EE Broadway Local Posted January 8, 2011 Share #37 Posted January 8, 2011 With the and both running local, that'll actually mean double the service between 36th Street and Kew Gardens-Union Turnpike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadcruiser1 Posted January 8, 2011 Share #38 Posted January 8, 2011 Yeah, but it would overload the local tracks. It won't work. Plus there are people that use express service to get to work you know. A better idea would be to build a line parallel to the existing Queens trunk branch using Cemetery Way which is totally unserved by subway service in Queens. The closest existing train you could send down this branch would be the , but this is impossible, because the construction of the Second Avenue Subway is barely working out. How would this line be built. Don't worry about the name Cemetery Way it's the name of the road, because it passes by several cemeteries along the way like Calvary Cemetery.

RtrainBlues Posted January 8, 2011 Share #39 Posted January 8, 2011 What work is being done to totally shut down the R train in Brooklyn for at least 3 weekends in January (1/15-1/16, 1/22-1/23, 1/29-1/30)? I'm assuming it's track work between 59th and 95th/Bay Ridge that warrants a complete suspension of service? (The shuttle buses do not run often enough and there are always very large crowds waiting to board.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark 1 Posted January 8, 2011 Share #40 Posted January 8, 2011 Losing the R train entirely for a few weekends changes the D, E, F, N and Q. As a, result the D & N will run local on 4 Av in conjunction with the switch work going on at Pacific St so the R in Brooklyn is out. I see the Whitehall St short turn option is not going to be used this time so the N and Q will have to pick up the slack on Broadway and at least the N will have to run via the tunnel if there is no work in the area. On a side note, the E and F running local during a R suspension is nothing new and will not overload the local tracks. In my opinion though, only the E should run local with increased service and keep the F express but I can see why the TA will just run both lines local.

R32 3838 Posted January 8, 2011 Share #41 Posted January 8, 2011 Would be nice, I'd love to see some R46s back on the . sorry to say this but the supervisor so called banned them from the , it would be all R160's if possible the would take the ®'s R46's but they have extra R160's,so they would just simply lay up all the R46's. They should just send the or the to 71st,would have been so much easier just via 63rd, it would be nice to see trains at 21st st queensbridge.

They cant do that tho, that same weekend they got the turning at TSQ, nothing can go past 57 St that weekend, there doing construction, so thats another problem......

RtrainBlues Posted January 8, 2011 Share #44 Posted January 8, 2011 What is preventing the R from running shuttle service in Brooklyn every 10 minutes between 36th and 95th all weekend long, like they've done in the past? It would certainly be cheaper than hiring additional drivers for shuttle buses for at least 3 weekends in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtrak7 Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share #45 Posted January 8, 2011 Trackwork in 2 places: 60th St Tube, as evident by the suspension 57th-QBP the same weekend. 4 Ave south of 59th, as evident by the Brooklyn shuttle buses the next weekend.

RtrainBlues Posted January 8, 2011 Share #47 Posted January 8, 2011 Does anyone know what specific track-work is scheduled for at least 3 weekends in Bay Ridge to warrant shuttle bus service? Will these shuttle buses continue throughout February & March weekends? The buses are crush-loaded and passengers often have to wait for 3 or 4 buses to get on (with each bus coming every 5 minutes).
