Posted by Michael549 on Fri Sep 19 12:09:36 2014, in response to Re: Culver Express, posted by #5 - Dyre Ave on Fri Sep 19 11:19:22 2014. Please note that when the V-train existed (from 2001-2010), the current version of the M-trains (From 71st Avenue to Metropolitan Avenue) did not exist, then (pre-2010) the M-train during rush hours was traveling between Metropolitan Avenue and Bay Parkway on the D-line.Pre-2010 when the issue of the F-train Brooklyn express idea came up, the idea was to extend the V-train from Second Avenue to Brooklyn. On Sixth Avenue there would not have been a combination of the F-train, M-train or V-train on the same tracks, because the M-train was not traveling on Sixth Avenue at that time, but that was pre-2010. As was discussed on this forum after 2010, when the M-train was re-routed to Queens Blvd to end at 71st Avenue, that discussions of a Brooklyn express service was practically moot simply due to the "trains-per-hour" limitation - there was no extra room for additional trains. So after 2010 the issue of the Brooklyn express moved from one of bringing additional trains, to one of splitting up F-train service into local and express halves. As was typical of each debate, Wallyhorse would create all sorts of schemes to relocate various train lines to service the Brooklyn portion of the F-train. And yes, he is still doing that. The issue of a Brooklyn F-express has been debated on this forum several times! Mike |
