Worst congestion ever last night - trains backed up on the bridge, all the way to 23rd St (N/Q)!!
Posted by BrooklynTrain on Sat Dec 16 12:56:28 2017 Took over 2 hours to get home last night at 11:30pm from 23rd St (N/Q) to Bay Ridge. N & Q trains were literally stopped dead and sitting in stations from 23rd St all the way downtown & over the bridge. Nothing was moving at all. Conductor made an announcement that there was extreme congestion on bridge. I checked on SubwayTime and saw there were still severely delayed southbound R trains running at 12:30am that were stuck somewhere on 4th Ave (which were due at 95th by midnight). When the N finally got to 59th around 1am, I saw from SubwayTime there were 3 N's immediately in front of us, and then I saw 4 N's in a row, pulling in, back to back to back to back. Of course we just missed the 12:56am single-track shuttle to Bay Ridge, so the long wait for the next shuttle happened. Announcements were being made in Manhattan for uptown passengers to take the 4 or 6 due to severe delays in N & Q service. Of course there were no N & Q's running uptown, since they were all stuck in a massive HOUR-PLUS DEAD STOP going downtown. We understand track work needs to occur. But you don't just shut down all train traffic for over an hour where trains come to a dead stop. Everything was forced over the bridge and everything was forced thru 4th Ave local, so there were no reroutes via tunnel or 4th Ave express that could have alleviated the jam. The Governor and Mr. Lhota need to offer an explanation for last night's absolute FIASCO. I'll be contacting the newspapers & politicians over last night.

Considering the volume at that late hour, shouldn't we be looking for an incident beyond reroute congestion?

This is the new way of doing things right now..... Trackwork starting at 10pm without appropiate supplements.... Until the new supplements are out, expect stuff like this to occur...

These delays happen all over the system and the site sometimes says "Good Service" it's really getting out of control.

Mostly because they are trying to untangle the delays and do not have time to ditz with the web boards., Sure they got peeps to do that, but the dudes untangling the mess do not have time for the webnerds. ROAR

They do have time to post, they have a dedicated team on the social media side. Must be a weekend off for them.

I'm sorry it happened that way but the Cuomo/Lhota administration wants to start these GO's earlier while lots of trains are out there with relatively short intervals and lines like the B//C/W still running. Not that they count, but the crews don't like those double-the-running-time trips either. They lose their recovery time. Their overtime is blood money. It puts more stress on terminal dispatchers.

Northbound train congestion was really worst again around 2pm. Worst I have seen in 3 months.

The TA has always detested Unlimited Monthly Metrocards. In their eyes, people on weekends are getting free rides. So they don't give a shit how much they disrupt service, and gives the impression they are catching up with infrastructure.
