Posted by Wallyhorse on Fri Feb 17 14:27:11 2012, in response to Fasttrack on the 6th Ave B/D/F/M - - OFFICIAL PLANS, posted by Kriston Lewis on Fri Feb 17 13:07:06 2012. Things I would have done differently:There would have been no (E) service at all, with the (M) running all night via 8th Avenue and extended along QB to replace the (E) to Parsons-Archer (WTC platform would be closed). (M) also would have picked up a scheduled Queens G.O. the (E) has. (A) would have been local FastTrack ((C) ends early) with WTC passengers asked to walk to/from the (A) platform at Chambers for service. (D) would have run to 2nd Avenue via the (C) and then (F). If car availability from other lines allowed it (or an exception to the normal no-75 foot Eastern Division car rule made for FastTrack with (D)s running 300-foot trains), the (D) would have instead terminated at Essex to allow for a transfer to the (J) there. (J) would have been extended to 9th Avenue Brooklyn to replace the (D) to that point. That to me could have worked better and given Broadway-Brooklyn riders added service to Manhattan along the (M) for those nights since from West 4th on it would have replaced the (E). |
