If need be, the (N) and (W) are interchangeable between Astoria and Queens Boulevard, so that eliminates that issue by having the (W) run Whitehall (or 9th Avenue or Bay Parkway) to 71-Continental with the (N) as it is now, if necessary at peak hours have a handful of (N) trains that are stored at City Hall Lower Level start at Canal Street (Tunnel Level) and run to 71st-Continental (and at off-peak hours, a handful of "extra" (N) trains from Astoria end at the tunnel level of Canal to be stored at the lower level for the next peak-hour period).I suspect Broadway would work better with the (R) banished to Nassau and the (W) replacing it in Manhattan and Queens as the full-time line between in this case 71st-Continental and Whitehall (or 9th Avenue or Bay Parkway as about half of the weekday and all of the weekend (W) trains would run via 4th Avenue to at least 9th Avenue on the (D)). As far as the one-seat ride to Broad Street on the (J), this would be minor since as I would do it, it would be set up so the (R) at Canal would not leave until the (J) has come in, left, and switched tracks and then the (R) would do the same, set up so there is a simple cross-platform transfer that for most should NOT be a big deal. Pols had been calling for a spilt (R) train and this is giving them what they want. |
