RR503 Posted July 10, 2019 Share #21681 Posted July 10, 2019 This has been in the works for a while. They really shouldn't do it given all the operational issues it creates, but I guess if you have to, this is the way to do it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those Express trains are gonna get held at Church by the and some Local ’s 🤦🏽♂️ Let’s see if it breaks 3 and a half minutes worth of time savings.

They won't interact with s, but you can count on merge delays with the local . My real concern remains the impact on 6th Avenue service. Already, *any* gap in service heading towards Brooklyn in the PM snowballs to the point where the train following the gap invariably is late enough to be sent express Jay-Church. I shudder thinking about what dwells would be under full blown express without any additional service -- and by that point, you'd probably get problems in Brooklyn too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With QBL CBTC, could you run 17 trains for an 8.5/8.5 split? (Locals would terminate at Church and the would terminate at 18th middle). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about 10 , 10 and 12 (you would have also a service and a Lex 63-59 passageway to try to incentivize people to either take the or the local.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your is still going to 53, those 12tph of are going to be crowded as hell. 18/12 was the pre-63 operating pattern; there's a reason they changed it. I think you'd have to wait for some extensive Queens deinterlining before messing with frequencies there... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Posted July 11, 2019 Share #21690 Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) A couple thoughts: - On the to Coney Island, it was an R46 as I was on but onboard that train spotted 5 R46s back to back to Jamaica-179 St with another 2 behind that was a R46. After that, it was a 160. The rotation varies. - The to Metropolitian Av, instead is just Middle Village (observed on the FIND).

S78 via Hylan Posted July 11, 2019 Share #21692 Posted July 11, 2019 The uses up to 7-8 R46s during the rush, so it’s nothing unusual. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axis Posted July 11, 2019 Share #21696 Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) Let’s play a game: List 100 ways to fall into the 1 hour gap in bus service (n31, n32, Q114) going from Far Rockaway into Five Towns between 2:00 PM & 3:30 PM. I’ll start: 1) A dog is on the tracks in front of your train at Rockaway Boulevard, making it so that instead of arriving at Far Rockaway at 2:15 PM as scheduled, you arrive late & just miss the last bus out of Far Rockaway for the millionth time in a row.
