I was on a southbound (C) that ran express on 8th Avenue. Have no idea why it was express. At 14th Street, there was a (C) on the express and a (C) on the local. Wonder what actually happened...

 

BTW it was an hour earlier than when you posted that.

Due to signal problems at Eastchester-Dyre Av, there is no (5) train service between E 180 St and Eastchester-Dyre Av in both directions.

 

Allow additional travel time.

 

I have been very into the MTA's faults lately into these service advisories lately and thinking that they can do a little better.I have to admit this one has been going on for over an hour.No alternatives for the riders? Does anyone take this line after midnight?

 

Also yesterday for the (7) train that was knocked out for over 4 hours it would be nice if they gave a small explanation.They should want to interact with their riders.Am I not right?

Due to signal problems at Eastchester-Dyre Av, the following service changes are in effect:

 

There is no 5.png express service in the Bronx in both directions.

 

4.png and 5.png trains are running with delays in both directions.

 

As an alternative customers may take the 2.pngBx28Bx30Bx38Bx12 or Bx12SBS bus service.

 

Allow additional travel time.

 
Yeah, as if the (4) and (5) trains being delayed prone is something new, when pretty clearly it isn't...not during rush hours that is. As for Dyre Avenue, obviously the most logical conclusion would be to turn the (5) at East 180 Street and offer a free shuttle bus to/from Dyre Avenue until the signal problems cleared up.

Due to a sick customer at Grant Av, the following service change are in effect:

 

Some southbound a.png trains are terminating at Euclid Av.

 

Some northbound a.png trains are terminating at Howard Beach-JFK Airport.

 

Allow additional travel time.

 

Yesterday during the middle of the day, something different happened: the (MTA) revealed about a train with a mechanical delay at Lefferts Blvd which forced Lefferts Blvd-bound (A) trains to turn at Euclid Av. Though the thing is, I still wonder if Howard Beach-JFK Airport is staffed full-time (or could be staffed if necessary). Because that way, Lefferts Blvd-bound (A) trains can be rerouted there. There's no need to send them straight to Far Rockaway because the peninsula doesn't need a train every 10 minutes other than the 20 minute frequencies they get at the time. I remember I did considered something like this elsewhere.

It was a switch problem at Times Square. I ended up getting caught in it and they turned the train I was on back at Queensboro Plaza

The (2)(5) switcheroo! "Station maintenance" wonder what that mean? Why they couldn't just bypass the station

Due to switch problems at Broadway-Lafayette St, the following service changes are in effect:

Some Metropolitan Av-bound m.png trains are terminating at 2 Av.

71 Av-bound m.png trains are running on the j.png line from Delancey-Essex Sts to Chambers St and then terminate.

Wow the first time I see that the (M) is running the northern section with it running its Nassau reroute.

I think it's always done that. Obviously, if there's a problem there will also be trains en route that still run. The trains don't go poof and disappear when the MTA says "suspended." This is more like the MTA acknowledging that the (M) trains are still providing service.

Besides it better than suspending the (M). The (F) acts like a bridge.

Since the blockage was on Chrystie itself, and not where other lines must be rerouted and merge, they were able to run both halves of the (M), though separately. 

 

That whole thing was weird, because at one point, they started turning both (J) and (M) at Marcy. Some in the station, and some dropping out at Hewes and relaying in the middle. I don't know why it would back up when the (M)s were already going to Chambers, but the only reason I could think of was having to back the train caught behind the switch out into Essex. (And the switch to the middle is out, so you can't run around that).

Does anyone know if this was done?

Due to signal problems at Coney Island-Stillwell Av, d.png trains are running with delays in both directions.

Allow additional travel time.

 

There was a major signal outage at 67th avenue that caused shutdown on the QBL. There was no (E) between 50th street and Jamaica which caused some of the (E) to run on the (C) line. The (F) didn't run north of 21st and the (M)(R) was suspended. It is a good thing that they restored service before the Mets game or it would had been a huge mess on the (7)
