Posted by Wallyhorse on Sat Oct 10 04:28:02 2009, in response to Re: The F report, posted by Grand Concourse on Sat Oct 10 02:21:03 2009. As I've said before:If you're going to have an additional Culver Line train operate so that the F can run express in Brooklyn, if the issues with West 4th Tower can be worked out, I would look at having the C go with the B, D and F trains at West 4th to Broadway-Lafayette while the V train replaces the C south of West 4th to Euclid Avenue. This would give riders on both the Culver and Fulton Street lines the option of 6th and 8th Avenue service, and in the case of each line at worst a two-seat ride with a cross or same platform transfer. More importantly, it gives riders along the 6th Avenue Line in Midtown Manhattan a one-seat ride to the financial district and makes much better use of the V train by doing so (and in this format, the V becomes a 19/7 line while the A train would become a 24/7 express train in Manhattan since the C would become a 24/7 line as well). On the Culver Line, the C and G would both run local to Church Avenue 24/7 while the F train runs express at all times (with the lower level of Bergen Street renovated and re-opened for passenger service). During rush hours, the C could be extended to Kings Highway as a peak-direction express from Church Avenue-Kings Highway. This would probably soothe the objections of those on the Culver Line who don't want express service since they would now have a one-seat ride to the financial district they currently do not have and at worst a cross-platform transfer to the 6th Avenue line. |
