Posted by Dupont Circle Station on Wed Apr 20 19:31:05 2016, in response to Re: (M) train during (L) tunnel closure, posted by Wallyhorse on Tue Apr 19 08:38:23 2016. It makes no sense to turn at QP. That would affect the E in both directions. One mishap during the move and everyone at Ely not to mention all of QB) is boned.Add 5 or 6 additional (M) during peak, and 3 or 4 off-peak. During peak, alternate (M) go on to Parsons or 179th to reduce turning delays at Continental. Run the M to Queens 18/7 for the duration of the outage. The additional cars can come from the (L) pool. A variation on this could be to run those additional trains as <M> to/from Canarsie (kind of like the old JJ). One-seat to midtown would probably be a joy for many at that end of the line. How far from the station box is the crossover at Bedford? Can it be used to turn trains without them having to enter the station to clear the switch? If so, run the (L) between Canarsie and Lorimer (fumigating at Lorimer), then running light to the crossover. Otherwise, could they keep one track open that trains can pull in to just change ends? Alternatively, is there any way to install a crossover on either side at Lorimer? |
