Posted by Steamdriven on Tue May 24 19:23:13 2016, in response to MTA to run express F train service in Brooklyn in 2017, posted by Michael549 on Tue May 17 12:25:34 2016. Why not increase the speeds on the express tracks to keep both local and express riders happy? The old NX hit around 60mph, or so I'm told.If the trains are going 60 mph (or whatever is well below tumbling off the tracks, etc) then fewer trains can provide the same service, or the same trains provide more frequent service. Sure, the bureaucrats don't like that, but they could be fired and replaced with RR types. If you need fewer trainsets for the express, the unused ones can be placed on the local. I understand there's some sort of issue where the lines combine, cross or otherwise get tangled, but I suspect that could be worked around if the will to do so existed. |
