Posted by PATHman on Thu Sep 6 13:06:13 2007, in response to Would 4-track express service be of any benefit for Northern Manhattan lines (1, A)?, posted by El-Train on Thu Sep 6 01:41:46 2007. I always thought that something should be done with the middle track on the 1 line. I thought of two scenarios:1) Having the 1's from Van Cortlandt Park run express from 137st to 96st. A short turn 1 would start at 137st and make all stops to 96st. Both branches would run every 6 minutes, meaning that 1 train service from 96st-South Ferry would operate every 3 minutes. 2) Having every other 3 train operate via the 1 express track up to Van Cortlandt Park. Both options would vastly improve the quality of the service on the 1 line in upper Manhattan. |
