Posted by Wallyhorse on Mon May 2 20:43:01 2016, in response to Re: (M) train during (L) tunnel closure, posted by Dupont Circle Station on Mon May 2 15:59:06 2016. We are talking about the ONE area where a lot of that may get thrown out the window.The idea is you would during non-peak hours have 5-6 (Q) and 5-6 (T) trains per hour and late nights, 3 of each per hour (and maybe more on the (T)). You likely even outside of peak hours will need 10-12 combined (M) and (T) trains per hour on weekdays to handle the (L) crowds that as many know has been prone to be jammed at Midnight-1:00 AM and that actually could require 4-6 TPH on the (T) even in the late night hours and 7-9 (T) TPH on weekends to handle the (L) crowds (with yes, the (T) actually running more TPH on weekends than during the week). As said, the main purposes of this (T) is to supplement the (M) during the week and replace the weekend (M) shuttles (late nights and especially) on weekends when CBTC work likely makes it impossible most of the time for the (M) to operate on QB. The UES from when I have been through there even late at night is often still very crowded and likely would warrant doing this. |
