BM5 via Woodhaven Posted September 12, 2017 Share #4601 Posted September 12, 2017 Why would they not be able to turn like the trains do? The alone isn't a problem, since it has around 8 minute headway, so that's about 7 trains per hour that are being turned. Now, several trains were turning at Church Avenue as well, so those extra have to turn. For now it should still be decent. My guess is that the place too much burden, if several trains, along with 's, are turning around at Church Avenue. Additionally, it would have likely delay service even more. The 's to Church ran express, to not hold up local-through trains. If the ran to Church, it would have to run local, and then there would be greater delays on service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel The Cool Posted September 19, 2017 Share #4603 Posted September 19, 2017 How about turning at 4th ave-9th street? They would have to end at Smith-9th Street and relay on the express tracks north of 4th Avenue-9th Street. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abba Posted September 19, 2017 Share #4604 Posted September 19, 2017 I meant that . Or they can turn at Euclid maybe? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel The Cool Posted September 19, 2017 Share #4605 Posted September 19, 2017 I meant that . Or they can turn at Euclid maybe? No. There was already congestion on 8th Avenue. Plus the was ending early when the incident started so it really didn't get affected by it except by 1-3 trains if any. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric B Posted October 9, 2017 Share #4610 Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) Since the (F)s are running Bway-West End this weekend, then the ones running to 96th are like a combination of the original 🅣 and the future phase 3 and 4 .

I had the pleasure of getting stuck in this mess and being late to class, the delays reached as far as the Bronx... My ran local in the Bronx instead of express (which was fine since that happens occasionally) but we were held at 161st Street for 10 minutes, and again at 145th for 20 minutes when the conductor said we would be going on the line. We made local stops along CPW, got stalled at 81st Street for 20 minutes, again at 59th for 5 minutes when the conductor said we would be going on the 6th Avenue line again, went one stop to 7th Avenue, and got stuck for another 30 minutes. I finally gave up and walked to 49th Street to catch the (R). On my way to Union Square, I saw a on the express track probably heading to 96th Street. A 50 minute commute ended up taking two hours, and I think my conductor also mentioned a power outage at Rockefeller Center. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have still transferred at Times Square for the , or even another walk from the to 2nd Ave at 96th or 86th for the . Maybe because I have an unlimited metrocard, I don't hesitate to make out of system transfers if necessary. A few times delays have been so bad on Queens Blvd that I've bailed and taken the Q60 to Jamaica (thanks Transit App!) Or even in system transfers, the QBL had a "broken rail condition" Northbound between Roosevelt Ave and Queens Plaza, (all trains were on one track ) I transferred from the at 42nd st for the to bypass the congestion and catch the next or at Roosevelt Ave. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BxM2 has been a mess here of late at night, so I opted for the to get home. So much for that. Service was suspended entirely from 137th down to Grand Central, so then I took the over to Metro-North, but missed the damn connection, so it took me almost two hours to get home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
