Anyone know the reason for the curtailment of the M line thru service this evening?

GO in Queens. As of 9:45 PM R trains run express from Queens Plz. to CTL.

Can't run 4 services thru there.

Would have been better to run the M to 57-6, instead of Essex, though.

Cannot tern trains at 57th... It is now a through station. It can be a terminal or a station, but not both.

They have had G.O's where the M ended at 57th while the F was using it as a though station.. I think they can pull it off in the PM after the rush if F headways at the time is a same or longer than the weekend F.

Whenever the turned the M @ 57/6 for a weekend GO the track they used was available as the F was coming into or leaving Manhattan via 53rd. St.

Bill from Maspeth said "Whenever the turned the M @ 57/6 for a weekend GO the track they used was available as the F was coming into or leaving Manhattan via 53rd. St."

In early 2014 I took a Queens bound F which pulled into the station as soon as the M left going southbound on the Queens bound track. CI bound F trains were running thru 57th as well. There were platform conductors to advise passengers of changes but of they were standing around talking to each other rather than their job.

If you had a question why not walk up to one of them. They certainly would have helped.

My answer was based on the info in "Current Service Status" at the time I arrempted to answer the question. It is to continue till Thursday evening.

Why it is not noted on your link is beyond my control.

M service is to be cut back to Essex Street due to a GO (Roadbed replacement) on Queens Blvd south of Van Wyck/Briarwood on D2. GO begins at 2200 hours (10PM) until 5AM beginning yesterday, Monday, for three nights. Looks like M service may have been cutback a little early.
