Posted by Dupont Circle Station on Mon Jan 21 21:18:03 2008, in response to Re: M-V combo, posted by Wallyhorse on Mon Jan 21 20:31:07 2008. The M in lower Manhattan can be replaced by a new K train that can start at either Eastern Parkway or Rockaway Parkway (in the latter case, replacing the L from Rockaway Parkway-Atlantic Avenue) and run to Bay Parkway. There is no need for an additional Nassau Street service. Running from Bway Jct would make the line nominally useful only to passengers between Myrtle and Marcy, meaning it would have to originate at Rockaway Pky. Sending it to Bay Parkway would make the run long enough to not be of all that much use at the ends of the line unless it had enough TPH and corresponding car availability. However, that frequency of service would jam-up the line between Essex and Marcy, overserve the el along Bway, and then mess with the L at Bway Jct, even if half the L trains turned at Myrtle. No. Fawgeddabowt another line there. |
