Quill Depot Posted July 16, 2011 Share #3 Posted July 16, 2011 A small question: Should the Rockaway Park Shuttle become the again or should it keep its' ? For a trip down memory lane, here is the original classic Rockaway Park HH route bullet: No, I think it's too short to be a subway route. It'd only become an again if it was extended.

EE Broadway Local Posted July 16, 2011 Author Share #6 Posted July 16, 2011 The reason behind my asking is historically (truthfully on and off) the Rockaway Park service has been designated an H. Most recently . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill from Maspeth Posted July 17, 2011 Share #9 Posted July 17, 2011 The reason behind my asking is historically (truthfully on and off) the Rockaway Park service has been designated an H. Most recently . As far as I know as long as R44's, then R46's have been there it has been known as (grey) S. Because management wants an S up there instead of an H. Period!

GreatOne2k Posted July 17, 2011 Share #11 Posted July 17, 2011 Rename the Rockaway Park to along with the shuttle, that would make more sense. It would cut down on the number of terminals. The Lefferts should also become . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadcruiser1 Posted July 17, 2011 Share #14 Posted July 17, 2011 I think what some people are still trying to say is the is way too long. Many people want to shorten the route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like the trains backtrack to service all the branches. the trains only goes to one terminal each. So it's basically the 'same'. The line is what it is. It took over the LIRR's former branch. Frankly, the is fine as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lance25 Posted July 17, 2011 Share #17 Posted July 17, 2011 I think what some people are still trying to say is the is way too long. Many people want to shorten the route. And where would you shorten it to? Lefferts? Euclid? What will serve the areas that wouldn't be served by the , the ? The ? Or perhaps a brand new line like the , or <R> or maybe the (I) (O) (P) (U) (X) or (Y)? No, the is fine just how it is. It's been fine since the line was extended into the Rockaways some 50 years ago and we all know how well the extended and lines worked out. An old adage comes to mind, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRT Bronx Express Posted July 17, 2011 Share #19 Posted July 17, 2011 I think what some people are still trying to say is the is way too long. Many people want to shorten the route.This.Length-wise (and during the nocturnal hours), it's a very long line. In terms of express service, eh... Lefferts Blvd - 30 stops Far Rockaway - 36 stops Rockaway Park - 34 stops Not counting Aqueduct Racetrack since it's open at a certain time. Not to mention that the has 40 stops from Washington Heights to Euclid Avenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R110B Posted July 18, 2011 Share #21 Posted July 18, 2011 ill take a H or K for simple renaming branches instead of getting trains mixed up by confusion in terminals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Louis Car 09 Posted July 18, 2011 Share #22 Posted July 18, 2011 I would love to see the make a return,but it would be pointless.It would be like bringing back the express........ could you bring back the Express?......PPPLEEEEEEEASEEEEE!!!!

Roadcruiser1 Posted July 18, 2011 Share #23 Posted July 18, 2011 Nope. The was killed in the past, because not much people used it, and people kept stepping into it without paying so there isn't any use there, and the JFK Air Train is already doing the job.

QM1to6Ave Posted July 18, 2011 Share #24 Posted July 18, 2011 At 71st/Continental, for a few years, on the entrance, there was a black H in a circle next to the and then it disappeared. Never saw a train with that, lol. Any ideas what it was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
