One proposed alternative service for L riders

I realize this is premature, but since the L train tunnel shutdown won't happen till 2018 (according to NY Daily News), here's one alternative service that might help:

Run a service between Canarsie and 96th St/2nd Avenue, via the Canarsie Line to Broadway Junction, the J to Essex, then the 6th Ave. Line to Lex/63rd, then the 2nd Ave. Subway. Probably could be no more than 5 TPH because it would have to mesh with J/Z and M trains over the Willy B, then stay with the M till 50th St.

If nothing else would be a railfan's delight, connecting the oldest line (J) to the newest (2nd Ave.).

Obviously, needs more study and detailed analysis because the route involves meshing at three interlockings - Broadway Junction, Essex St., and 63rd/Lex, but it's worth looking at now.
