Posted by #5 - Dyre Ave on Tue Sep 16 13:28:26 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. Doesn't the current M service count as a service improvement for the riders of the Myrtle Ave el? Even if it was, technically, a service cut?Only way I can really see bringing back the V is contingent upon 2nd Ave opening. SAS will have spare capacity - unless they're planning to run Q trains there on 3-minute headways, which I doubt. So here goes: Run the V weekdays from Stillwell Ave to 96th & 2nd (Lex/125th upon opening of SAS Phase 2) via the Culver el and express between Church and Jay. Then local via 6th Ave to Lex/63rd. Switch over to the Broadway "side" of Lex and turn north onto the SAS from there. The F would stay local in Brooklyn and operate on or near its current headways. It would operate to/from Church Ave when the V is in operation and to/from Stillwell when the V is not running. Doing it this way allows the F to continue to serve the heavier stations from Church Ave north, on or close to its current headways, while giving the lower-usage stations below Church an express without over-serving those stations. I admit it would be a tight fit on the 6th Ave local tracks with the F, M and V trains running there. This V service wouldn't be able to run more than 6-7 tph in order to fit with the F and M. And we know the M isn't getting sent back to Nassau St. |
