They're finally going to work on it? About time, that rusty el rumbles so loudly even when you're on the train and when you're on a M7 over that el you'll feel like you're about to fall off for a couple of seconds/minutes.I agree with more convenient access to Vanderbilt, but that would be impossible IIRC unless a loop is built west of the station. Here's a comment on the scenario currently during the weekends, Far Rockaway trains are scheduled to leave Flatbush Avenue on the weekends around the same time Hempstead trains arrive Flatbush Avenue, and since they usually use their own separate platforms (Far Rockaway uses Platform A/Tracks 1 & 2, or the northernmost platform, Hempstead uses Platform B/Tracks 3 & 4, or the second from the northernmost platform), the Hempstead train being late creates a "ripple effect" making that Far Rockaway train late. I don't think it's currently possible to straighten the platforms without major work being done, although Platform A is cut off on the eastern end for some odd reason. |
