Coney Island-bound A trains? That really is an MTA weekend service adjustment.

From 11:45 p.m. Friday, July 26 to 5 a.m. Monday, July 29, downtown 1 trains run express from 72nd Street to Times Square-42nd Street due to cable work for Flushing CBTC.

Flushing CBTC on the IRT Broadway line? HUH?!

MTA FAIL!

Coney Island Bound A trains (FOAM!)

The southbound local track passes above the Flushing line at Times Square. If there’s cable work going on in that area and the track has to be shut down, southbound 1 trains have to run express from 72nd.

Another fail:

The N,Q,R lines are all running via bridge but it states:

due to general maintenance and prep work on the Manhattan Bridge prior to the Montague tube shutdown.

How they can do work on the Broadway Line Manhattan Bridge side while all 3 lines are running on the bridge?

The (M) line shutdown: station renewal work on stations but the (J) is picking up the slack.

The MTA really needs to double check
