Posted by New Flyer #857 on Fri Jan 1 12:29:58 2016, in response to Re: 4th Avenue Service via Nassau Street, posted by Steve B-8AVEXP on Fri Jan 1 11:42:25 2016. I would say the D is fine, but the F running express can be problematic because it is not synced well with the E local and because there is no common stop on the western end before the two routes diverge (to 53rd and 63rd Sts).If you board a CPW local stop and want 6th Ave you wait about 7-8 minutes at Columbus Circle, and the same thing going back if you want the local but came from 6th Ave. That's a good buffer for night service (in case of slowdowns and the like) without being unreasonably long. Queens Blvd doesn't seem to work as neatly. Right now it seems the E follows right after the F coming into Forest Hills, so if you get on from 67 Ave to Elmhurst you have a massive wait for the F at Roosevelt. Same thing waiting for an E local going back after getting off an F from Manhattan. But you can also stay on the E until 7th Ave for about a 7 minute wait for a southbound D to also access 6th Ave. That D would enter 34th St two minutes ahead of the F you would have waited for at Roosevelt. (This is according to current posted schedules). |
