Posted by Wallyhorse on Wed Dec 8 14:41:38 2021, in response to Re: Moving the (R) to Nassau Street permanently (addition), posted by Joe V on Wed Dec 8 07:55:46 2021. Again:This is about keeping Bay Ridge politicians happy as THEY were the ones who were calling for the split of the (R). The idea is, the combination of the (J) and this Nassau (R) is really a split train that would run from 168 all the way to 95-Bay Ridge (at least during the week). It would be set up where the (R) going south (except for yard runs from Broadway Junction) would be contingent on the (J) arriving at Canal Street and then departing at Canal, with the (R) then departing 1-2 minutes later, after the (J) has crossed over to get to Chambers (and in the other direction, the (J) would be contingent on the (R)'s arrival and would leave 1-2 minutes after the (J) does, though that northbound includes (R) trains running to Broadway Junction). Weekends in this scenario would have it where the (J) and (R) are running between then every 4-6 minutes between Myrtle Avenue-Broadway and Chambers street and being able to switch between the (J) and (R) anywhere between Myrtle and Chambers. This likely would also solve a lot of the issues on 60th having only two lines (N) and (W) running through the 60th Street tunnel as opposed to three. |
