Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Tue Jan 22 18:49:50 2008, in response to Re: G Train to be cut back to Court Square permanently, posted by Eric B on Tue Jan 22 18:31:47 2008. The V now, began as a "modern" IND line with full length trains of longer cars. It was created to give local riders direct 53rd St/6th Ave service, to hopefully keep local riders off the E and F.Yes that is true. And it works well....but is far from full. So to change that now to the old BMT and IND-local configuration is a reversion to the past. No, it's not necessary to have full length trains on the V, and like the C that runs with the A (or the E for a while), it's not a big deal when a shorter C pulls in instead of an E. Because in "theory", this could be considered a "regretion" of service? because it's suggested that they take off two cars (thinking as 60 foot car trains) that are not needed? So that is why Eastern Division riders must suffer un-necessarily? I don't get that logic. It's not like we are asking to take 2 cars off the N train or the R train which uses it's full length trains more to capacity. |
