Posted by Wallyhorse on Wed Jan 23 01:52:04 2008, in response to M/V Merger Re: G Train to be cut back to Court Square permanently, posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Tue Jan 22 11:21:06 2008. There is another way I had mentioned previously about placating those who would lose the M line in Brooklyn:A lot of people forget or don't know that the tracks to what used to be the Nassau Street Loop for the most part still exist. In that regard, what could be done is rebuild the connection from to the Brooklyn bound track of the Manhattan Bridge ONLY, which would allow for a Bay Parkway Loop Line that can operate during rush hours, starting AND finishing at Bay Parkway. This also would allow for an emergency route when needed as well. The loop train would run to Manhattan via the Montauge Street tunnel (stopping at Lawrence and Court Street to Manhattan ONLY), then make the three stops on the fomer Nassau Street Loop at Broad, Fulton and Chambers Street before heading back to Brooklyn via the Manhattan Bridge that would likely placate many of those who use the M on the 4th Avenue Brooklyn line during rush hours. |
