Posted by Wallyhorse on Sat Feb 13 02:47:57 2016, in response to Re: Disaster At The Community Board Meeting, posted by #5 - Dyre Ave on Fri Feb 12 09:57:47 2016. In the case of Church Avenue (F/G), that is normal and was done for years. Same with Bowling Green on the (5).Euclid Avenue is not an issue since the (A) goes through on the express track (except the rare times both the (A) and (C) are local). I'm talking about mainly at peak hours when the (E) is running 15 TPH. In the case of the (M), that is specifically because you have the (E) running through at Queens Plaza. We all know about the issues at 71st-Continental and for you to add any extra (M) service on QB, that service likely would have to go to 179 with the (R), and in that scenario I would then keep the (M) were it is on number of trains and have the (G) (M) and (R) all go to 179th with (the (F) express on its full route and) provisions where if there is a jam-up on the local track, local trains after Parsons can be switched to the express track (skipping 169th street) and run on that to 179. That would allow the (G) to also serve Queens Plaza. Late nights and weekends in that scenario, the (M) would not run (all Broadway-Brooklyn trains late nights and weekends would be signed as (T) to 96th/2nd) and the (R) would be unchanged from what it is now. The (G) would be 24/7 to 179 though when CBTC work is being done the (G) would run as it does now to Court Square. Sending the additional trains as (T) to 96th/2nd as noted would be 24/7 since this (T) would replace the (M) late nights and weekends in doing so and also potentially cut down on the overall number of train sets needed on weekdays. That's why I do that. |
