Only a few petulant, ignorant asshats said "nobody" wanted Nassau thru service. There was significantly greater demand for direct Midtown service that happened to coincide with the need to improve operational efficiency so the southern route lost out. As I said then and various other times, eventually the ridership numbers will again justify some kind of thru service. Not that many people seem to give what I say much attention or credence...The J last ran in scheduled service to the south in 2001 for about 6 weeks right after 9/11. Before that, it ran through to Brighton from 1967 until 1973. I suspect they will have no choice but to run the J/Z pattern into Brooklyn unless they do away with Skip-Stop on the Jamaica end. All it takes is one train laying down anywhere between Broad and 9th Av and Nassau service will be borked and ripple all the way to JC. |
