Can you be a bit more specific? Which GTFS data are you using and what's its date? The latest available static GTFS schedule (release date not creation date) is dated Jan. 30, 2017.

It shows no #2 train scheduled to depart from Flatbush at 8:57:30. It does show a #2 trains scheduled to depart at 14:01?:30. However, no 30 second hold times are shown at any intermediate station. (The hold time is defined as the interval between scheduled departure and schedule arrival).

There is however a scheduled hold of 5 minutes at 238th St. The MTA's on time performance (OTP) metric is defined as a train being arriving at its terminal more than 5 minutes after its scheduled arrival. The scheduled 5 minute hold makes the OTP statistic look good.

The scheduled train id is: A20161106WKD_084150_2..N01R. This can be interpreted as follows:

A - division A (IRT)
20161106 - date that the schedule was created (6 Nov 2016)
WKD - weekday
084150 - scheduled departure in hundredths of minutes
2 - route id
N01R - route description (corresponds to route id in shape file)


Here's its schedule, that you can cut and paste into a spreadsheet.
