Posted by randyo on Sat Nov 29 16:13:49 2014, in response to Re: Subway Planning, posted by BusRider on Fri Nov 28 19:40:26 2014. Not different car lengths but different train lengths. At one time, the cars service was included in the actual timetable. At some point, car service was removed from the actual printed timetable and car service was specified in notices that went into effect along with the timetable. That also meant that if ridership warranted, car service could be changed during a pick without having to issue a supplement for the actual timetable. I believe I addressed the variations in car services in my post. The only time that I recall car service being included in the actual timetable was the #6 in the early 1980s when trans that would normally turn at Parkchester went through to Pelham at the end of the AM rush so that they could be cut 5 X 5 for the midday. Just before the start of the PM rush, the 5 car Parkchester trains would run through to Pelham where they would be added back to 10s and the required additional 10 car parkchester trains would be put in from parkchester. The reason was that with there being only one relay tack N/O Parkchester and that didn't provide a proper facility for cutting 10 car trains and sending them back out as 5 car consists. Needless to say it didn’t last very long since it was a royal pain to operate. |
