HELL'S KITCHEN: NYC Total subway nightmare -- again!
Trains diverted, riders stranded in the 1000s...
Delay-weary straphangers endured yet another morning of crippling service changes Tuesday. Once again, signal problems appeared to be the primary cause.
Uptown B, D, F and M lines began to experience delays around 6:30 a.m., with at least one train stalled in between stops for more than 20 minutes as an MTA conductor warned of signal problems at Herald Square. Regular uptown service on the B and D halted entirely for a time and trains were rerouted to Penn.
At Broadway-Lafayette, frustrated customers had to transfer trains at times only to be told they had to transfer yet again. Trains had started rolling again on their usual routes by about 8 a.m., but the MTA warned of extensive delays. But then -- the signal problems returned, suspending B train service between Brighton Beach Avenue and Bedford Park Boulevard by 8:15 a.m. Northbound D and F trains were being rerouted on the C and E lines
