Obviously can't run Q/R/D/F/M all via 6th Ave at same time

Posted by BrooklynTrain on Tue Oct 8 22:33:43 2019

Bridge completely backed up northbound at this moment, and trains at dead halt entering/leaving Broadway-Lafayette northbound. Problem is the merge at Broadway Lafayette with the R (entering on D platform) and the F/M (entering on their platform). The R, F and M all must merge to the F platform at West 4th. System comes to a complete halt.

Was bad enough this past weekend with 4 lines running via 6th Ave (R, F, M, D). Luckily I was able to view the holding lights by the conductor position to see which train (F, M or rerouted R) was leaving first northbound at Broadway-Lafayette, and delays were minimized due to all lines running on 12 minute headways.

They need to suspend the M to 96th St during this NQR FastTrack. Run it to Chambers or Essex. Doesn't matter if the L has work after 10pm. Better to transfer than to be stuck in 30+ minutes of congestion.
