iGeMiNix Posted May 21, 2017 Share #1403 Posted May 21, 2017 (edited) So is the running in two sections, besides the construction, just for internal crew purposes like with the Broadway Junction ? Since I don't really see the difference of those from 125 St to Brooklyn Bridge just being extra trains that could just turn at 3rd Ave - 138 St which from what I can tell is where they are being turned around anyways.

I think its to prevent people on Lexington Av to wait hours for a to come. Most people dont read the signs or listen to the announcements. If you run those (4)s as (6)s, I think there will still be a lot of people waiting for the to come which wont show up lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And whose fault is that? I would make it clear you are supposed to pay attention. I would either have those trains signed as going to 138th-3rd Avenue or they go as replace the along certain aspects. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what should a tourist do if their guidebook says take the , all the signage in the station says and there is insufficient signage explaining that the is suspended? Cardinal rule of running anything public: Never ever ever assume someone can deduct the correct information by just observing their surroundings. Make it painfully obvious. Signing these trains as trains= painfully obvious. I fully support the move. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot about the obvious distinction for just being more simple and obvious for people since no s were running either. Perhaps if the were running, that might have probably ran to Brooklyn Bridge local and the would just go from Woodlawn to 125 St. Edited May 23, 2017 by iGeMiNix 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal rule of running anything public: Never ever ever assume someone can deduct the correct information by just observing their surroundings. Make it painfully obvious. Signing these trains as trains= painfully obvious. I fully support the move. I learned my lesson on that the hard way a number of years ago. The rule is, you need to pay attention and realize that situations are subject to change. The guidebooks need to note that there often is work on the lines and lines themselves are subject to change without notice and people should pay attention. That's why I would have either had the to go 138th and 3rd OR make it clear the was only running to 125 and all passengers had to take the to 125 to get the . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallyhorse Posted May 31, 2017 Share #1410 Posted May 31, 2017 At least this time, the is not being suspended on Belmont Stakes day (unlike past years). With that being a much bigger day whether the Triple Crown is on the line or not (it's not this year), I wonder if NYRA (which is run by the state) convinced the NOT to do any Broadway-Brooklyn G.O.'s that Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted May 31, 2017 Share #1411 Posted May 31, 2017 Again, how many people are making that trip through the local and the LIRR via Sutphin-Jamaica? That's a ridiculous trip that no sane person would actually take. Most spectators would more likely just drive to the stakes or take the LIRR direct. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a ridiculous trip that no sane person would actually take. Most spectators would more likely just drive to the stakes or take the LIRR direct. Most people make that trip via the to Parsons-Archer and then take the Q110 bus to Belmont Park, which stops much closer to the Grandstand than the LIRR does (a route I did many times as especially on Belmont Stakes Day they run as many Q110s as needed). No one takes the to the LIRR. Most using the subway take the or and Q110 as noted. Especially, since they run so many Penn-Belmont trains... A lot of people like me avoid the LIRR on Belmont Stakes Day because those trains are often SRO (especially with the TC on the line). Though it's almost certainly faster going back now than in the past, the security measures used often mean long waiting times on the back end whereas no wait for the Q110 (especially if you are willing to stand on that). That's why NOT having a GO on the on Belmont Stakes day is important. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S78 via Hylan Posted June 1, 2017 Share #1414 Posted June 1, 2017 Those weekends involving the don't help me since I have to be at work Sundays at 4:00 in the morning. And I don't plan to take any shuttle buses either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N6 Limited Posted June 2, 2017 Share #1415 Posted June 2, 2017 You'd be surprised how packed the Q110 and Q2's are on Belmont Stakes Day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Q2 and Q110 are both jammed on Belmont Stakes Day. The last time I took the LIRR back from Belmont on Belmont Stakes Day, I actually walked over to the Queens Village Station and took the Hempstead train back. No crowd on that train at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
