Ok, well so much for at least a longer C train at longer headways.

I still say they shoulda kept the V and run more A trains rather than cut back the V and run A/C at partial service.

But then the fools that loves their C trains so much better not cry for mommy that service sucks now.

Yeah an 8-car train at longer headways over a 10-car train at decent headways was worth it for a letter and destination.

Fact is that ridership at the particular stations served by the C has changed over the years.

Fact is that weekend C trains are often crush loaded (today, in 2005).

Fact is that NYCT's weekend loading standard does not call for crush loaded trains.

Fact is that there is an easy way to solve the problem at very small cost. Two ways, in fact.

The service pattern that made sense 70 years ago may not be the service pattern that makes sense now. There's no reason to blindly stick with a 70-year-old service pattern.

What tragedy? The WTC station is oriented north-south under Church Street. The only station inside the bathtub is Cortlandt on the 1/9.

Nope it would extend directly to the R/W lines.
PATH I think was just next to the street, but under the WTC complex.

There is a punch at the S/E of the S/B platform at High Street. So I'd assume there is one like it at York Street.

And screw CPW local riders? Maximum TPH on the A is 15. The combined service today is 18 THP. Everybody wins here.

However, 10 car C trains should be run until the C can run it's full rush hour service.

I just saad that to demonstrate that at no time did the people running the subway feel more service was ever needed on the CPW local on weekends, even 60 years ago, when Saturday was a work day for most people.

10 car C trains would ease the problem somewhat.

My (C) this morning was JAM PACKED! Maybe there had been a delay in service because the station was pretty crowded. But in any event, the extra two cars would have made a huge difference.

That was what I heard from a TSS before. They said the hard wiring of the system to Canal, would cause them to lose control of those switches, but I guess they found a way to do it without losing control; or the source of that rumor only assumed that.

I concur. I'm actually a daily straphanger on the A/C Lines, going to Euclid Avenue. The 8-car trains aren't bad, but, being the service is slowly regaining "normal" service, longer trains should apply to the C ... for now.

I should clarify that my only photo was an interior rollsign photo -- nothing terribly exciting.

I did hang out briefly at York waiting for a photo op, but I left when a homeless gentleman began to yell at me for informing a T/O that he had walked past the end of the platform.

Yes, there is a punch N/B, but many T/Os choose not to use it. They'd rather get on the radio and cry about not having a lineup. Which is odd, considering that according to school car even if you have a lineup, if there is a punch it is to be used.
