Q-Catastrophe This Morn
As I suspected, the switch back to Q-only trains at "the Q at Parkside" left a bevy of bewildered travelers on the platform. Remember, only local trains from now on - bye-bye B. And if you're traveling today (and probably through the week), leave a bit more time for your trip. This morning, trains were super-crowded and painfully slow. Thank god for brick-breaker on the blackberry. To all those who rely on the B for your commute, we'll miss you! Thankfully, the Caton entrance to the Church stop ain't too far to walk for Calendonians.

I was girded for the possibilities but it was really horrible this morning. I only hope that this isn't the new normal.
Even though I was prepared for the change, it was a nightmare this morning. There were two B trains for each Q, so impossible to get on a Q, then the train chugged along in slow motion. I had expected announcements about this on the B last week (for those who do not read this blog), but of course that would have been too logical.
How long was the B running local? I've only lived in the neighborhood a year and a half, so I just know that it's been at least that long.
It's been two solid years of bliss. Soon enough, we'll forget what was. Still, it's not gonna be pleasant watching the B whiz by while freezing your huevos off in January.
If you haven't before, try the B41 to Prospect Park, particularly if you're coming from points east.
