Posted by #5 - Dyre Ave on Fri Apr 29 18:31:32 2016, in response to Re: (M) train during (L) tunnel closure, posted by Wallyhorse on Sat Apr 23 21:17:47 2016. >>>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. <<<You greatly overestimate how much political clout Yuppies have. They will not be able to force the MTA to do things. They couldn't stop the MTA from putting R62A cars back on the 6 line and send most of its R142A's over to the 7 line. Their counterparts in Park Slope so far haven't been able to get an express service on the F line between Church Ave and Jay St. And so far, only Gale Brewer, the figurehead Manhattan Borough President is calling on the MTA to retain L service on 14th St during the shutdown, even though she has no idea how trains would be able to be inspected or repaired with either no access or extremely restricted access to East New York Yard. They're not going to prevail in getting a 6th Ave service on 2nd Ave either. |
