EE Broadway Local Posted November 12, 2010 Share #1 Posted November 12, 2010 The new I.R.T. Crossunder provides a safe transfer between Uptown and Downtown trains at 59th Street-C.C.. What"s neat about this Crossunder is that it uses part of the previously closed, disused center platform at 59th Street-C.C.. I believe the new Crossunder opened earlier this week.

Alargule Posted November 12, 2010 Share #2 Posted November 12, 2010 Sorry for asking, but what's the use of a transfer between uptown and downtown trains on the same line? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rr4567 Posted November 12, 2010 Share #4 Posted November 12, 2010 Since the IRT is shallow at 59th,if you entered on the south side of the station wanting to go northbound 1, or vice versa, you had to work your way along the IND to get to the other side IRT platform. it's more about controling IND level crowding than anything else. And technically, you still have to walk through IND space to get to the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric B Posted November 12, 2010 Share #5 Posted November 12, 2010 Is this the middle IND platform being talked about? I was wondering when all that would be finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EE Broadway Local Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share #6 Posted November 12, 2010 @Alargule: I may have phrased that wrong. A CrossUnder, such as this, provides a safe way for passengers to change direction within fare control. i.e. If someone enters on the northbound side, but actually wants to go southbound. Sorry for asking, but what's the use of a transfer between uptown and downtown trains on the same line? :confused: @Eric B. This is the middle IND. platform that has been disused at 59th Street-CC. The new I.R.T. CrossUnder uses part of it. Is this the middle IND platform being talked about?I was wondering when all that would be finished.

Eric B Posted November 13, 2010 Share #9 Posted November 13, 2010 Are all of the new street exits complete, or at least whatever they were building in the middle of the circle? It seemed like they were never finishing that project. What else is left to be done? Just the IRT station? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
