Split M/T during (L) train closure |

Posted by Wallyhorse on Wed May 4 21:02:43 2016, in response to Re: (M) train during (L) tunnel closure, posted by Michael549 on Wed May 4 15:42:22 2016. Actually, it's a given (L) riders would benefit the way I would do it because the BIG thing is there would be full-time 6th Avenue service from the (M) most can transfer to at Myrtle-Wyckoff or the (G) at Broadway in this scenario.Mine factors in CBTC work on Queens Boulevard that likely can't be stopped during the (L) shutdown that forces the (M) to most likely 96th/2nd on most weekends because that is the closest station you will be able to turn the (M) after running up 6th Avenue on weekends without potentially interfering with other lines (with QB unavailable to the (M) because of the (E) (F) and (R) all running on the same track in at least one direction most weekends). Given what politics are, those on the Upper East Side, who have considerable political clout likely would want the (M) to run there at all times so they have a 6th Avenue option on weekdays and more importantly double service on weekends and late nights in the most densely populated area of the country. That was why I came up with the M/T split to placate those on the UES while still serving the real purpose, getting additional service on 6th Avenue for displaced (L) riders (with in this case, the added bonus of being able to stay on and continue to the UES and not switch to the (6) if going there). |
