Posted by Wallyhorse on Tue Apr 19 13:29:47 2016, in response to Re: (M) train during (L) tunnel closure, posted by R30A on Tue Apr 19 12:50:59 2016. Not in this case.It's better to split the (M) in two and have half of them, signed as an "Orange (T)" in this case going to 96th/2nd. This is in part because of not only needing in my opinion the (M) to go into Manhattan at all times during the shutdown, but also because in this case CBTC work on weekends along Queens Boulevard. The "Orange (T)" in this case would be a 24/7 line to 96th and 2nd operating 6-7 TPH at all times (as it would during peak hours be one-half of (M) service, just signed with a different letter), except for 3 TPH last nights. It would especially nights and weekends supplement the (Q) on the SAS along arguably one of the most densely populated areas of the entire country and also in doing so take pressure off the (6) since people on this train could instead of transferring at Broadway-Lafayette for the (6) can have a one-seat ride to the UES if going there (especially along 86th Street, still the CBD for Yorkville as well as 59th Street and not having to switch to the (6) at Broadway-Lafayette or by then the N/Q/R/W at Herald Square if going to 60th on 3rd or Lex). This is why I'd actually be looking to debut this new "Orange (T)" after the (M) goes back to operating to Metropolitan. |
