I was off yesterday and opted to take the train for a few stops to get to Metro-North and I must've been lucky because it came without any problems. The Lex line has really been bad over the last week or so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union Tpke Posted May 3, 2017 Share #4382 Posted May 3, 2017 Concerning the E problem, the announcements were horrible as usual. Nothing was announced for six minutes, and then they garbled the announcements. There was an E train on the Queens-bound express track at Union Tpke that was discharged that said Last Stop. Then suddenly the T/O announced, using the exterior speakers, that the train would now be running to Jamaica Center. The passengers on the platform got onto the train and it left. However, as people were getting on, the announcement stating that E trains were not going to Jamaica Center was playing, and was incorrect. Even after the train left they played the same announcement. If you got onto the platform after the train left and were somehow able to understand the garbled announcement you would not have known that service was running to Jamaica Center. The announcement was not even helpful. It just said "use local buses at street level." The website and the announcements stated that E trains were running to 179th instead. That was wrong, they were terminating at Union Tpke. This was due to some NYPD activity. OK, this was not in the MTA's control. We cannot blame them for that one. HOWEVER, we can blame them for their horrible communication that makes it hard even for people who know the system well to know what is going on. If you are a tourist heading back to JFK to go back to where they live, it would be really stressful, confusing, and alarming not knowing what is going on, how to get where you need to go and whether you would make your plane. Delays will continue to happen, but riders won't stop being frustrated until they get respected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N6 Limited Posted May 3, 2017 Share #4383 Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) I'll just place this here... Looks like it will be a lovely rush hour tonight... That list can be misleading. An issue at Flatbush Junction or E 180th St can cause "delays" on the , when it only affects two lines/ one station.

Gong Gahou Posted May 4, 2017 Share #4386 Posted May 4, 2017 (edited) This doesn't make any sense. How can Northbound trains be running from Brighton Beach to Coney Island? You mean Southbound? Where do they start at though? Brighton Beach? There's no mistake, those were northbound trains, and they started at Brighton Beach. Coney Island was a through station and not a terminal for those trains at that time - it was treated just like any other local and express station. It is just like how the runs today; a 71st Street-bound train leaving Metropolitan Avenue is called a northbound train despite actually going roughly southwest.

Yeah, I kinda figured that once it was explained. I've just never heard of the being re-routed like that and was curious how exactly that setup worked. Thanks for clarifying further. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same thing is done sometimes when southbound trains gets rerouted via West End. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just like how the runs today; a 71st Street-bound train leaving Metropolitan Avenue is called a northbound train despite actually going roughly southwest. It's interesting also, because once a "northbound" train leaves Steinway Street, it's heading southeast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence St Posted May 6, 2017 Share #4392 Posted May 6, 2017 Technically from my perspective, Metropolitian Avenue still remains as the Northen terminal and Forest Hills is the southern terminal because the way how you look at the service cuts, the was rerouted from going downtown to going uptown. It's confusing but this is the way how I see it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the runs to Essex Street or Chambers Street, Metropolitan Avenue is the northern terminal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
