Posted by Broadway Lion on Tue Feb 16 10:35:00 2016, in response to Re: Disaster At The Community Board Meeting, posted by AlM on Tue Feb 16 08:28:36 2016. Why 3 shuttles and not just through trains from Bedford to Canarsie. Turning takes time and reduces throughput.Because, according to the understanding of the LION they wanted to CLOSE the WHOLE THING so that stations could be repaired. The PLAN of LION is for SINGLE TRACKING, thus the shorter segments. Turning time is nil, since there would be a T/O at each end of the train. IF it were safe to do so, it could be done by just closing the platforms and allowing trains on the construction side to run non-stop. If so you would have rush direction trains making stops and equipment returned to the other end in service with a stop only at ENY which does not need rebuilding at this time. If other stations are identified as not needing repair, then stops could be made there too. That would be best, but if repairs require the use of the OOS track for Div C use, then that is a no-go. Since much of the ROW is in tunnel, it is not possible to bring stuff in from the street. ROAR |
