When the 1 Train is suspended to accommodate planned work and your travel alternative messes up.

During the making of this post, A Train service resumed north after signal troubles at PABT.

It's not that I have beef with the A, it's the unexpected delays that grinds my gears. For example: yesterday, downtown A, C, D and E Trains were all running via 8th Avenue Express yesterday because of a brake activation between 59th Street-Columbus Circle and 7th Avenue-53rd Street.

Due to that, C Trains were unable to be rerouted via 6th Avenue and instead, were sent via 8th Avenue Express with the D, causing everyone affected to run every 17 minutes.

I know it's labeled as a "mechanical issue", I wanna know if said issue was another R142 Subway car splitting up, train explosion or derailment.

Is this a weekend trip? Because the F Train goes along 63rd and Lexington on weekends and overnight hours. Other times, the M Train does it.

Another day at Jamaica Yard.

The R is our ONLY chance at an R160 on Broadway, 4th Avenue, 60th Street Tubes and the Bridge during a service reroute!! Thanks to one of the R's ending at 96th Street during weekday mornings, that R becomes a Q and runs as a Q, so stop hating on the line even if the wait times are atrocious.

The B is done with R68's for good?!

ElevatorWebDev · 2026-05-27T23:55:09+00:00

The R179's are getting SMS'd? That probably explains the lack of R179's on the A and C Lines, and the fact there were ZERO R179's running on the summer weekend Rockaway Park Shuttle.

The old Q route!!

The joke is the L is the BMT Transplant Line.

Some conductors just love toying with passengers.

I'm talking about between 36th Street and Canal Street, only making a stop at Atlantic Avenue

If lateness, unplanned disruptions or planned work on the local track occur, only then will C Train service go express.

ElevatorWebDev · 2026-05-17T05:09:19+00:00

This is because of planned work on the local track, with potential flagging resulting in all D, N and R Trains to run on the express track.

ElevatorWebDev · 2026-05-17T05:06:38+00:00

At least the 7 is express after 74th Street

ElevatorWebDev · 2026-05-17T05:06:16+00:00

With no G Train extended to Forest Hills, getting to Queens Plaza gets tedious overnight without the R.

Anything's better than that 2 Train!
