Routes that aren't around that should be

With all the interconnections the system has is there a reason why we don't have different routes say a 8th av line to coney island via bridge or other a 8th av line via the cut to the bmt eastern div? Any comments or other routes that can be made but arent?

I'd say bring back the 70(AA) have that or the (A) go one place.

(AA) To Lefferts Blvd or (A) to Lefferts and the other goes to the Rockaway.

 

id let the (C) go to Lefferts. i dont see what the problem is with that. (A) to Far Rockaway with rush hour service to Rockaway Pk, (C) to Lefferts, (E) to Kings Hwy via Culver.

Hello the double letters were elimanted for a reason. They were a big ugly mess on the (MTA)'s map, and tourists had trouble realizing what was what. Just because you people want double letters doesn't mean the (MTA) would go with it, and most likely they will not go back to the double letter system.

Better yet (F) To Euclid(extended to Lefferts Rush Hrs,late nights & weekends) (C) To Church,(G) To Stillwell.

 

hell no, lol. the (F) from Jamaica Queens, thru Manhattan, thru brooklyn, then back to Queens? not a good look. that'll be like the (M) today. besides, ppl are used to the (F) along Mc.Donald Av, and the (C) via Fulton.

 

as for the (G) to Coney Island....thats not a bad idea, but it will delay the (F) at Stillwell.

i still feel like Church Av should be a permanent terminal for the (G) instead of Smith-9 Sts.

The (G) is not going to Coney Island. Stop foaming there is no more room in Coney Island for another train unless they remove one. The (G) is also a crosstown line, and people on the Culver Line would complain if it goes down the Culver Line, because they want Manhattan. Plus extending the (G) to Manhattan would kill the purpose of the crosstown line so no. How the hell is an Eighth Avenue service get to Coney Island when there is no way it can be send down there without digging a connection to a Coney Island bound line. The (MTA) has no money for foamtastic dreams. Get Real!.:mad:

Yea I was like wtf.No one is foaming.Who even said the (G) was going to Manhattan.And 8th Av service can get to Coney Island via 8th Av the (A)(C) switch over before Jay St and there you go.Other options re-routing a 8th Av line after W4th via Broadway Lafayette.How you think the (E) goes to 2nd Av or the (D) goes to 2nd Av via 8th Av.And (C).

8 Av could have a direct line to Coney Island*, (the (E) mostly) but it'll have to be extended via the (A)(C) line to Jay St and then rerouted over the (F) line cuz:

1.There is no switch on the downtown side on the 6 Av line to go from the local (F)(M) track back to the express (:((D) track south of West 4 St.

2. The 6 Av local tracks are being used by both the (F)(M). Adding the (E) to run from West 4 St to Coney Island*/Kings Hwy via Delancey St would cause major delays on both the (F) and (M). So its alot better if they have the (E) via the (A)(C) lines to Jay St, then via the (F) line to Coney Island*/Kings Hwy.

 

*The (E) train to Coney Island can only happen if the (F) terminates at Kings Hwy. you cant terminate both at Coney Island because that will cause delays, especially during rush hours.

 

theres no way the (G) can go to Coney Island as a 24/7 route because ppl want direct service to and from Manhattan. the only time the (G) can be sent to Coney Island is when theres a G.O., or an emergency situation, which would still be bad cuz during those emergency G.O.'s, the (G) is still a 4-car train, and will not be enough to accomodate a rush hour load on the entire Culver Line. its way too many people on that line.

Running (A), (C) and (E) trains via the Cranberry Street tunnel then having (E) switch over to the (F) line at Jay Street is a recipe for disaster. All it will take is one sick passenger or stalled train.

 

then they'll have to suspend the (C) temporarily if thats the case and have Lefferts Blvd (A)'s run local. it'll be just like the 60 st tunnel on the (N)(Q)(R). if anything goes wrong, the (Q) terminates at 57 St/7 Av while the ®'s run via the 63 St (F) line. The (N) would be the only train goin thru there with delays. believe me, ive gone thru worst case senarios with these damn trains.

Why don't we just wait till the (T) gets to Second Avenue along with the (F), and then send it down the Culver Line. There problem solved.

 

because the (MTA) is not willing to build a tunnel to connect the 2 Av (T) subway to the (F) line in Brooklyn. unfortunately they're broke. if it wasnt listed in the (MTA) Capital Program from the get go, then its not gonna happen. its bad enough the (Q) train hasnt even started running via 2 Ave yet, and that was phase 1 of the project that was supposed to have been started already. Once Phase 1 is done, they gonna have to reroute the (Q) off the Astoria line and onto the 2 Av line as it was originally planned. Another thing the (MTA) is gonna have to do is bring back the (W) to make up for the loss of the (Q) in astoria. thats money right there. theres no way the MTA is gonna squeeze in a plan to connect the (T) tunnel to an (F) tunnel and have the (T) run via the (F) line. im not saying it cant happen in the future, but they gotta finish what they originally started. once the complete 2 Av subway is built, and IF there is enough money for it, then the MTA might go ahead and plan an extention for the (T) to go to and from Brooklyn. but as of right now, i really dont see it happening.

The original plan was to have the Second Av trunk tie into the Christine St Cut and access the BMT Southern and Eastern Divisions via the bridges.

Anybody else see the contradiction there? First yo bash others for ideas using connections that are already built, then go turn around and pitch an idea for something that isn't even halfway built yet. The (T) is not going down the Culver, give up already

 

If that's not calling the kettle black, then I dunno what is
