engineerboy6561 Posted June 30, 2009 Share #43 Posted June 30, 2009 How does this sound? All trains run express in Brooklyn between Jay St and Church Av all times, using the lower level of the Bergen St station to transfer to/from trains. Rush hours extend the south of Lower East Side/2 Av to Kings Highway via existing trackage. trains running in peak direction during that time would use the center express track to provide express service as far south as Kings Highway. Just north of the station, trains would switch onto the center track, stop, and reverse to use the Manhattan-bound local track to go back up while peak-direction trains continue to Stillwell. One plus to this idea is that if something were to happen to one or more trains,you could pull an R46 set out of CIY and sign it up as a to pick up the slack.

The does not have enough cars or trains per hour to handle the load of the especially at 4th Avenue. It would get swamped big time. Do any of you actually ride the system and pay attention to the load? or is everyone just a computer chair "dispatcher/planner" moving things around cause it will fulfill whatever foamer dream that they have in their tiny hearts?

Joe Posted July 1, 2009 Share #47 Posted July 1, 2009 Why do people keep pulling the out their butts? The will NEVER touch Brooklyn soil. Plz no more extending the . Not that I necessarily agree with some of the ideas some people here have, but think about the following problem: trains are running express in Brooklyn. What line would run local? As Julio said, the cannot handle the loads due to short trains & long headways. The is the next logical choice to send to Brooklyn. For hilarity's sake, lets envision that the was designated express in BK and the serviced all the local stations along the line (terminating at Church Av). The fellas at the local stations (probably going to/from Manhattan) now have to wait a while for a to come around and then wait again for an . Considering the residents of the affected areas, political pressure would be put on immediately to provide these people with access to Manhattan.
