Posted by Wallyhorse on Mon Feb 8 03:15:15 2016, in response to Re: Canarsie trains via Broadway-Brooklyn during (L) tunnel shutdown, posted by Q Brightliner Harry on Sun Feb 7 10:09:28 2016. I have in the past suggested the Nassau option (and in fact have called it (K) as well) so that might work as well:That said, as we all know people want midtown and you will see a mass exodus at Essex-Delancey, either waiting there for the (M) (and/or my "Orange (T)" if that were brought in) or walking over to get the (F). Those who stay on to Canal to get the Broadway line would then be dealing with what have been known (from what I've read) to be overcrowded platforms at Canal, which you have to walk through to get the (6) or the Broadway Locals. Re-routing the (C) to Rockaway Parkway gives those from Canarsie a one-seat ride to midtown via 8th Avenue and allows for a much better transfer to the 6th and Lexington Avenue lines at Broadway-Lafayette and obviously then going on 8th Avenue to run its regular route. Some on the (F) might have to suffer a little bit with a couple of (F) trains at peak hours cut in favor of a few additional (G) trains OR 2-3 (F) TPH running via the Crosstown at peak times to take pressure off the (G) that will be picking up many more passengers during this time. Yes, that also means the other items ( (E) extended to Euclid outside of a handful of trains at peak hours that still turn at Chambers and a new (K) that is a supplement to the (C) running Chambers-168), but the idea is to get as many riders off the (L) (and also (G) as possible), and having this re-routed (C) go Rockaway Parkway-168th does that. Even with the merger issues at peak times in particular, it may be something that has to be done because there really is no good way to handle the (L) tunnels being out of commission for such an extended period like there will be. This is also why I have the "Orange (T)" that really is a beefed-up (M) going to 96th Street-2nd Avenue that would be 6-7 TPH (2-3 TPH overnights) and run as a 24/7 line to 96/2, replacing the (M) on weekends. Both changes combined likely take a lot of pressure off the (L). |
