    You would need to somehow dig a new tunnel from the local track of the (6) to connect to the old local track of the original line north/westbound (now Track 4 on the shuttle) and the same southbound from the (1) from 50th to connect to what is Track 1 on the shuttle, plus obviously lengthen the Grand Central and Times Square Stations on what currently is the shuttle. It would be an engineering nightmare to say the least.

     

    Hence, why I said to never mind the difficulty.

    Revival of the old IRT double local that ran on Lexington south of 42nd St and Broadway north of it.

     

    8 local train.

    Would alleviate local crowding on both the (1) and (6). Never mind the difficulty in organizing such a line.

    Add 96th Street for the (A)(D) along Central Park West. I think that's equidistant between 59 and 125th Streets.

     

    This isn't possible with the current track layout. The uptown and downtown lines are stacked along the park. There's no way to get the (A) or (D) to stop at 96th.

     

    In other news, my infill stations:

    Avenue T (:P(Q)

    Neptune Ave (B)(Q)

    3rd St (N)(R)

    7th Ave South (C)(E)

    Tillary St (F)

    Atlantic Ave (F)

    Sorry for the bump but I had to post it.

     

    14th St (S). To serve the E Village. Color Gray.

    1. 8th Av

    2. 6th Av

    3. Union Sq

    Skips 3rd Av

    4. 1st Av

    Turns off (L) Tracks

    5. Ave B

    Turns on Ave B

    6. 6th St

    7. Houston St

     

    For a shuttle on Ave B, you could keep it tighter for better stops. After 14th and B, how about

    10th St

    7th St

    4th St

    Houston St

    i wouldnt create a whole new entire route, but i would do some minor changes:

     

    Blue (M):

    Blue (M) runs from Metropolitan Av to Washington Hts-168 St via 8 Av/CPW Local daily.

    Stops are:

    between Metropolitan Av and Essex St, then:

    Broadway-Lafayette

    West 4 St-8 Av

    14 St-8 Av

    23 St-8 Av

    34 St-Penn Station

    42 St-PABT-Times Sq

    50 St-8 Av

    59 St-Columbus Circle

    then all former (C) stops to/from 168 St.

    Late Night Blue (M) remains unchanged.

     

    Orange (C):

    Orange (C) runs from Euclid Av to Forest Hills via Fulton St/6 Av/53 St/Qns Blvd Local, daily.

     

    Stops are:

    between Euclid Av and West 4 St, then:

    14 St-6 Av

    23 St-6 Av

    34 St-Herald Sq

    42 St-Bryant Pk

    47-50 Sts/Rockefeller Center

    5 Av-53 St

    Lex Av-53 St

    Queens Plaza

    36 St

    then all former (M) stops to and from Forest Hills.

    Late Night orange (C) remains unchanged.

     

     

    I understand the routing...but why?

    Queens

    B169 St - Fort Tilden

    B147 St - Jacob Riis Park

    B135 St

    B125 St

    Merge with Rockaway Park (S)

    B116 St

    B105 St

    B98 St

    B90 St

    Merge with Far Rockaway (A)

    B67 St

    B60 St

    B44 St

    B36 St

    Mott Avenue-Far Rockaway

     

    Those are some mighty fast jaunts through Manhattan and Brooklyn.

    Also, I know it's sort of beating a dead horse, but Rockaways/Breezy Point riders don't really need service past Beach 116th St.

    Also also, your four Manhattan stops are pretty confusing. E 116th St, 42nd St, either Broadway-Lafayette or LES-2 Av, then West Houston and Av C? Some local service is cool too.

    2. Hudson St - 9th Av - Columbus Av Local to 125th St at Park Av. White (9) bullet, runs R142As and R188s.
