Posted by Kriston Lewis on Wed Jan 23 17:17:07 2008, in response to Yet another thread rehashing tired service change ideas, posted by Kew Gardens Teleport on Tue Jan 22 12:40:17 2008. At least I think it is:A Division  : Abandon Cortlandt Street, permanently. Let's show the Port Authority we mean business. : Express service expanded until 1:00 am. : 2008 Expansion Plan : Begin New Lots Avenue service at 10:30 pm; add three rush hour trips to/from New Lots Avenue. : Extend to Brooklyn all times, except nights. White Plains  service runs express to Gun Hill Road, then local. : Pelham Express runs until 10:00 pm. : Flushing Express runs until 11:00 pm.B Division  : Discontinue service to Ozone Park, current rush hour and late night service retained. All service runs to/from the Rockaways, with some additional service terminating at Howard Beach-JFK. Express service runs until 11:30 pm : 2008 Expansion Plan : Extend to Ozone Park, expand to 10-car trains. Reduce headways to 8 minutes to compensate, service now ends at 11:30 pm. : End late night express service in Manhattan. : No changes : End late night service on the 63rd Street Line. Late night service will run via the 53rd Street tunnel. Late night local service is restored. : Terminate at Court Square, permanently. Extend to Chruch Avenue, all times. : After express track construction is completed, begin express service between Marcy Avenue and Sutphin Boulevard. Express service will run in the peak direction from 5am to 11pm. Terminates at Broad Street, all times. Skip-stop service discontiuned. : Add some short turn trips to Broadway Junction on the regular. : Discontinue service, replaced with the  . (Yeah, I caved to this.) : Add weekend express service, skips 49th Street, except nights when all service is local. Remove from Astoria and run along the Second Avenue Line to 125th Street. Or the Bronx. : Discontinue late night express service. Service will continue to use the Manhattan Bridge. Late night service runs to 21st Street-Queensbridge. : No changes. The 2008 plan is shelved. : Construct the Second Avenue Subway in to the Bronx (via Third Avenue) and into Brooklyn (via Utica Avenue, somehow): Merge with the , running from Forest Hills to Middle Village, via the Queens Boulevard, 53rd Street, Sixth Avenue, Jamaica, and Myrtle Avenue Lines. Add weekend service, current late night Myrtle shuttle retained. : Add weekend service to make up for the now running express and bypassing 49th Street. Those Kings Highway trips will now be publicized. : Demoted to local service. Skip-Stop service discontinued. Runs weekdays from 5am to 11pm.That's it. Maybe it is drastic. But these are crack plans. |
