Grand Concourse Posted December 2, 2009 Share #2 Posted December 2, 2009 How are you going to make the C an express from 50th and down? I don't think the track map shows such a thing possible. South of 34th is where it can be possible, but I think local riders needs the C more than the express riders do. I say, leave Manhattan as is. The rest of Brooklyn-Queens sounds reasonable since the A/C would be sharing the river tunnel and the T connected directly to the local track.* * I mean there should be a new river tunnel for the T than the T to share tracks with the F to get to Brooklyn. Connect it to Court St [the transit museum] and then run local on the Fulton line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Line1291 Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted December 2, 2009 I was gonna say construct new switches before 50th St but to make my fantasy map more financially friendly the can run as an Eighth Ave Local along with the and the branches off the tracks after Jay St and connects w/ the unused local tracks at Hoyt St like Grand Concourse said so it wouldnt disrupt (A)/© Brooklyn express service.

CenSin Posted December 2, 2009 Share #4 Posted December 2, 2009 I feel a lot of rider frustration coming as the TPH drops where four different services are working the switches heavily (). The connection from the Second Avenue line to the Queens Boulevard line will add another service for the to mingle with, reducing its TPH further although people might see it as a good thing since it's a direct trip downtown parallel to the Lexington Avenue line.

R32 3348 Posted December 2, 2009 Share #7 Posted December 2, 2009 It wouldn't have to lower the (F)'s TPH. The runs 15TPH and the runs 10TPH during rush hours. The 63rd St. tunnel should be able to handle 25TPH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 63rd St. tunnel should be able to handle 25TPH. What about at Jay Street? When you make trains switch from one track to the other where there would otherwise be no mingling, you reduce the TPH of both tracks that are involved. Every switch incurs a performance penalty. The longer you keep a train on the same track without intervention from other trains, the closer to the maximum TPH you get. I understand that routing possibilities are important to get people where they want, but the routings shouldn't be employed when they cause an overall drop in service quality. Just imagine: you have a Manhattan-bound merging into the express tracks south of Hoyt–Schermerhorn Streets. All the and trains will be held until the clears the station. And then it has to merge into the Sixth Avenue line north of Jay Street holding up and trains. Either that, or the (A)/©/(F) holds up the .

2Line1291 Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share #14 Posted December 4, 2009 Two things I liked what I did was giving IND Queens riders axcess to the East Side by turning the into a 2nd Ave train and making the be able to run express in Brooklyn and terminate @ Lefferts by having the run Fulton St Local.

Eric B Posted December 4, 2009 Share #16 Posted December 4, 2009 That was apparently not impossible, as it was an idea the once had as a Manhattan Bridge alternative. (so 6th ave trains could have direct access to Franklin ave station for the transfer to the Brighton). It was ruled out as too disruptive to the property above ground.

Eric B Posted December 6, 2009 Share #18 Posted December 6, 2009 What do you mean by "longer"? It wouldn't have been any kind of extension past Franklin; just giving the station access to a 6th Ave. service as an alternative to the bridge. The only extension of the shuttle might have been to Brighton Beach if it was a full shutdown. If it were a permanent closure, then they might increase the track and station capacity.

If you're making a new East River tunnel, just connect it to Court St and move the Museum somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted December 6, 2009 Share #21 Posted December 6, 2009 Exactly. I've suggested places like Bowery-Canal. They could even build an extended platform over the 'northbound express track' [which there is no track anymore] and you can have one very long platform from end to end. The sacrifice of course would be no place to put the mock subway car and bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El person Posted December 6, 2009 Share #22 Posted December 6, 2009 What's the point? If you're making a new East River tunnel, just connect it to Court St and move the Museum somewhere. (I think) it would be cheaper to just bring the line under the museum or make it go on an S curve onto Livingston St than to move the museum somewhere else.

Grand Concourse Posted December 6, 2009 Share #23 Posted December 6, 2009 How will that be 'cheaper'? The museum is only there because it ends at a stub. It's a perfectly useable station and would be better used for service if there's a need for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Line1291 Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share #24 Posted December 7, 2009 Which would be cheaper and which one would be more costly...... 1) the map above which doesnt require a river tunnel but requires building connection around LES-2nd Ave so the could run on 2nd Ave. 2) build a new Court St station under the New York Transit Museum and a new tunnel across East River 3) relocate the NY Transit Museum, revive the Court St station and a new tunnel across East River..

In my fantasy map at http://nyctransitforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14461, the museum is moved to City Hall , it has the platforms cut, and <6>s turn at a new loop from the nearby relay tracks.
