4-5-6 still not running, so i dont know if it's even worth bothering to try to get up to the UES yet?
― bell_labs, Wednesday, 8 August 2007 14:40 (sixteen years ago) link
i had no problem with L. F was really backed up but still got me to work. now i am angry because i'd much rather be home getting ready for 6 am departure to buffalo tomorrow.

i was actually wondering if the rain wasn't a good cover for them to shut everything down because of some supposed terror plot.
― tehresa, Wednesday, 8 August 2007 16:43 (sixteen years ago) link
I dunno -- they seem to have been pretty consistent over the past years about, you know, any kind of rain, simultaneous air-conditioner leakage, excessive urination, or unpredicted dog-drool shutting the whole thing down.

Amid the commuter havoc, M.T.A.’s website, mta.info, shut down. It was the second time in several weeks that the website was not able to function during a transit crisis. The last one was during a minor blackout on the east side of Manhattan several weeks ago.

this summer is a notch warmer on average than last year, despite the absence of sustained ridiculous heat, but it's nothing like '05 (or '02 (or, especially, '99))

Eight people aboard a northbound 1 train were injured when it collided with a work train around 3 p.m., according to officials and an internal police report about the collision. The injuries were not considered life-threatening, but those passengers were taken to hospitals, the report said.

The crash so far: - Someone/someones pulled a bunch of emergency brake cords on a northbound No. 1 train at the 96th Street station - The No. 1s behind it were rerouted onto the express - One of those was crossing back when the stuck train somehow started moving again.— Nolan Hicks (@ndhapple) January 4, 2024
