to Utica and New Lots, then another or the same train went down at Nevins Street. IND was also messed up in Manhattan today due to a variety of reasons. https://mobile.twitter.com/NYCTSubway/status/1392552087293243393 Edited May 12, 2021 by trainfan22 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As per the MTA data feeds for this week, the and (in Manhattan) are all scheduled to end early this week (except Friday), presumably due to the 6th Ave Fastrack: - Lost 4 round trips, Last train from 145th scheduled to depart 8:35 PM (normally 9:15 PM); Last train from Brighton Beach 8:14 PM (normally 8:54 PM) - Lost 2 round trips, Last train from Forest Hills 8:06 PM (normally 8:27); Last train from Metropolitan to Manhattan 8:14 PM (normally 8:38). Service between Delancey-Essex and Myrtle also ending 2 hours early which is also attributed to Fastrack. - Lost 9(!) round trips, Last train from Ditmars 7:48 PM (normally 9:26 PM); Last train from Whitehall 8:38 PM (normally 10:14) So the was already ending a little early, and perhaps they just attributed it to/it just got mixed in with the big FUBAR on Broadway yesterday. I stayed in Queens yesterday, but I did see one Jamaica-bound signed up as via Crosstown, so I'm assuming 6th Ave was a real Clusterf. No clue why the is ending so much earlier than normal. though. Hope this isn't the start of even more G.O. creep. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BM5 via Woodhaven Posted May 16, 2021 Share #7284 Posted May 16, 2021 (edited) I want to point out, a similar issue occurred in the morning and was fixed. Around 6:45 PM was when this service change peeped up again, and remains ongoing: Multiple Impacts Posted: 05/15/2021 08:47 PM There is no service between Kings Hwy and Coney Island-Stillwell Av in both directions while our crews continue to correct a temporary loss of power at that location. Some trains are running on the or line between DeKalb Av and Coney Island-Stillwell Av. For alternative service, consider using the (D) , , B68 or B82 local bus service.

As trainfan22 mentioned, there are ways to access the 4th Avenue express tracks. There are openings at every station. Also, the Culver Line was out south of Church Avenue, which is useless for those going into southern Brooklyn.

Now as I’m writing this I guess it’s simple the T/O just walks to the other end? Yup. Train crosses over after Wall Street and doesn’t use the loop. Now if the train actually does use the loop after arriving on the opposite platform, a railfanner needs to be dispatched to Bowling Green at once. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abba Posted May 23, 2021 Share #7292 Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) Lol. When I first saw the advisory I was thinking “wow how would they use the loop that way”? But I would imagine no loop In this case. Edited May 23, 2021 by Abba 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northbound A trains are running on the F line from Jay St-MetroTech to W 4 St-Wash Sq and will make all local stops in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Some northbound F trains are running along the G line from Bergen St to Court Sq, then via the E line to Jackson Hts-Roosevelt Av. C trains are suspended on the entire line. Posted: 5/26/21 10:10 AM Some Delays There are major delays and reroutes to B D N and Q train service while NYPD responds to someone in need on the Manhattan Bridge. B Service is suspended on the entire line. Take the A or Q instead. D Trains will make local stops in Manhattan and then run along the F line in both directions between W 4 St-Wash Sq and Coney Island-Stillwell Av M Trains are not running between Delancey St-Essex St and Forest Hills-71 Av in both directions to alleviate congestion along 6 Av due to rerouted trains. N and Q Trains are running along the R line in both directions between DeKalb Av and Canal St. Travel Alternatives for service between Brooklyn and Manhattan- At 14 St-Union Sq, take 4 or 5 trains. At Atlantic Av-Barclays Ctr, take 2 3 4 or 5 trains. At 59 St-Columbus Circle, transfer to A C trains to Jay St-MetroTech where R service is available. At 34 St-Herald Sq, transfer to N Q or R trains for service into Brooklyn. Expect delays in F R and W train service as they share the same track with rerouted trains.
