Posted by Q Brightliner Harry on Sat Feb 18 23:32:46 2012, in response to Re: Lawmakers: southern Queens commuters need a new railway more than the QueensWay, posted by randyo on Sat Feb 18 15:24:35 2012. The Brighton Line has not had a lower Broadway/tunnel service since 1967. Only oldtimers such as you and myself even remember it. Thus, there really is no longer any tradition. In fact, the N via lower Broadway/tunnel is a more recent service, during the Manhattan Bridge repair, and is the current service overnight. I would make this the 24/7 service pattern for the N.More importantly, most passengers on both the Q and the N want to get to midtown and the Q has more passengers than the N. Ergo, fewer people would be inconvenienced by sending the N via tunnel. The N should be going via tunnel at all times. If the switches/wheel detectors or whatever allow switching from the 4th Av. express tracks to the tunnel tracks before Dekalb, it could remain running express in Brooklyn at the same times it does now. |
