R1103 Posted September 26, 2010 Share #26 Posted September 26, 2010 Just one thing about the to Lefferts-the reason it wouldn't succeed (in my opinion) wouldn't be the fact that it is local and that customers would have to transfer to the -it is because extending the to Lefferts requires additional trainsets, which would have to be taken from the . Although this means more service to Far Rockaway, this means less service on the mainline between Rockaway Blvd and 207th Street. Of course, since this is a fantasy map, where money and NIMBYs are assumed to be no object, "there could be the additional trainsets for the , and the idea would be sound." What if when the R-179 debuts in 2015, could that service be made possible? Meaning that with the additional trainsets, this could become a reality?

checkmatechamp13 Posted September 26, 2010 Share #27 Posted September 26, 2010 If you had the money available to pay the extra train operators, then, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest UnionTpke E F Posted September 26, 2010 Share #30 Posted September 26, 2010 Also I like the idea of one of the Nassau St routes down 4th Ave or the West End in Bklyn during rush hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share #34 Posted October 17, 2010 I'm working on updating the map currently. So far, I've brought back the , and am looking into adding a line to the 8th Ave trunk. Is it currently possible for a train to terminate at Queens Plaza? I'm considering using it as a terminus for that line, probably to be christened the (Y). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't be very helpful to Queens users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Concourse Posted October 17, 2010 Share #37 Posted October 17, 2010 Bad idea to terminate at QP, slows/ties up the express. Not good for rush hours. Best to send it up to Forest Hills or maybe to 179th with the since the express tracks goes that far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share #38 Posted October 17, 2010 I'm thinking Forest Hills, but does the 8th Ave line need a second QB express is my main concern. ...Full-time skip-stop with the , anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted October 17, 2010 Share #39 Posted October 17, 2010 It's your map. I don't really think Queens needs another 8th Av line since they have to go thru 53rd St to get to 8th Av. And skip stop is a bad idea. Just leave the as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share #40 Posted October 17, 2010 I'm still just trying to figure out a way to not have the have a terminus at Ozone Park; I feel that it's just awkward with the split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted October 17, 2010 Share #41 Posted October 17, 2010 Like I've said: the is really two lines in one. All that's really needed is to redsignate one branch with another letter like a and leave the other as the . Other than that. No changes needed.

Eric Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share #42 Posted October 18, 2010 That's pretty much what I'd be doing, I guess. Perhaps have the run from Ozone Park to 168 St? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted October 18, 2010 Share #43 Posted October 18, 2010 Nah, you can send it up to 207th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share #44 Posted October 18, 2010 Sounds good to me. Would it make any sense to make it a super-express of sorts? Or would people just then ride the all the time and take a big cut out of ridership? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted October 18, 2010 Share #45 Posted October 18, 2010 Again, the current is more or less 2 lines in 1. Plus how can you run a super express if the is sharing the same tracks? If people are going to their respective terminals, they are likely not going to pick one over the other unless the train is too crowded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share #47 Posted October 18, 2010 Another question: Would there be enough demand to run the Culver Express one-way peak? The stops would be: Jay St Bergen St (reopen lower level) 7 Av Church Av 18 Av Kings Hwy Av X then local to Coney Island It'd run Manhattan-bound in the morning peak, Brooklyn-bound in the evening peak, and the would service Coney Island as a local during those times, and be cut back to Church Av off-peak and on weekends. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadcruiser1 Posted October 18, 2010 Share #48 Posted October 18, 2010 The should never ever run down the Culver Line as a local or express. The made a similar decision in the 1970's and it failed miseriably. The Culver residents want Manhattan. A good idea is instead of sending the to Lower Manhattan, and Brooklyn that way the should be sent along with the once the reaches Houston St. Therefore the would run as the Culver Express to Avenue U. The should still run to Coney Island as a local. Though the could be extended into the Bronx on a section of new track by the Metro North alignment.

Law Posted October 18, 2010 Share #49 Posted October 18, 2010 I had a similar decision in my map http://www.nyctransitforums.com/forums/showpost.php?p=335647&postcount=35 I had the run express during peak, with the extended as a local, however in your case, do what Roadcrusier suggests, send the from 2 Av onto the 6th Av line and run on the Culver.
