Overnight on the Subway: 23 Alerts on the Final Night of Late-Night Work — No 4, 6 or G Service on Key Stretches, D Trains Delayed

Riders out after midnight faced the full late-night work board. In the MTA real-time feed as carried by SubwayInfo.nyc overnight, there were no 4 trains between Grand Central-42 Street and Utica Avenue/New Lots Avenue in Brooklyn and no 6 trains between Grand Central-42 Street and Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall, for Fastrack track work; 4 and 6 trains ran local between the Bronx and Grand Central, and 3 trains replaced 4 service in Brooklyn. There was also no G service between Bedford-Nostrand Avenues and Court Square, with free T403 shuttle buses making the stops in between.

Unplanned trouble layered on top of the planned work. Downtown D trains were delayed while crews investigated why a train's brakes were activated at Broadway-Lafayette Street, and uptown D trains were delayed after a train whose brakes were activated at 36th Street was moved. E and F trains ran with delays in both directions for track maintenance in Queens, Staten Island Railway trains were delayed in both directions because fallen leaves were making the rails slippery, and Brooklyn-bound F trains were rerouted, skipping 21 Street-Queensbridge, Roosevelt Island, Lexington Avenue/63 Street and 57th Street.

The late-night suspensions are the final night of the planned-work windows that have run Monday to Friday, Nov. 2-6, roughly 9:30 p.m. to 5 a.m. — the same windows return Nov. 9-13 on the 4 and 6. The feed counted 280 trains running systemwide in the overnight hours. Riders heading out before dawn should check the feed again before leaving: the work windows lift at 5 a.m., but the D, E and F delays are unplanned and can outlast them.
