Posted by #5 - Dyre Ave on Mon Feb 8 16:56:55 2016, in response to Re: M Line during L Closure, posted by Wallyhorse on Mon Feb 8 02:48:01 2016. But there's not enough track capacity for both PLUS the existing services they will share tracks with! Do you really think the Broadway/Jamaica el really has all this excess capacity to run the C, J/Z, M and T services? Do you really think the 6th Ave local tracks can easily handle the C, F, M and T trains between the Chrystie connection and West 4th? What if a train stalls, or there's a sick passenger or a police investigation anywhere along those routes? And please don't say "Well, I would reroute select F trains over the G line," like you have before because that will just create another problem elsewhere.You won't be able to fit both. It's either the C or the T. If I were you, I'd choose the T, because Canarsie riders already have the option of transferring to the C at Broadway Junction. They're not also going to close the connection between the BMT and IND at Broadway Junction, while the Canarsie tubes are closed. So there is absolutely no need for the C to be rerouted to Rockaway Pkwy via the F line, the J line, then the L line and running the risk of fouling up all those lines, plus the E and M as well. On the other hand, L riders will face severely reduced service if the MTA chooses to only take out one tube at a time. Then it might be desirable to have another service that can get to Manhattan on at least part of the Canarsie route. That's where the "Orange T" comes in. Run that service to/from Canarsie via Broadway Junction and Chrystie. Yes, it may very well be difficult to take it away once the work on the tubes is finished. |
