CDTA Posted May 31, 2012 Share #901 Posted May 31, 2012 Yeah but it's not really missing that many stations and it is unnecessary. I could understand suspending the if it were to cut off at say, Jay St,but this goes to Utica, and Utica can handle both as a temporary terminal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lance Posted May 31, 2012 Share #910 Posted May 31, 2012 That's a lot of service on the Brighton line, don't you think? Here's how I do this one: - Bedford Park Blvd/145 St to 2 Av or WTC (to open up Brighton tracks) - 205 St to 9 Av via Brighton Express & Coney Island - split service; Ditmars Blvd to APB (4th Avenue platforms) via Whitehall, 59 St to Coney Island - split service; 71 Av to Whitehall St, 59 St/4 Av to 95 St single tracked use nearby buses for 4th Avenue service between Pacific Street and 59th Street/4th Avenue 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton Express Posted May 31, 2012 Share #911 Posted May 31, 2012 They had the on the Brighton once, the Brighton Express, and the Brighton Local when they were having some problems at 4 Av, so everything should be alright. But I probably should have added some more buses. NEXT Due to a transformer blowing up, the power goes out on the President St to Flatbush Av, and the Parkside Av to Brighton Beach. No trains can pass Parkside Av on the Express, or they will lose power. Reroute accordingly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next: A track fire at 36th Street-4th Avenue makes the station unusable in both directions. Trains can loop through Coney Island to minimize the need for shuttle bus service. In the interest of minimizing and simplifying changes: Run via Brighton Local, through Coney Island to 9 and 8 Av respectively. Terminates at Atlantic-Barclays. Terminates at Brighton Beach to not get in the way of the at Coney Island. No service south of Atlantic-Barclays. TBH, a train from 59 to 95 St could be run, but it would be nearly useless. NEXT Due to a transformer blowing up, the power goes out on the President St to Flatbush Av, and the Parkside Av to Brighton Beach. No trains can pass Parkside Av on the Express, or they will lose power. Reroute accordingly. After Chambers St, runs via the to Rector St, then reverses through Old South Ferry and returns uptown. No service south of Bowling Green. No trains south of 2 Av. Trains run via the Atlantic Av to Coney Island, then up to Brighton Beach.

Gorgor Posted June 1, 2012 Share #916 Posted June 1, 2012 Would any of you like to take a look at a track map to see why looping around Coney Island isn't possible? http://images.nycsubway.org/trackmap/pm_southeast.png As you can see by it, trains going between Brighton and West End both ways would have to share ONE track, plus get in the way of trains, rendering it a gridlock situation at Coney Island. Coney Island looks like it was built for use as a terminal only, the tracks connecting it are not meant to be used for thru service. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NX Express Posted June 1, 2012 Share #917 Posted June 1, 2012 If the are both sent through CI, it could work.
