by Benjamin Kabak

I went to sleep early on Friday night before an early wake-up call on Saturday for the Brooklyn Half and was out of the house all day Saturday for family obligations. So these are late.

Random, but does anyone know why the PATH has been running a 20 minute schedule on Sundays between JSQ/33? I haven’t been able to find any news stories or alerts on the website, only from PATH’s twitter alert page.

I took PATH last weekend and according to an alert I saw last weekend, it’s due to signal work.

I know, the alerts say that every week, but specifically what signal work are they doing? CTBC?

Why does the Queens Blvd. line run local just about every weekend? I rarely see much work being done. It often adds an extra 15-20 minutes each way to the trip when it runs local because the train will often go super slow in addition to running local.

The work might be on the express tracks under Northern Blvd where you can’t see them.

Last weekend, 15 subway lines were affected due to technical issues. Now, I learned that these lines are working well after repair.
