Good, except that the running Brighton Local and the running Brighton Express will cause unnecessary switching and delays at Brighton Beach. Running local won't add too much running time to the at all.

NO.

Yes, and?

RollOverMyHead, I've had a hard time understanding all of the many comments you've made about the NYC Subway fleet, and figuring out what your general point is...That's why I wanted your first thread to be locked...I think if you tried to make yourself a little bit more clear (and didn't contradict yourself, or explained why you were doing so), people would be less upset.

This just seems really strange, since we have no idea if the will even exist...And if and when it does, we'll probably be really old (or dead). Are you sure that they didn't mean the SAS extension instead?

I would have to disagree.

As if shutting down all of northern Manhattan is intelligent ! runs in two sections: 9 Av - Coney Island; 205 St - Coney Island via the line between Broadway-Lafayette Sts and Coney Island runs in two sections: 59 St - Coney Island; Astoria-Ditmars - Coney Island via the line between Canal St and Coney Island 71 Av - Whitehall St or Atlantic Av single-track shuttle between 45 St and 95 St; excess trains lay up near 95 St or run via the line to Coney Island. 4 Av, Sea Beach, and West End riders should ride the or to Coney Island and transfer to a Manhattan bound train running on the or line.

+ + = too many TPH.

Okay, here's my solution: suspended. NEXT: Due to a smoke condition, the line on Hillside Avenue is unusable. BTW, sorry Fresh Pond. I didn't mean to be too harsh about your scenario...I just thought it was too big and crazy...

NEXT: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and The Bronx all blow up. Reroute all trains via imaginary tunnels to Staten Island and New Jersey.

NO.

You can still suspend services to your heart's content, but TSS won't enjoy it !

Well, using your and Brighton Express's logic, this is a VERY easy scenario : Utica Av - Brooklyn Bridge, Woodlawn - Grand Central suspended, special fairy dust makes all trains disappear and transports them to 238 St Yard Pelham Bay Park - Grand Central

NO. Ah, fine. I'll solve it: Utica Av - Brooklyn Bridge or Atlantic Av Flatbush Av - Brooklyn Bridge or Atlantic Av Woodlawn - 86 St, express, OR Woodlawn - Grand Central, local Dyre Av - E 180 St or 86 St (express in Manhattan) Pelham Bay Park - Grand Central

Limited service runs between 96 St and Junius St. Theoretically, all of the trains that are already in service can still run!

The is shortened partly because the MTA doesn't have enough cars to run full length trains. Someday, I'm guessing that they'll have more (due to the R179s and R211s coming), in which case they'll want to keep the longer platforms. Additionally, it's important to be flexible for reroutes (which aren't so rare), and it'll cost money to block off the ends of the platforms (which the MTA shouldn't be spending on this). Also, I'm pretty sure that the platform exits/entrances are often at the ends.

If this is the case, then we have escaped all reality for the sake of making easier solutions. When an unexpected service change happens (the key word being "unexpected"), there isn't time to just magically cancel all of the trains that we don't want to reroute. Look, the for example runs 25 trains. Those trains have to be sent somewhere. We can't just say, "Oh, lets ignore those 25 trains because the is suspended." If we're do that, then we've entered fantasy land. And no, I don't agree that most of the scenarios would be "f**ked* if we counted these trains. I think my solutions usually do count those trains, and they work perfectly well.

I'll do the same with yours: Total:-2

I'll rate your solution using this system: +2 = especially smart solution +1 = good solution 0 = perfectly good, but there's a better way to do this -1 = impractical solution -2 = fowming -3 = impossible solution Total:-3

I know nothing about PATH track maps, so I'll only do the subway lines... via 8 Av Express Bedford Park Blvd - 42 St-Bryant Park (uses switches south of the station); Brighton Beach - W 4 St runs in two sections: 205 St - 2 Av via 8 Av Local, Coney Island - W 4 St via 8 Av Local/53 St; select trains can run via Crosstown if necessary; select trains run between 179 St and 47-50 Sts via 63 St runs in two sections: 71 Av - 42 St-Bryant Park, terminates on the express tracks south of the station; Metropolitan Av - Chambers St runs in two sections: Ditmars Blvd - 57 St/7 Av; Coney Island - Prospect Park or Whitehall St runs in two sections: Ditmars Blvd - Times Sq/42 St; Coney Island - Whitehall St or Atlantic Av runs in two sections: 71 Av - Times Sq/42 St; Coney Island - Whitehall St That doesn't work.

Nevins St isn't a terminal and Atlantic Avenue is impassible. Take it easy on the weed, Threxx, as you caused this scenario.

From all the weed that Threxx is smoking ? Okay, here we go: Flatbush Av - Eastern Pkwy New Lots Av - Eastern Pkwy and trains that are in service past Atlantic Av should be converted to and trains. Woodlawn - Borough Hall Dyre/Nereid Av - Bowling Green terminates in Manhattan at either 14 St or Wall St. Downtown trains terminating at Wall St run local from 34 St to Chambers St so as not to interfere with trains terminating on the downtown express track at 14 St. trains run via tunnel to provide a transfer at Borough Hall

Yes, they are. And I don't blame them. If you're not a buff, you probably don't read the signs (understandably) because every other train you've ever been on hasn't gone to Brooklyn. Okay, I'll solve my scenario: select trains terminate at 96 St using the line's middle track. Select trains terminate at Utica/New Lots Avs. possibly select uptown trains can terminate at 34 St - Penn Station. (I guess some trains can do this too.) Manhattan bound trains stop at Lafayette Av. Queens bound trains run local from Hoyt-Schermerhorn to Utica Av. select trains terminate at Prospect Park select trains terminate at 57 St/7 Av select trains terminate at Atlantic Av; other trains run local on 4 Av.
