Jamaica Center on the E is maxed out, and you would be shortening the trains by 20% if you ran them through onto the J. |

And apologize for the "and" I will try to remember that and do apologize if my statement as I wasn't attacking the people but the dept. I see how the dept. is and fully agree with u that one needs to learn thoroughly before deciding. I always tend to train folks newer than me at MNR and share as much as possible. |

There is only 1 post-GOH occurance of a revenue service R32 out on the Eastern Division that I know of: During the 9/11/01 - 10/26/01 J & M run thru era to South Brooklyn, one slipped out on the M one morning and came back. |

Or maybe they will DELIBERATELY make sure no R32 is used for that even if it makes sense - the trains will be so full of foamers and no room for LIRR passengers. |

However, isn't there going to be more than one (P) train anyway? Theres Train Buffs who "foam" over R160s too, if they use 160s that doesn't solve that issue... |

For $2.25, they will be riding continually all day back and forth, and maybe into the night, with Domino Pizzas delivered to them in the mezzanines over the turnstiles. |

Actually I think they should do a combo of both: Increase E to 10TPH for Woodside/FH/KG folk, and run the P for direct to Penn. |

If it were up to me, I'd probably create the following kind of "P" service:1) I'd have A, C and half of the E trains traveling on the 8th Avenue local tracks, where most A trains would run "express on the local tracks" during the time that the C-train runs. A and D trains could run on the express tracks north of the 59th Street station, but not south of that station for the reasons listed below. 2) I'd have the full amount of E-trains running - the almost rush hour schedule of 12 E-trains per hour. 3) Half of those E-trains (6 E-trains per hour) would run with limited stops - 34th Street-8th Avenue, 42nd Street-8th Avenue, 53rd Street-Lexington Avenue, and then non-stop to the Archer Avenue stations. The electronic signs on the train would indicate that this is a "special E-train". These special E-trains would terminate and relay on the middle track just south of the 34th Street station, between 34th Street and 23rd Street. These trains would have exclusive use of the express tracks along Eighth Avenue. I would have signage that suggests that LIRR riders use these trains. 4) The remaining half of the E-trains (6 E-trains per hour) would run as regular in service E-trains to and from the World Trade Center station. These trains would be used by regular E-train riders, as well as LIRR riders, and would make their regular stops. 5) I would not bother trying to create a "P" train along the J-line, due to the major interference that would be caused at West 4th Street just for one day. 6) Since I would be running regular E-trains, and a set of special E-trains, the demands on the crews would be something that is regular and understand, without having to involve stations in Harlem, or "dead-ended runs". Again this is just my thoughts. Mike |

In addition, my assumption would be that LIRR would be footing the bill for this service and not NYCT, although it's all MTA in the end. It is also entirely possible that a G.O. for Queens Boulevard was already scheduled for that weekend, forcing the P train over to the J line. |

NETO this is a post from 9/14/10 since then they must have axed the P train as LIRR is telling people to take the E and makes no mention of the P Train. Unless, they aren't advertising it to keep crowds to LIRR folk (or try and keep railfans away), which I don't think but is possible. |
