Posted by Wallyhorse on Mon Apr 18 05:48:01 2016, in response to Re: Brooklyn-Manhattan tunnels on (L) train to close in 2019, posted by AlM on Sun Apr 17 09:45:02 2016. The problem there is, for that to work, you likely need the (G) (M) and (R) to ALL be expanded to 179th Street (something I would consider doing at all times anyway with all three running to 179 24/7 during this shutdown except during CBTC work where only one track is available in one or both directions). Having all three run to 179 more importantly allows the (G) to stop at Queens Plaza and let people switch there to the (R) as well as (via an OOS transfer I would have during the shutdown) the (N) and (Q) at Queenboro Plaza (late nights and weekends, if necessary during CBTC work the (G) and (R) could run to Queens Plaza while the (M) continues to 71-Continental or 179 depending on needs).The idea of the split of the (M) into the (M) and (T) has to really do with the car shortage, as having half of such trains go to 96th/2nd and the other half to 71st-Continetal likely saves the use of an additional 1-2 trainsets that could be crucial to make this work. This also with the "Orange (T)" to 96th/2nd at all times eliminates the need for the current late night and weekend (M) shuttles as this (T) would absorb those while also giving riders on the stub portion of the SAS additional service on the UES, the one area that likely needs that level of service late nights and weekends. |
