This is such a clusterfuck of changes that once again, majorly disrupts QBL service and a huge chunk of people who ride to or from Queens. Took me almost an hour to get from 63rd Drive to Midtown this afternoon, especially when you consider the already shitty weekend local train service. Seems like QBL never gets a break from major service disruptions.
Inbound E/F have to merge to R tracks at Roosevelt, with the R supposedly running every 15 minutes (more like 18-20), with the reverse situation happening when in the outbound direction. You essentially have E/F/R running local between Queens Plaza and Roosevelt, and have to hope neither of them arrive at a switch at the same time or else you're screwed.
And because there's construction on the express tracks just west of Roosevelt, ALL LINES slow to a painful 5mph between 65th St and Elmhurst Ave (including through the platforms at Roosevelt).
Whoever has to commute to work next week, god speed...and leave 20-30 minutes of extra time for these shenanigans.
