With a Nassau connection, you would also lose the transfer at Grand St. to/from the Sixth Ave. line.What's your source for this? If true, then a Nassau St alignment would have to accomodate the M train also. M+J+T+QB/SAS = a lot of trains. I'm not sure what the J runs at, but if it is 12tph, adding the M's 6tph, the T's 15tph and a potential QB/SAS at 10tph is 47tph. Nassau St can handle that in the area where it is least needed: Outside the CBDs. If 18tph of Broadway Brooklyn trains are terminated at Chambers (which is just outside of a CBD,) then 25tph of SAS trains would make it down to Broad St. They have to share the Montague Tunnel with the R train, which runs at 10tph. That means that one of the SAS trains has to terminate at Broad St. Nassau St capacity shrinks as it approaches Brooklyn. Water St allows for full Nassau St capacity to be utilized if the demand exists, and for two SAS lines to reach Brooklyn through Hanover Sq. |
