Posted by Dupont Circle Station on Thu Apr 28 17:36:39 2016, in response to Re: (M) train during (L) tunnel closure, posted by Wallyhorse on Thu Apr 28 14:42:50 2016. You are only making your arguments less convincing.(G) is NOT going back to QB. Period. That would require running 6 or 8 car trains; not to mention more of them. And, why the heck would they go to QP for the (R) when the (E)(M) and (7) are at Court Sq? Fewer (L) trains trains will be needed because of the shortened route. Those idle trains become the "<M>" runs. As I said, weekend headways would not prevent (M) from turning at QP. Unless QB work shuts down all service at Queens Plaza, there is no reason to reroute/turn the (M) anywhere else. And, sorry, but there simply cannot be that many people displaced from the (L), or regular Bway el riders, that would justify direct service to the area around 63rd St. Those who would usually transfer to the Lex at 14th may do so at Bway-Lafayette, or continue up to Lex/53. If they need to go farther up, same-platform transfer to the (F); or change at 34th for the (Q). All of the pieces are currently in place to make everything work with as little change in routine as possible for most people. Aside from my recommendation for thru-routed Canarsie service (which would directly benefit affected customers at both ends of the (M) route), there is nothing at all controversial. Keep it as simple as possible. Not every possible routing needs to be exploited just because a few people like it. That is why the (M) goes to Forest Hills, and not via Montague now. |
