Posted by Michael549 on Sat Jul 4 15:03:54 2015, in response to Re: M to West 4th on Weekends/Late Nights, posted by Joe V on Sat Jul 4 14:28:55 2015. From a previous message:"You keep bringing up these crossover issues even though they are not applicable on weekends, and you keep not paying attention." ---------- The criss-crossing of trains occurred on the IRT West-side lines at all hours as reported. It is a fact that the criss-crossing of trains occurred at the DeKalb AVenue station at all hours! That is why the TA changed its operations - even on the weekends! Even in the face of many transit fans who argued for months that "the weekends are different". The criss-crossing of A & C trains still occurs on the weekends! The criss-crossing of N, Q and R trains still occurs on the weekends! I've been in traffic tie-ups on the N, Q & R that meant that I missed a ferry on the weekends! You and others say that somehow "the weekends are different" - except that you've also said that the weekends are NOT different, using expanded ridership as the basis for your ideas on the M-train. The D and F trains are straight railed on Sixth Avenue in both directions and do not cross paths. This basic idea at West 4th Street has not changed! The proposal would have the F-trains remain straight railed, the D-trains crossing into & out of the path of F-trains, and the M-trains crossing into and out of the paths of both D and F-trains. You and some others say that somehow "the weekends are different". That the much, much more plentiful riders on the other lines would not be affected. The expanded ridership on the M-train does not come any where close to the expanded ridership on the other lines. That is a fact. As I said, I disagree! I have produced the ridership numbers, and the historical patterns of change. Then I get accused of "not paying attention." We just plainly dis-agree! I was asked a question - I answered it. We just plainly dis-agree. Mike |
