Posted by Wallyhorse on Wed Apr 20 15:35:44 2016, in response to Re: (M) train during (L) tunnel closure, posted by Joe V on Wed Apr 20 08:45:17 2016. Understandable, however, there is a little matter known as CBTC, which is why I thought of the split in the first place since the current (M) is going to need a weekend terminal in Manhattan that is NOT Essex or anywhere on Nassau then and CBTC is more weekends than not make it impossible for the (M) to run with the (E) (F) and (R) are all are running local in one or both directions and/or access to Jamaica Yard is limited by CBTC work. In addition, I don't think QB can handle more locals to 71-Continental anyway and sending it to 179 brings trainset availability more into being issue.That is why I came up with 96th/2nd in the first place as a weekend terminal. Since it was noted that those on the UES would probably insist on making it full-time, that's when I did the split with half the trains signed as (T) and those being 24/7 to 96th/2nd (6-7 TPH except overnights when it would be 3 TPH). Given the density of population on the UES, having both the (Q) and an "Orange (T)" operate on 6th Avenue I think is actually more important than Queens Boulevard. Doing such also likely reduces the number of trainsets actually needed for a split M/T, which may be important. |
