Posted by Eric B on Sun May 13 13:40:54 2007, in response to Re: M Train in Brooklyn (Re: May 11, 1975. . .End of the Culver shuttle, posted by #5 - Dyre Ave on Sun May 13 12:58:14 2007. We would actually gain, because the M's often get hung up over on the West End or 4th Ave. side, and then provide large gaps in the area it serves along (Myrtle) and then even begins skipping the stops over here. Stuff like this would surely help make us the 5th in the city for sending cars into Mahnattan. Who wants to be bothered with that?I'm looking at ways, for a suggestion to turn the West End service into a Peak direction special service (much like the old QB or RJ), but with a somewhat longer running period, which is hard to do, because that would create twice the service in the reverse peak on this end, with the hulk of the service coming from Chambers, plus the through trains from the West End. The peak direction trains from this end would probably have to be extended to 9th Ave and lay up, which would be good in that it would give us continued access to Fulton and downtown Brooklyn. But in the reverse of this for the PM, it would just be the same problem again, with the trains coming from 9th Av. still getting hung up on that end. Perhaps every other train would run through? Or it might end up having to be a separate service, like the old TT or RJ (which ran light down the J line after the AM rush). |
