Posted by Wallyhorse on Sun Feb 19 08:36:35 2012, in response to Re: Lawmakers: southern Queens commuters need a new railway more than the QueensWay, posted by Joe V on Sat Feb 18 14:26:33 2012. While I agree the (M) would be the ideal line to operate on an QB-Rockaway branch, remember, if this does come back, it likely is going to be a company based in Malaysia (Genting) that is paying for it, and they may very well want such a line to make it easier for those in lower Manhattan and the Financial District to get to the Casino/Convention Center without going through Brooklyn.That company may or may not have people who fully understand the transit system like we do, and that's why as I would do it, a new (W) would be the line that serves such a new branch while the (D) and (R) swap Brooklyn terminals (to prevent yard issues on the (R)) with the (R) also going back to being the main Astoria line (via West End) and the (N) supplementing the (R) 16.5/5 (5:30AM-10:00PM Mon.-Fri.) and supplementing the (Q) on the SAS the rest of the time. I suspect Genting would want any QB-Rockaway branch to serve lower Manhattan if they are paying for it not realizing that may not be the fastest way to Aqueduct. |
