Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse with the (7) train disruptions, the MTA just announced a couple days ago that they will be suspending diamond <7> express service completely from October 27 which was yesterday until until November 21st. This comes as a huge letdown to Queens riders who rely on the (7) as a lifeline and specifically it's rush hour express service to get to work.
While true <7> service is already suspended already, as the line is only express between Mets-Willets Point and Junction Blvd and Junction Blvd and 61 St-Woodside, it's still a letdown to see the entire thing go completely for these outages in favor of more local service.
While all of this is unideal and will likely cause congestion and delays, in the end, when all is said and done, it will allow for track replacements that will provide huge reliability improvements along this busy line and will prepare the line for service over the next century.
