Posted by Wallyhorse on Fri Aug 17 02:48:53 2012, in response to Re: MTA says sorry! ... Major problems at Dekalb Av - (B) (D) (N) (Q) (R) trains, posted by FYBklyn1959 on Thu Aug 16 10:13:52 2012. What I would do is rebuild the Shuttle line back to two tracks and at least 480' platforms with the idea of making it into a through line with a new connection that would connect it to the existing Myrtle Avenue line (including a rebuilt upper level of Myrtle Avenue) that can be a new Myrtle-Brighton line running 24/7 as a local to Coney Island along Prospect Park, absorbing both the Franklin Avenue Shuttle AND the weekend (M) shuttle between Myrtle and Metropolitan Avenue. This would also have connections at Myrtle to the Broadway Brooklyn Line that in an emergency like the one we just had could have allowed (with 60 foot cars only) the (B) to run via the Willy B and the Broadway Line to reach this new line and vice versa to the 6th Avenue line with the (M).The new line (that as mentioned previously on this I would designate as a "Black V" would have two new stations besides a rebuilt upper level of Myrtle Avenue: A rebuilt Sumner Avenue station from the old Myrtle El and most likely one with a transfer to the (G) at Bedford-Nostrand. This would be a local 24/7 to Coney Island with the (B) serving as a second local to Coney Island on weekdays and the (Q) becoming the full-time Brighton Express (24/7). |
