Posted by Q Brightliner Harry on Sun Feb 7 10:09:28 2016, in response to Re: Canarsie trains via Broadway-Brooklyn during (L) tunnel shutdown, posted by Wallyhorse on Sun Feb 7 09:28:04 2016. Your routing of the C to Canarsie runs into many problems of merging. Northbound with the M, then the J/Z (unavoidable), then F, then E, both of which have 15 tph. Southbound, with the E (unavoidable), then the F and M, then the J/Z. That's asking for too much trouble. The TA has proven itself incapable of producing smooth merges. Ergo, merges need to be avoided as much as possible. For the 3-year period, the only way to have trains to Manhattan from Rockaway Parkway would be via Broadway Brooklyn, preferably local via Nassau St. to Broad St. Call this service the K. Passengers can change at various points for various uptown trains. Not ideal, but the smoothest possibility given the situation, because of the fewest merges and no capacity issues. The only merges would be with the M and then the J/Z. Should be doable with a train every 10 minutes, 6 tph, total 24 tph over the Williamsburgh Bridge. If quantity of rolling stock permits, the K can be extended to 95th St.-Fort Hamilton to help out the R. Broadway-Brooklyn Express trains would probably entice some E train riders, easing the congestion on that line as well. |
