Posted by Michael549 on Thu Jul 9 01:44:56 2015, in response to Re: Ways to improve C & R trains, posted by Stephen Bauman on Thu Jul 9 00:12:54 2015. A few days ago when I brought up this suggestion, there was a question about the time schedule of the N and Q trains. I looked up the individual published download-able schedules of both the N & Q trains leaving Astoria, I noted the following.The current N-train schedule has N-trains leaving Ditmars Blvd at 5:27am, 5:37a, 5:47am, 5:57am, 6:07am, 6:17am, 6:27am, 6:37am, 6:47am, 6:57am, 7:07am, 7:17am, 7:27am, 7:37am, 7:48am, 7:56am, 8:08am, 8:16am, 8:23am, 8:30am, 8:37am, 8:44am, 8:54am, 9:05am, 9:15am, 9:25am, 9:35am, 9:45am and so on. While the current Q-train schedule has Q-trains leaving Ditmars Blvd at 6:02am, 6:12am, 6:22am, 6:32am, 6:42am, - Then every 10 minutes until: 8:12am, 8:19am, 8:26am, 8:33am, 8:41am, 8:52am, 9:03am, 9:12am, 9:20am, 9:29am, 9:39am, 9:49am and so on. I really do not want to argue, I can only go by what's published, and I'm not good at making schedules. In any case, the suggestion concerning the revived W-train was that the train frequency levels would be the same or similar to what's currently provided even if the service is provided by "one line." I gave an estimate of train frequency. I am sure that the folks at the MTA would figure out a schedule that allows a revived W-train to easily handle a regular terminal at Whitehall Street, additional rush hour service to/from 9th Avenue, as well as additional rush hour service originating/ending at Canal Street/City Hall lower level, and how incorporate midnight service to/from Coney Island, taking over for the N-train. In any case thanks for the information. Mike |
