Posted by BrooklynTrain on Tue Sep 12 22:55:33 2017, in response to Re: Late Night R to Whitehall St, posted by Elkeeper on Tue Sep 12 17:55:34 2017. The super-long routes (think the F or the daytime R) are very delay prone, especially when there is late night track work on any portion of the route. A late night train running from Parsons-Archer to 95th via the J line would create far more problems than it's worth. Everything is working perfectly now.For example, last night, the 11:35pm R shuttle out of Whitehall left a bit late, but still arrived in Brooklyn AHEAD OF two connecting southbound N trains that were back-to-back (behind the R train). That first N train was severely delayed. Had R train riders at Whitehall (or other stops south of Whitehall) been forced to wait for this severely delayed N train, they would have had a lengthy wait for that N, followed by just missing the R shuttle, then another 20 minute wait for the next R. Would have been a total nightmare. Plus, D train riders got a direct connection to the R at DeKalb last night (both trains waited for each other). The R train extension to Whitehall was VERY much needed last night. And every night. Whitehall to 95th is the perfect length, and the perfect compromise. |
