Long Delays Again For Roosevelt Island F Train Riders This Morning - Long Lines For Roosevelt Island Tram Riders Too

Long delays at the Roosevelt Island F Train station this morning.

A Roosevelt Island resident reports:

Friday morning F train crowds on RI

After some people already waited for half an hour, the policeman just announced there are no downtown F trains and they don't know for how long.

Another resident adds:

50 minutes delay without any announcement from MTA in the platform.

Outrageous!

The Roosevelt Island Twitterverse reports:

@MTA can't you just make an announcement in Roosevelt island station that there is NO TRAIN stopping there?!?!?! You are wasting our time!!!

The F train subway problems caused long lines at the Roosevelt Island Tram too.

According to the MTA, the delays were caused by switch problems at West 4th Street.

Southbound B, C, D, E, F, G trains service changes and delays because of switch problems at W 4 St-Wash St. See https://t.co/vhZQ2kZ2vb

At least there will be Roosevelt Island F Train service to and from Manhattan this weekend - we hope.
