Posted by Michael549 on Sun Oct 26 13:59:59 2014, in response to Re: Suggestion for mitigating this weekend's N/R/Q/D delays, posted by BrooklynTrain on Sat Oct 25 17:24:18 2014. My mistake, yes, you are right that this weekend, D and N trains travel south-bound on the Sea Beach line, and again uptown toward Manhattan both D & N trains travel on the West-End line. Basically cutting one direction of service on either the Sea Beach branch or the West End branch, while increasing the frequency of service on the direction that is in operation.You're talking about "extra service clogging DeKalb Avenue" - while I'm talking about making travel about Brooklyn more difficult and not direct. For me, it is not about the trains but the folks on weekends - doubling-back and forth just to get to their destinations - making travel on the weekends something only to be done if there are no alternatives, because it is a hassle. Yes, in southern Brooklyn, it appears that only the F-train is running un-affected until it reaches Jay Street, where the F-train shares its Manhattan-bound Rutger's Tunnel with A and C trains traveling to Manhattan. A routing of A & C trains that I know well, since it was often a hassle for me leaving Brooklyn to get to my destinations. The doubling-back and forth just makes travel on the weekends a hassle. You're trying to say, "take the F-train" less hassle, without acknowledging that "getting to the F-train" can also be a hassle. Yes, the trains end up someplace helpful for the trains, however plenty of riders may not find the service as helpful. Mike |
