itmaybeokay Posted August 17, 2015 Share #676 Posted August 17, 2015 As a matter of fact, I take back what I said (my agreement with RtrainBlues)...Short turning trains isn't the answer. Yes, but neither is track work and lowering the headways the answer either. Why can't the just save all of this track-work for overnights/weekends? That would be the ideal, yes. From the various news reports that I've found, it claims that the reason for the service cuts is as follows: Yes, there is work happening on the N/B exp track (D4) that requires a 24/7 10mph speed restriction. I don't know what kind of work would require that 24/7 and not just overnights but perhaps someone with more knowledge can chime in. Anyway, that means reduced capacity for E/F with some going via local (D2) which requires cutting service on local. For what it's worth, they did specifically time this cut to coincide with traditionally the lowest ridership of the year. That doesn't mean anyone is happy about it. Personally, I plan to avoid it entirely as it's an 11 minute walk from my house to the M/R and an 18 minute walk to the N/Q. Better to have a known extra 7 minutes than an unknown extra ??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RestrictOnTheHanger Posted August 17, 2015 Share #677 Posted August 17, 2015 Took the R going to Manhattan in the morning and the M fron Manhattan just a little while ago. On the R, we were a bit slow on the QBL but nothing major. We spent more time following a slow N/Q through 60th St. The M ran normal coming home, no noticeable difference 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulrivera Posted September 5, 2015 Share #684 Posted September 5, 2015 I'm surprised they're not cutting the back to 2nd Avenue and sending the to Euclid while having the run to Church Avenue by itself: No trains between Church Av and Stillwell Av Free shuttle buses provide alternate service Weekend, 11:30 PM Fri to 5 AM Mon, Sep 25 - 28 And this is probably when the R32's will show up on the , since the bulk of the 8-car R160s would be stuck on the IND side by default after dark Service ends early between Essex St and 71 Av trains provide alternate service Evenings, beginning 9:45 PM, Tue to Thu, Sep 8 - 10 Evenings, beginning 8 PM, Mon to Thu, Sep 14 - 17 • Sep 21 - 24 service operates between Metropolitan Av and Essex St, then via the to/from Chambers St. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted September 5, 2015 Share #686 Posted September 5, 2015 I'm not making a complaint here, but does anyone know what work is being performed with the numerous GO's? In Lower Manhattan, its Courtlandt Street station work. They can only use work trains to bring materials in to rebuild Courtlandt Street station since the rest of the WTC site is basically rebuilt, work trains is the only way to get the construction materials down there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious2train Posted September 5, 2015 Share #687 Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) To add on, as per the MTA, all the trackwork in the Cortlandt St area has to be completed by next June, because that's when rehab work in the Clark St tunnels will begin.

On the bright side (if there is one) the train could have a more prominent role if/when they do multiple weekend shutdowns like with the Cranberry tubes, instead of the useless/borderline non-existent role the has now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
