Posted by WillD on Sun Jun 10 00:52:58 2012, in response to Re: Increase in L train service, posted by Easy on Sun Jun 10 00:03:31 2012. Exactly. And once you lengthen the platforms you've invested that money and are pretty much SOL for any further increase in demand. We'd be better off pooling the (more than likely) billion dollars that'd be invested lengthening the Canarsie Line platforms into extending the line to a terminal which can fully exploit the new signalling system. Perhaps an extension to Chelsea Piers and a terminal station with a flying crossover between the two terminal tracks such that crossing moves can be made into and out of the terminal simultaneously.Hell, extend the Flushing line down its 1200 foot long tail tracks to a terminal station at 23rd shared with the Canarsie Line where each line gets a flying crossover on their respective ends and 600+ foot tail tracks along the other line's ROW in the opposite direction. I just can't figure out a way to do cross platform transfers in a manner that doesn't involve fumigating the trains and taking them back onto those tail tracks. |
