  1. If the trains in the subway were to be made driverless, would that enable the creation of longer routes?
  2. Some of you on the forum have discussed sending the to lefferts and the to Far Rockaway. Wouldn't that cause delays with interlining after Euclid?
  3. This is a proposal for cross-Bronx service with the Pelham Express and the Pelham Local and the servicing Fordham Road. The alignment could probably be improved, though. Any suggestions would have appreciated. http://imgur.com/uDMYCog
  4. Is it just me, or are R46 brakes generally quieter/less screechy than the other cartypes?
  5. Would it be possible to design ADA-accessible gap fillers?
  6. May I request: R46 LCD (P) Far Rockaway Nostrand Exp via Hammels And if you can't do it as the LCD could you do it as an R160 exterior side sign?
  7. Could you use gauntlet track? Have A Division trains stop closer to the platform and merge the gauntlet tracks after the station.
  8. The extension has rather wide bench walls. Would it be possible to join the bench walls through the tunnel wall and make even a narrow island platform?
  9. You're right. It's not impossible. What i'm saying is that it would probably cost more and require extra work, and i believe that such a sealing project would end up like the extension, especilly the incline elevators.
  10. Extending any subway line to Kings plaza would most likely have to be done as an el because of the water table. If you build it as subway, you will have issues like Line 14 of the Paris Metro. That said, a streetcar would make the B44 SBS redundant and probably raise lots of NIMBY opposition over traffic and loss of parking spaces.
  11. Does anyone here find the R160 announcement for Nostrand Avenue rather jarring?
  12. what does FUBAR mean? Also, is it frequent that when the goes CPW local, it goes local to canal when the MTA website says local to 59th??
  13. is rerouted to the between 145 St and 205 St stations. via Nassau St to Bay Pkwy station
  14. Yup. And A trains were running local between Utica and 59th.
  15. What if the West 4 Street, DeKalb Avenue, and Atlantic Avenue stations all had a power loss on all tracks?
  16. Would it be possible to streamline that design? Also, if the Brighton line got CBTC, would it be any more feasible?
  17. Just an idea for changing the Brighton Beach terminal to reduce passenger confusion. One island platform would be used for termination, and the other for through trains. The drawbacks, though, are the amount of switching and the fact that a new switches may need to be installed East of Ocean Pkwy on the Q. http://imgur.com/gallery/cq0Rkxo
