Posted by #5 - Dyre Ave on Tue Sep 16 13:55:59 2014, in response to Re: Rider's Wish List: (F) Brooklyn Express; Metro-North in Co-Op City; More rail service to Queens/, posted by Wallyhorse on Tue Sep 16 01:25:14 2014. "The real problem is what line would be put there to be the Culver Express? The best candidate to me would be the (C) after West 4th going with the (F) and (M) to Coney Island via the Culver Express (while the (F) and (G) both terminate at Church Avenue, except overnights when the (F) would continue to run as it does now). If you can manage 30-32 TPH stopping on the local track at Broadway-Lafayette, it can work."No, the best candidate would be the V. Not the 2001-2010 service that ran from Forest Hills, Queens, but rather a new V service that runs to/from the 2nd Ave subway. Culver el riders would get an express AND still have direct service to 6th Ave like they've had since 1954. This is because the V would start at Coney Island and go express between Church and Jay, while the F would start at Church and go local. While it would be a tight squeeze between the F, M and V trains on the 6th Ave local, it wouldn't be as bad as what you're proposing with the C, F and M trains. You're calling for 30-32 tph, while I'm suggesting 28tph (14 F, 8 M, 6 V). 28 tph is more manageable than 32. |
