Forgot about that!!They would have to somehow use Chambers as the terminal, perhaps having the trains come in from/go to Canal Street for storage in the daytime (isn't the "local" track on the eastbound side at Canal Street still connected to the tracks for emergencies?) if not use the tracks that cut off just before the Manny B. That could be done with the "Brown D" from Chambers-Coney Island via 4th Avenue and West End, with some trains stored at CI overnights and weekends for AM rush. This also could be solved by re-connecting the Brooklyn bound track of the Manny B on the South End to the Nassau Line, which would allow for a Nassau Loop line that could run rush hours, using the tunnel to Manhattan (Manhattan bound only stopping in Brooklyn at Metrotech and Court Street) and then stopping only on the uptown track at Broad, Fulton and Chambers before returning to Brooklyn via the Manny B, with a single terminal used for such a line (9th Avenue, Bay Parkway or CI) since it would be a loop. |

And the G needs to be kept at Church, that's for sure.The G going to Church gives Park Slope residents who have to switch to the 8th Avenue line anyway the option of taking that to Hoyt-Schermerhorn to get the A/C as opposed to only the F to Jay Street. |

"Having the Z or J at the mercy of whatever problems happen south of the Nassau line will destroy a very well run skip stop service. I can picture 3 or 4 J's in a row because a Z is stuck somewhere in South Brooklyn." NYCT has invested heavily into their VHF (And UHF) radio network to permit,, for example, the RCC J line dispatcher to instruct selected northbound J's to announce and make all stops to Jamaica Center. The FM radio is RCC's tactical tool at resolving a line conditions, but assumes that RCC operators are not asleep at their console. I don't know how many Z's are run during the rush hour. If the TA plans on sending five trains south to Brooklyn, then all remaining Z line intervals can turn at Broad Street. |

A rider who's destination is on lower Broadway will make better time by changing at Atlantic for the IRT as opposed to waiting for an R train connection. I generally avoid the R like the plague. |

If they were pressuring the MTA to restore service or get new service, the politicians would do so publicly and get as much press attention as possible. Especially in an election year and especially when they have to get people to sign petitions to put them on the ballot (primary and general elections). Yes, even incumbents have to file petitions to get on the ballot. |

Amazing, the current on-line schedule of them dated 12/4/11 is almost identical to my printout of it of Sept 2002 issuance.Z's arrive Broad Street every 9 to 12 minutes from 8:08am to 9:00, and there are 6 of them. 5 of 6 northbound J's die at Eastern Pkwy, so I can only assume they are Z's, and one of those Z's stays a J. Knowing that, how would you run form 9th Avenue ? If a thru service: Extend the Z's to 9th Avenue, and originate as many from 9th Avenue to neatly replace them for their northbound trip to Eastern Pkwy or Jamaica. Overnite and weekends, where do you lay them up ? 36th Street yard ? C.I.Y. ? If a Brown W, same timetable as above but stuff into sidings north of Chambers or Canal Street. PM rush, repeat everything in reverse. |

We are forgetting something else: a 9th Av extension requires more equipment, and if they do a R32/$46 swap again, that will "borrow" 2 trainsets from Jamaica and 10 R42's from ENY. So where's even more equipment ? |

Instead of afternoon put-ins of Z's at ENY, they can put them in from CI or 36th St instead. That would still be a stretch. I do not think it can be reliably done unless ENY's fleet gets larger. |

Through running would not be a problem, given that half of the J/Z line would begin at Broad St. If there are significant delays in trains coming from south Brooklyn, the train starting at Broad St. can cover all local stops. There was never this insurance policy when the M got fouled up south of Broad St and it's riders had no alternatives. |

There would be wasteful, duplicative service on Nassau St under this plan, and trains would have to be moved to/from ENY yard, as they cannot be secured on the tracks north of Chambers (homeless still infest the area). Extending the Z south to 9th Ave would be the simplest and cheapest way to provide the service, and it would require few additional trainsets. Today Z trains in the AM run in service from Broad to Broadway Junction and in the PM they run in service from BJ to Broad St before turning around to provide the peak service. If they simply allow these trains to run to 9th Ave in the AM and start there in the PM, you'd probably not need ANY additional trainsets at all. |

Logic, and knowing how NYCT works, tells me that these were poor performers, just like how older buses are retired, like the 1996 RTS'.However, that decision was made before the SMS program was announced and budgeted. So just maybe a pair or 2 will be SMS'ed. |

In order to serve south Brooklyn riders, they would need J or Z trains from 9th Ave. in the AM rush and to 9th Ave. in the PM rush.Most of these would do no good for current J/Z riders. |

Hopefully SMS would reduce the R32 spare factor.The question is would this result in the retirement of the R42's? Only the highest level managers of NYCT can answer that, and I doubt if that's a priority issue right now. Not until the SMS project is completed and they see what the MDBF is before and after.

It seems they're only separating the Queens-bound J, Z, and M trains for some (very slight) convenience. Nothing prevents J/Z's from running on the outer tracks otherwise. A brown D to Essex would be a very interesting variation on the West End-to-6th Ave service, even if it isn't the main purpose. |
