Caelestor Posted March 28, 2020 Share #3002 Posted March 28, 2020 The is cut back to E 180 St, so the net result in Manhattan is that 7 Ave loses an express train for the weekend. On the other hand, Brooklyn gets to keep the (via Lex) when normally it would just be the running. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still need a 7th Av Express, so gets to be a primary service. I just don’t get why isn’t just a shuttle to 180th St with running its M-F route. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s also the lack of crews to run both the and as full services (mentioned earlier) and the being a shuttle all weekend. and who knows if 96 St and 86 St are reopening yet? So in that case, the would have to end at Times Square 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing that with lower ridership, the schedules are operating with such precision that if it was sustainable, de-interlining would be extreme crazy talk. Hopefully someone’s paying attention to this, comparing it to all the data on runtimes and delays during “normal” ops and figuring out ways to make the system run smoothly when the new normal shows up. Notwithstanding his current crisis performance, Cuomo sacking Byford was stupid - especially now that this crisis could be useful in fixing the service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkstar8983 Posted March 29, 2020 Share #3012 Posted March 29, 2020 Looks like a more extreme version of the service reductions I predicted have come to pass with the mass crew shortages Lines running on “12 minute headways” with Maybe some gaps 42nd St lines running every “20 minutes“ lines running approximately every 30 minutes lines running less frequently (40 minutes to one hour between trains) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Train is on 12-15 minutes headways with occasional gaps and the Train is on 30 minutes headways. On a bombshell note, Trains are now running as shuttle between Metropolitan Avenue and Myrtle Avenue now which isn't surprising.

Snowblock Posted March 31, 2020 Share #3017 Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) Over the weekend the was running 60 minute headways between 137 and New Lots on the midnight. All they had available were the 6 shuttle crews that are normally out of 148 to 42. Since the was running down the east side, that meant 60 minutes between trains at Park Place-Hoyt.

Snowblock Posted April 2, 2020 Share #3025 Posted April 2, 2020 In case you've been living under a rock for the last week, there was a really bad fire at 110-Lenox. With this GO, there can't be service running on the Lenox Ave line so that the station can be repaired with unhindered track access. As I stated above, there are not enough midnight crews to run 137-New Lots on a reasonable headway and at this time we're having enough trouble filling regular jobs, let alone create GO jobs. So gets suspended, the runs down the east side to Flatbush and that leaves the as the sole West Side service on the midnights, as well as the only service who can make the Park Place-Atlantic run. The M55 is already free, so can be used to go Chambers to South Ferry (and no, there's no work being done on that portion). Due to lack of midnight crews and no GO crews being hired, this 242-Atlantic service will run at a minimum of every 30 minutes. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
