Posted by Allan on Mon Sep 15 15:25:31 2014, in response to Rider's Wish List: (F) Brooklyn Express; Metro-North in Co-Op City; More rail service to Queens/S.I., posted by Gold_12th on Mon Sep 15 14:18:19 2014. I read that (while on the subway) and I take issue with this:"MTA spokesman Adam Lisberg said there are operational challenges in implementing express service. For instance, there is less track space for trains between the Bergen and Jay street stops where the rails merge, he said. "It's not as simple as just throwing on extra trains, because they all have to end up merging together," Lisberg said." Would there really be less track space since the F express track is a separate track south of Jay. The only possible "bottleneck" would be where the N/B F express merges south of Jay. If they scheduled the F trains properly ten there shouldn't be a problem. After all, the service was in place until 1987 and there didn't seem to be any major issues. (Maybe someone should get Adam Lisberg a copy of the track map for that area. |
