RollOver

Haven't been to this thread in a while lol. These are all amazing btw.

Forgot to add something (bolded in red): You and Bob know me very well in this forum though. You honestly thought I was dumb enough to not realize the headways, the running time and the number of trains needed (which I'm already well aware of) on each and every line? CenSin, your data lesson was not needed here. I was just saying to relieve the Forest Hills delays with my proposed extension. The only downside of my proposal is that almost everyone east of Forest Hills are on their way towards Manhattan and won't care about the local, as well as everything else I said in the first post above yours. That was it.

Sigh, fine. I get it. But don't surprise if they add a bit more service in the real world for the shutdown and the delays on the northbound Queens Boulevard Local during the rush get more bad. This also means that the can't be full-length (which would allow all its current fleet of R160s and the future R179s to be push off to the east) either by then I suppose. So we're just gonna have to get used to the delays at Forest Hills on the northbound locals for decades to come.

Unlike some of the members on this forum (especially CenSin) that you yourself and Lance lectured me for personally criticizing just fairly recently, I wouldn't dare make the express anywhere along its route outside of the Queens Boulevard Line and completely go against the aforementioned ridership demands. Of course I know why they stopped running local service to and from 179th back in the '80s. Anyway, my whole goal is to simply relieve the Forest Hills delays on the local and . Because the plain fact is that back when the was running, all Queens Boulevard local service were entirely R46s and both the and would often swap trainsets east of Forest Hills. Now with the taking the 's place, any Queens Boulevard local trains can no longer swap cars due to the being 480 feet long and the being 600 feet long respectively. Instead, only one train at a time can relay east of Forest Hills and is the major reason for alot of rush hour northbound Queens Boulevard local delays between Roosevelt and Forest Hills.

At least you aren't afraid to speak out your mind and stick to your own self.

Yeah, but once the entirety of the R179 and R211 cars are delivered, respectively, they will be enough cars for all 's (not just some 's) to be extended to and from 179th to relieve Forest Hills. Which is also a part of the reason why the should be full-length, to push the R179s and R160A-1s to the east for the aforementioned extension.

So forgetting all of the most recent completely lousy ass lectures (including the technical ones) in the thread about that stupid proposed real world's Culver Express trash and moving on, here are a couple of things that I think is worth looking into in the foreseeable future... -Rehab of any poor conditioned stations. -Transfer between the and at Broadway and Lorimer Street. -Change the current structure layout upstairs in the mezzanine areas at stations that don't offer a free transfer between directions (meaning stations like the local ones north of Nostrand Avenue, not meaning stations like Nostrand Avenue/Fulton Street or 86th Street/Lexington Avenue). -Make the local west of Myrtle Avenue-Broadway outside of the skip-stop service, to allow Jamaica/Nassau Street Line riders a direct transfer to the rather than changing to the or the . -Make the full-length with the future R211 expansion order if possible, which can push off the R179s to the east for fleet expansion or service increases. -Extend the to and from 179th Street to relieve 71st Avenue. -Get rid of all the "local" announcements and change some minor announcements such as restoring the old "This is a Manhattan-bound train" announcement previously made by Chowdery. -If that Culver Express crap fails and everything goes back to being completely local, the agency should look into extending the permanently to and from 18th Avenue, using the middle track at the station with diamond X switches between that station and Ditmas Avenue if possible. Or instead, just keep it at Church Avenue and the agency can go along with the most recent Culver Express proposal (posted in the other thread). This is all I can think of for now.

The currently runs at 15 tph during the rush, much like the does. When both lines run together on the Queens Boulevard Express, that's 30 tph combined, meaning that's a train every 2 minutes. It's impossible for a train to run more than 2 minutes apart. So basically, there's no other way you could run express service on the Culver Line in Brooklyn. The can't run more frequently because of its merging with the in Queens and for the reasons I've mention in the second sentence on this post. Unless you want to lower the 's headways (which can't happen due to ridership on the Jamaica Center branch and the 53rd Street branch) to allow more trains. While it's possible to run more midday/evening service (which currently runs 8-9 tph like the ), I doubt ridership during middays/evenings is high.

No. It's actually quite normal. The official schedule has southbound trains making local stops in Brooklyn to Utica around 9 something. It's been this way since like the aftermath of those 2010 cuts I believe. I think local service on the southbound Brooklyn portion of the starts after about 9:30 pm-ish or so.

Well, this is one hell of a surprise.

Well, the run between 96 and SF is shorter than the entire line between 242 and SF, and that the runs less frequently on weekends.

@Around the Horn (if you're reading this thread): I have to admit, I finally agree with what you said about the automated NTT announcements a couple months back. I can't remember the exact name of the thread (or the exact date) though. But anyway, yeah I agree with you that any line that makes all stops without an express service throughout its run shouldn't need to say "local" in it. Just "train" and that's it.

Yeah. Even the R62/62As, you can see a clear view of the front window, despite them having full-width cabs. The NTTs and the R44/46s, however, the view is quite blurry. Can you believe Around the Horn? Still disagree with you, but at the end, each to their own.

I've seen that set like a few days ago on the uptown side at Chambers while I was waiting for my downtown lol.

Hmm? Nah, no way.

Well for some reason, I thought MysteriousBtrain's wiki was the easiest option for me to post all my junction bottleneck reconfigurations and all of my other fantasies. On any wiki on the wikia network, they actually let you create your own page, photo, etc. and stuff like that.

I'll just present the links of what's left of some of my fantasy world here for the time being (not all of pages that I created on MysteriousBtrain's Wiki are fully finished yet, however, but they are what they are nonetheless): http://mtanyctransitfanon.wikia.com/wiki/RollOverTheFloor%27s_New_York_City_Subway_track_layout_changes http://mtanyctransitfanon.wikia.com/wiki/New_York_City_Subway_car_assignments_(RollOverTheFloor) http://mtanyctransitfanon.wikia.com/wiki/New_York_City_Subway_rolling_stock_(RollOverTheFloor) http://mtanyctransitfanon.wikia.com/wiki/New_York_City_Subway_shop_facility_assignments_(RollOverTheFloor) http://mtanyctransitfanon.wikia.com/wiki/New_York_City_Subway_rules_and_prohibition_(RollOverTheFloor) Yelp, that's that.

Btrain, I'm going to find somewhere else where I can place all my stuff from wikia instead. Some swine from the wikia community contacted me yesterday and claimed that the block "appears to be doing its job to prevent bad edits so it's not like I'm inclined to lift." Without any real proof/evidence that I was vandalizing/spamming in my contributions. I just scoffed and cringed at the response with shame and disgust.

The has the same 10 minute headways like the on Sundays and that's when I often see trains actually spending more time at 207 unless they're late of course.

Any 60 feet cars are better crowd handlers than 75 feet cars. But Around the Horn is, unfortunately, right. The 's headways, even during the off-peak hours (except Sunday), is more frequent which is why trains often never spend enough time at 207.

Yeah, thanks...I guess the admin staff on the wikia network seem to have a block-first mentality. Happens all the time unfortunately on both wiki and even wikipedia where I used to edit at. Good luck on your ideas btw Btrain.

"Your MTA Wiki" is where Btrain and I both make our own ideas, respectively. Sometimes, we present them here in the forums. For some odd reason, they blocked my account there as well as across all other wiki network for "spamming" and "vandalizing". But I know for sure it's a compete error, because I did nothing like that at all. Anyway, I already contacted them about the wrongful permanent blocking (dunno where they come from with that BS) but I have to wait for the next 2 or 3 days. I just hope all's well.
