asidrane Posted February 16, 2011 Share #6 Posted February 16, 2011 To implement the route, that would require an 8th ave train to switch at west 4th and then again at the Christie cut, right? Wouldn't this service pattern cause big delays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't this service pattern cause big delays? Not really. The route is completely covered by the from 168 St to 50 St, then covered by both the & trains from 50 St to WTC. Besides, I don't think the WTC station can handle any more trains. Here's something just for sentimental purposes (the never ran R68s but you get the point lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kacie Jane Posted February 16, 2011 Share #8 Posted February 16, 2011 To implement the route, that would require an 8th ave train to switch at west 4th and then again at the Christie cut, right? Wouldn't this service pattern cause big delays? I think you're confused because there have been two separate and very different K trains. The that existed for a short time in the 80s was just a renaming of the 70(AA), and as mentioned, ran from 168th to WTC. The 70(K) from the 60s and 70s ran from 57th/6th Avenue via the Chrystie cut to various points in the Eastern Division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilbluefoxie Posted February 16, 2011 Share #10 Posted February 16, 2011 none, its unneeded at this time. We have a running middays and weekends and uses the 6th avenue-broadway route Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCTNostalgia Posted February 16, 2011 Share #11 Posted February 16, 2011 The (K)/70(AA) was a pretty useless route. No rush hour service, because it was covered by the 70(CC) which became the diamond , and covered by the 70( which became the diamond ( for 155 St, 163 St, and 168 St. It only ran Middays, Evenings, and Weekends only! No late night service. The has no hope, unless a future route is created. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted February 16, 2011 Share #12 Posted February 16, 2011 Man, I miss playing this route in BVE, it went from New Jersey over the GWB to the line to Nostrand then an fictional route to Kings Plaza, hella fun. Esp when you went express in Jersey or out in brooklyn, and the GWB had timers on it. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4P3607 Posted February 16, 2011 Share #14 Posted February 16, 2011 the wouldn't be needed nowadays. We have the . The only reason the was around was because of the . Though skip-stop service on the I would like. IMO it needs it, waay too many local stops . Though I heard this from a website (NOT nycsubway.org) that the skip-stop line with the was originally supposed to be (Y). If you check my first Youtube videos on 4P3607, you will see I made my own rollsign (inspired by INDMan). I have the (Y) bullet in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadcruiser1 Posted February 17, 2011 Share #18 Posted February 17, 2011 Well I don't see any use for the letter unless if we need a Canarsie Skip-Stop service. It should best be conserved for use on the Canarsie Line in the unknown future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No late night service. The has no hope, unless a future route is created. I wouldn't call it useless. If you only travel during rush hours, then okay, sure. But if you wanted to take the kids to the Museum of Natural History on a weekend, then it came in pretty handy. By the same logic, the 70(CC) was useless, because it only ran rush hours. But if you take the two of them together, you have basically what the is today, except service to Brooklyn was slowly expanded over time. (First middays, which is why I think they renamed the , then weekends a decade later.) If we're just talking about the K letter, then the most likely scenario is not changing service at all, but just renaming the to Lefferts as the K, like a lot of people here have suggested. But the MTA isn't smart enough for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
