When we checked the MTA's Service Alerts for NYC Transit early this morning, there was only a note was flooding causing issues with F service between Jamaica-179th Street Station and the Forest Hills-71st Avenue Station. Now there's a laundry list of subway issues:
Due to a water condition at the Parsons Boulevard Station, there is no F train service between the Jamaica-179th Street Station and the Forest Hills-71st Avenue Station.
- Stations being bypassed are:169th Street, Parsons Boulevard, Sutphin Boulevard and Briarwood-Van Wyck Expressway.
- As an alternate route, customers are advised to take the Q43 bus to the Sutphin Boulevard and Jamaica Avenue bus stop and take the j train at the Supthin Boulevard Station.Also, due to a water condition at the 65th Street Station:
- There is no V train service the entire line.
- There is no E and R train service between the Queens Plaza Station and the Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Avenue Station.
- There is no F train service between the 21St Street-Queensbridge Station and the Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Avenue Station.
- As an alternate customers are advised to take the Q60 bus, J, 7, N trains to and from Manhattan.In addition, due to a water condition at the Kingsbridge Road Station, 205th Street-bound D trains are running express between the Tremont Avenue Station and the Bedford Park Boulevard Station.
- Stations being bypassed are: 182nd Street-183rd Street, Fordham Road and Kingsbridge Road.
- For service to bypassed stations customers are advised to take the 205th Street-bound d train to the Bedford Park Boulevard Station and take a Coney Island-bound D train.Please expect delays in service on the D, E, F and R trains at this time.
Also expect delays on the B - one B express ended up waiting in the station for 5 minutes for a B express-turned-local to arrive, to collect confused, annoyed passengers. There are also service alerts for LIRR, Metro-North, and LI Bus.
There have been delays on bridges, tunnels and highways, due to the weather and flooding. Naturally, there are tons of delays at the airports - Newsday reports that the FAA has put the "Traffic Management Program" into effect at JFK and LaGuardia. To discuss: Doesn't "Traffic Management Program" sounds like something that should be in effect every day?
Shocker: Power outages reported in NYC, mostly Queens. (Remember, Con Ed blamed lightning for some recent power outages.)
