[Gorgor]

Here's my newest fantasy map:

 

 

extended to Northern Blvd

extended to 227 Street

extended to Francis Lewis Blvd

extended to Coney Island

extended to Avenue U

extended to Kissena Blvd

extended to 125th Street and Lexington

extended to JFK

extended to 14th Street and 10th Avenue

extended to 254th Street

extended to 254th Street

 

added, going from 125th Street and Lex to Canarsie

goes to 5th Avenue from 63rd Street to 125th Street

 

Rush hour express service on from Coney Island to 59th Street (Brooklyn) and in Queens

Rush hour express service on from 145th Street to 96th Street

Rush hour express service on the

 

I also made the map look a bit more geographically accurate (especially in the Bronx).

Here's my newest fantasy map:

 

 

Minor Changes:

 

#1. trains stopping at two 125th Street Stations? Convert the east side of 125th Street Station to 125th Street-5th Avenue and the west side of 125th Street Station to 125th Street-Lenox Avenue.

 

#2. trains stopping at 2 Union Turnpike Stations? Convert them like what I just told you on step 1.

 

#3. For the Nassau/Jamaica Line, 4 trains in 1 track will be a disaster. There is an express track but both north and southbound trains can't go express at the same time in 1 track.

 

#4. Why including the ? The does a skip-stop route for only a short amount of time.

 

In my opinion, the map you created is not bad, but you did well!

It's fantasy, isn't it? But I agree about the Willy-B not able to handle that many trains. The could join with the , but then again, it might not be a true 2nd avenue line.

Alright, here we go.

 

1) service isn't needed past LGA

2) Astoria needs TWO lines

3) You have 2 Northern Blvd, 2 Union Turnpike, and 2 125 St.

4) The can't run to Lefferts/Francis Lewis. You need an express service there

5) Coney Island can't handle 5 lines

6) I don't really like the route. I would have it run to lower manhattan and then go into brooklyn

 

7) and extensions are good!

8) (2)/(5) extension is good too.

9) I find what you did with the very interesting. I like it though. It's something I haven't seen before. I say keep it that way

10) The extension is interesting too. I don't think there would be enough ridership for the and to run there though.

 

So I would cut the back to 95 St (or maybe 7th Av). Then I would send the to lower Manhattan and then have it go from there.

*Astoria needs TWO lines

*You have 2 Northern Blvd, 2 Union Turnpike, and 2 125 St.

*The can't run to Lefferts/Francis Lewis. You need an express service there

*Coney Island can't handle 5 lines

*The extension is interesting too. I don't think there would be enough ridership for the and to run there though.

*So I would cut the back to 95 St (or maybe 7th Av). Then I would send the to lower Manhattan and then have it go from there.

*Bah, screw NIMBY's. They had the lonely before swapping with the in the late '80s. The Astoria Exp can be eliminated while keeping the other express portion north of Astoria.

*Lenox Av/125 St and 5th Ave/125 St? Dunno the rest...

*Or make another Express variant and leave the with the Rockaways. :tup:

*It did handle 6 or more lines during the '70s and '80s. You can find said maps here.

*Maybe a extension to Riverdale?

*Or use the to go beyond 95th/Bklyn. :tup:

[TwoTimer]

Again, trying to utilize every piece of available express track without knowledge of what those express tracks do...

1. (4)'s cant express right out of Woodlawn without redesigning the yard. The middle track between Bedford and Woodlawn is used for putins and layups. Often they lay right up on Mosholu middle itself. That's why along with ridership demands the second Bx Xpress pilot ran from Kingsbridge.

2. Be better off running the through the yard and on new structure on Union Tpk itself and letting the extend up Hillside. There's no need to connect QB service with Northern Blvd if the continued up Roosevelt and onto Northern since its just a few blocks north.

3. The doesn't need to go past LGA, just needs to get a stop at each terminal. And like someone mentioned earlier, a second service is very helpful.

4. or should go to the Bx via Park Av (3rd Av el replacement) to Fordham (yes not Gun Hill), and what doesnt go to the Bx should go across 125.

5. Two (F)s?

6. I never liked the having local service up to Lefferts branch. I always preferred just having a new service provide 24/7 207-Lefferts to finally distinguish for the ridership between the two services (and no shuttle at night), and use something other than a R46 for the . Far Rock service to be express 24/7 in Manhattan.

7. So if the is express peak direction from 145 (bad idea anyways, 137 and 116 are major stops), what's stopping along the local?

 

Just a few thoughts.

[Alargule]

Hmm...the design looks a bit like a 'Calcagno meets Hertz'-hybrid to me...not bad!

[E Local]

Hmm I love it but there are somethings here that caught my eye:

 

- 3rd or Park Avenue's need the or there, & a 125 street crosstown to 137 street on the

- The should go past the Willy-B, to lower Manhattan & via Red hook to Coney Island, to replace the .

- I like the to JFK but extend the to the main part of the airport or might aswell take it out of there since the is there.

- I really like the extension/express service.

- I think the should go to Flushing-Main street with the

- The extension is good.

- Is there a AM/PM express service along the sea beach line since there is one track? or you renovated the other track?

 

 

Well that's pretty much it, but I really like this one

[Gorgor]

Thanks for the feedback guys.

 

- I'll fix the lines which have more than one station with the same name

- will be extended downtown and go into Brooklyn

- Bring back train to help serve Astoria, maybe cut the back to LGA

- Send the to the Bronx

- Get rid of express or just make it 4 tracks up there and bring back the as an express.

 

I think I'll leave the to JFK how it is. No offense to anyone, but I'd feel much safer riding the to the airport than the .

Problem is, the is a Brooklyn local. Also, the and both go to the West Side. IMO, extend the to JFK instead, to provide a Brooklyn Exp as well as an East Side alternative.

Amazing! If you could make a Unchanged one, I could use it to make mine!

 

I mean Unchanged as in no new lines or extensions. Everything else; same.

We must be very careful; if corrected provoked, necroposters can get very defensive. If we approch, we must do so slowly...

As one picture usually conveys more than a thousand words can do:

 

 

This Unchanged enough for ya?

Oh what the hell, never noticed the dates on the first thread. Wow lol.

Ah shuddup all of you. Ever heard of just asking a question? sheesh

[ttcsubwayfan]

It's bad internet etiquette to bump such old threads. For that matter, so is telling those who told you off for it to "shut up".

Ever heard of just sufficiently upvoting one of those 2010 previous posts in the first page?

Yes, but how would i be asking by doing that?

I know... I just don't like some people when they disturb me for a unimportant reason, perhaps, a stupid comment or activity.

[RollOver]

Yes, but how would i be asking by doing that?

 

Because this thread is over 3-4 years old and there's no point whatsoever by bumping it?

[Guest Lance]

General rule on the forum: if a thread is very old (the last post was made at least several months ago), you shouldn't post in it unless you have something new to add (and it should be important). I'm not trying to play moderator as that isn't my job anymore, but it is bad netiquette to bump old threads as it gives other members the idea that there was some kind of update, depending on the content of the original post.

[BM5 via Woodhaven]

You could've PM'ed the OP and talk to him about this, instead of bumping a three year old thread.
