Posted by Wallyhorse on Sat Apr 23 21:17:47 2016, in response to Re: (M) train during (L) tunnel closure, posted by Joe V on Fri Apr 22 18:59:20 2016. Except for that one small issue known as CBTC work:It's no secret that work has to take place, and unless you want to suspend CBTC work entirely on QB until the (L) is back up and running that means you will have times where the (E) (F) and (R) all have to run express or local (i.e.: on the same track) in one direction. That makes running the (M) to 71-Continental on weekends at times impossible. That is the main reason why I would have the (M) run to 96th/2nd on weekends. Since UES riders would probably demand such a service also run during the week (and they have the political clout to force that), that's why I would do a split of the (M) from Metropolitan Avenue where the (M) runs 19/5 to 71st-Continental and the (T) runs to 96th Street and 2nd Avenue. That also likely reduces as noted before the number of trainsets needed for such a split service. |
