Posted by R36 #9346 on Thu Nov 17 01:32:39 2011, in response to Re: MTA overnight fixes in 2012 will shut down Manhattan subway lines for up to 4 days in a row, posted by Dupont Circle Station on Wed Nov 16 15:09:22 2011. The C and M would be suspended regardless since the closure will be in effect during overnight hours. I think they would end service on these lines early to get work trains and crew in place.I thought of another alternate service plan for the 6th Avenue closure. (D) Operates between 205th Street, Bronx, and Jay Street, Brooklyn, operating via 8th Avenue Express. Transfer between the (D) and the (J) at Fulton Street or Jay Street. Grand Street station CLOSED. Use nearby Bowery station on the J line. (Best route from Uptown: Transfer to F at West 4th, then transfer to J at Delancey.) (F) Operates via 53rd Street/8th Avenue Local between Roosevelt Avenue and West 4th Street. (J) Extended via the West End Line to Coney Island. (Q) Extended to 21st Street-Queensbridge. Shuttle bus connects this station with Queens Plaza for (E)(F) service. This split D/J service assumes that either B3 track at Bergen Street or A5 track between Lafayette Av and Clinton-Washington are available for use as a relay for the north section. Keep in mind that the A runs local along Fulton Street during this time. The South Brooklyn (D) section could also start at either Whitehall Street or City Hall on the Broadway line, but I've seldom seen Whitehall used as a north terminal (I hear there's a derail involved), and I'm quite sure the relay tracks for a City Hall terminal cannot accommodate a 600-foot-long train. I think this provides a fair balance between moving trains around the affected area and minimizing inconvenience for passengers. |
