Posted by Michael549 on Thu Jul 2 13:09:42 2015, in response to Re: M to West 4th on Weekends/Late Nights, posted by AlM on Thu Jul 2 11:47:00 2015. I know.I've said in the past, that I would re-create the W-train and operate it 24/7/365 as the local service to/from Astoria with its terminals being Whitehall Street (full-time), and Coney Island via the Sea Beach line (midnight hours), with additional rush hour service out of Canal Street/City Hall lower level and 9th Avenue stations. That way during the rush hours W-train operate every 5 minutes, the current service level of N & Q trains now. At the same time, I'd have both the N & Q trains operate out of 96th Street & Second Avenue. At 10-minutes between trains, this would have trains running every 5 minutes on Second Avenue. Both the N & Q trains would operate express along Broadway, over the Manhattan Bridge and to/from their respective terminals in Brooklyn. During the midnight hours, the N & R trains would stop running as usual, and the R-train would have its usual midnight shuttle operation. The W-train would be extended to Coney Island via Sea Beach (the N-train route) making all local stops, and allowing the usual transfers. This way on the BMT-Broadway line the pathways of the N & Q trains never have to cross the paths of the R & W trains. The similarity of the N & Q trains would make the terminal opeations at 96th Street easier. Just my ideas. Mike |
