Abba Posted May 28, 2015 Share #3030 Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) Service Change Posted: 05/28/2015 12:01AM Due to a police investigation of a customer injury at Delancey St-Essex St, the following service changes are in effect: There is no train service between Broad St and Marcy Av in both directions. 71 Av bound M trains are running with delays. This train was the 23:07 out of Broad.The 22:31 out of Conteneal was stuck behind this train for about an hour.They tried to get a door panel into station but it failed. I wonder why they couldn't have Broad St Bound train service run until it cleared up. Edited May 28, 2015 by Abba 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allow additional travel time. I don't get why they have to knock the to 6th ave? If the trains are running with delays, then it makes sense to move some trains to a line without them. In this case, only the can be rerouted. Service frequency is a function of the slowest speed. If signal problems are slowing down trains, then you can run less of them through a given point along the line per unit of time. With a combined 30+ TPH from the , , and , a delay at 49 Street is sure to cause a conga line if some traffic isn’t rerouted. Run a simulation in your head. It makes sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abba Posted May 29, 2015 Share #3034 Posted May 29, 2015 But why not run them express and just skip 49th st? Don't tell me it's because of layups.move them out of the way! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alekr Posted May 29, 2015 Share #3037 Posted May 29, 2015 New wording: Service Change Posted: 05/29/2015 3:20PM Canarsie-Rockaway Pkwy bound trains are terminating at Myrtle Av, due to a train with mechanical problems at Wilson Av. Allow additional travel time. The BMT Broadway Line is always messed up anyway. The MTA needs to focus fixing the Broadway line. Especially north of 57th street. I know that in July the "Fastrack" will cover the Broadway line but not enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted May 29, 2015 Share #3038 Posted May 29, 2015 But why not run them express and just skip 49th st? Don't tell me it's because of layups.move them out of the way! Is there a crew just sitting around at 57 Street? No? Then they have to find an operator to move the train out of the way for trains to access the switches at 49 Street. The MTA isn't going to call in T/Os to move trains for a temporary service change. I don't see why they have to go To 6th Ave.I think it's too much. The idea is to maintain some semblance of normal service throughout the entire line. It's the same reason 2 and 5 trains are rerouted over to Lexington and 7th Avenues respectively. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CenSin Posted May 30, 2015 Share #3044 Posted May 30, 2015 I don't see why they have to go To 6th Ave.I think it's too much. Think of it this way: when a highway backs up, what is the first thing some smart folks do? They take the nearest exit, skip the congestion, and remerge back in where the congestion has cleared up. It’s worked miracles for my friends when the FDR gets severely clogged. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't store them anywhere else. City Hall Lower level is filled and before December 2010, they used to have those Rush Hour put ins stored at CIY and have them run light which was a real issue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
