Posted by Wallyhorse on Fri Apr 22 15:58:48 2016, in response to Re: (M) train during (L) tunnel closure, posted by Dupont Circle Station on Fri Apr 22 10:47:59 2016. Except you forget that the (M) is likely going to also have to run on weekends and QB will likely be unavailable at certain times to the (M) because of all trains running on either the local or express track at any one time then.The idea of the split M/T may seem illogical to you, but it also takes into account the CBTC situation on QB and the fact you'd probably have to send the (M) somewhere other than Essex anyway. Add to that if you sent the (M) to 96th/2nd on weekends, riders on the upper east side likely would demand that service be full-time and that's why the split of the (M) into the (M) and (T) with the (M) as it is now (currently 19/5 to 71st-Continental) and the (T) 24/7 to 96th Street and 2nd Avenue. As also said, this is something I would actually look at starting as soon as the (M) resumes running on Myrtle after that work is complete ahead of the (L) shutdown since the UES likely can use the 6-7 TPH this (T) would give it in addition to the (Q). |
