Posted by Stephen Bauman on Thu May 14 17:32:56 2020, in response to Canarsie Line, posted by alantrain on Thu May 14 13:20:21 2020. Does any one know, after all the money spent on automation now, whether more or less trains run as compared to then?The BMT and the TA operated 24 tph peak through the early 1970's. The pre-Covid peak was 20 tph. The excuse is lack of electric power. They are building 3 new substations. This will permit 22 tph peak. Also, is the time shortened on the end to end runs? The scheduled time for the local between Canarsie and 8th Ave has not changed. However, a check of the real time feed shows that many of today's trains take considerably less time than the schedule. The schedule is padded to improve on time performance. The scheduled run time for the A train between Lefferts Blv and 14th St takes longer than the scheduled run time for the Multis and Bluebird on the 14th St Express. The A train makes fewer stops. |
