How is it possible to terminate the (A) at Lafayette Av?

 

 

Some ridiculous layup, and even then I only think they can reach Clinton-Washington...

 

NEXT: (boi)

 

Simple enough right? All IND stations between Jay Street and 34th Street are impassable southbound. Wrong-railing is only allowed on 6th Avenue b/w W.4th Street and 34th Street.

I checked the map, and a train would have to dump and turn around FIVE times to relay at Lafayette Av. BAD IDEA.

 

 

It's actually SIX, but either way, terrible idea...

NEXT: The Cortlant Street Stop is closed in both directions. No trains can stop there. Also the (B) and (D) tracks on the Manhattan Bridge are closed.. The (R), (D), and (B) trains must be rerouted.

OBSTACLES:

-Provide Whitehall St with subway service to Brooklyn

-This will also incorporate buses. Shuttle bus service must be provided to the stations where subway service is not provided. Shuttle buses must connect to a station with a transfer on both sides.

Buses are pointless because there are so many subway lines nearby. But if it's necessary:

BUS1: 2 Av - Grand St - Delancey/Essex

BUS2: Canal St - City Hall - Cortlandt St - Rector St - South Ferry/Whitehall St.

 

(B) No trains between 34 St-Herald Sq and Whitehall St. Reduced service in Brooklyn.

(D) No trains between 2 Av and Whitehall St - take the (F) to connect between sections.

(R) Trains run via the Manhattan Bridge in both directions.

 

NEXT

The outside tracks at 47/50 Sts are unusable.

 

Reroute: southbound (B)(D), northbound (F)(M), anything else as needed
