Posted by Wallyhorse on Fri Apr 29 22:34:19 2016, in response to Re: (M) train during (L) tunnel closure, posted by Dupont Circle Station on Fri Apr 29 14:00:21 2016. I agree on QB in principle except for one problem:The conga lines that already are in place there. The only way to me you can do that would be to have the (M) and (R) both be extended to 179, something I have endorsed in the past anyway for other reasons. The problem with that is, the current car shortage (even if the (M) gets some trains from the (L) for that time) is one of a few reasons why I would have the split M/T with the (T) to 96th/2nd, the other purpose of it being so there is a terminal on weekends that doesn't screw up the (E) and (F) further than they already are when in particular only the express or local between QP and 71-Continental is in use during CBTC work. Since those on the UES would probably want such service to also operate weekdays, that's why the split. I understand where you're coming from, but that's also why I do things the way I do, to encourage people who change to the (G) at Lorimer to do so in the opposite direction to preferably Fulton Street and a new OOS transfer at the Atlantic Terminal (Atlantic-Barclays, 2/3/4/5/B/D/N/Q/R) or Hoyt for the A/C, especially if going to lower Manhattan in particular. |
