I hope you accidentally typed the wrong reason for the 5 suspension between East 180 Street and Eastchester-Dyre Avenue.
Is there a public recording anywhere of that problem solvers session?
I have a basic question about all these weekend and late night closures, which leave this supposed 24-hour system something less than 24-hour: what is the purpose of these shutdowns if each week there are delays caused by faulty equipment? I unfortunately am stuck with the Lexington Avenue line as my principal subway line. Just today, there were ‘signal problems’ at 14th Street-Union Square on the 4-5-6 lines. What on earth kind of work are they doing on weekends and late nights, when this type of a thing occurs on a weekly basis? It’s absurd.
