TheSubwayStation Posted August 23, 2012 Share #1951 Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) trains are extended from Nereid Avenue to Wakefield-241 Street. There, I think... Good. No fowm. NEXT: Due to an emergency, the West 4 Street-Washington Square station is impassible on both levels. Affected: Another one, purposely made to do with the above one. Otherwise, if lazy, do it separate. Due to another emergency, the Kew Gardens-Union Turnpike station is also impassible, including the lower level (layups, yard tracks, etc.) Affected: I'll do the second one since the first one has been done so much already: WTC - Queens Plaza or 71 Av Coney Island - 71 Av Metropolitan Av - Queens Plaza OR Chambers St normal route except: trains use different switches at 71 Av, and some trains terminate at 57 St/7 Av Jamaica riders are advised to use buses or the and trains. NEXT: Due to a huge event near Atlantic Av-Barclays Center, service must be maximized to that area. Rules: 1. No fowming. Come up with useful routes that benefit riders; extending the to South Brooklyn is not one of them. 2. No careless solutions like "increase service on all lines", which isn't even possible due to capacity and fleet constraints. 3. You can't use spare trains to increase service, or buy more trains from Bombardier . To make a line run more frequently, you have to either modify the route (short-turns, for example) or take trains from another line. Have fun guys!

Select trains terminate at Broadway-Laffayette or West 4 Street. Select trains terminate at Whitehall Street, Times Square-42 Street or 57 Street-7 Avenue. Select trains terminate at 9 Avenue.

TheSubwayStation Posted August 23, 2012 Share #1954 Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) : No trains b/w 34th Street and 2nd Avenue and b/w 21st Street and 179th Street. That doesn't work, unfortunately. Select trains terminate at Broadway-Laffayette or West 4 Street. Select trains terminate at Whitehall Street, Times Square-42 Street or 57 Street-7 Avenue. Select trains terminate at 9 Avenue. Select trains terminate at 59 Street. Terminating trains at Whitehall, Broadway-Lafayette, or W 4 St is a bad idea IMO because people coming from further uptown in Manhattan won't have increased service to Atlantic Av-Barclays Center.

Let's hypothetically say the Nets make it to the NBA Finals... 1. Some trains are extended to Utica Avenue (aproxx. 6 TPH). If there are space constraints at Rogers Junction, then trains terminate at Atlantic Avenue. 2. Queens bound trains stop at Lafayette Avenue. 3. service is extended overnight. 4. Special and trains terminate at Pacific Street southbound. Other and trains make local stops to allow for these trains to terminate at Pacific Street. That's what I came up with.... Select trains terminate at Broadway-Laffayette or West 4 Street. Select trains terminate at Whitehall Street, Times Square-42 Street or 57 Street-7 Avenue. Select trains terminate at 9 Avenue. Select trains terminate at 59 Street. SELECT trains are extended to 9 Avenue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that I'm almost 100% sure that Bway/7 Av riders will instinctively wait for a or even if a train pulls in saying "Utica Av". Those trains will be empty, just like sending random trains to 9 Av...And terminating trains at Atlantic Avenue when there are other trains coming through on the same tracks is BAD. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would be rush hour service, even if it's not actually rush hour. Therefore the would terminate at Flatbush while the would run to Coney Island. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Yorkers aren't THAT STUPID.... Actually that's precisely correct. If I was trying to go to Brooklyn and a train pulled up, I wouldn't get on that even if I saw the signs said that it was going to Utica Av or Flatbush because the correct thing that most New Yorkers would assume is that the sign is broken. Even if the station agents made an announcement over the intercom most people still wouldn't be on it because those things are practically undecipherable and nobody can ever understand what they're saying. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're saying that people would get on if it was labled as a , but not as a ???? New Yorkers aren't THAT STUPID.... Yes, they are. And I don't blame them. If you're not a buff, you probably don't read the signs (understandably) because every other train you've ever been on hasn't gone to Brooklyn. Okay, I'll solve my scenario: select trains terminate at 96 St using the line's middle track. Select trains terminate at Utica/New Lots Avs. possibly select uptown trains can terminate at 34 St - Penn Station. (I guess some trains can do this too.) Manhattan bound trains stop at Lafayette Av. Queens bound trains run local from Hoyt-Schermerhorn to Utica Av. select trains terminate at Prospect Park select trains terminate at 57 St/7 Av select trains terminate at Atlantic Av; other trains run local on 4 Av.

I would get suspended for posting the text of this meme. NEXT Due to a smoke condition, Atlantic Av is impassible. Go ahead. And remember this is SMOKE.

From all the weed that Threxx is smoking ? Okay, here we go: Flatbush Av - Eastern Pkwy New Lots Av - Eastern Pkwy and trains that are in service past Atlantic Av should be converted to and trains. Woodlawn - Borough Hall Dyre/Nereid Av - Bowling Green terminates in Manhattan at either 14 St or Wall St. Downtown trains terminating at Wall St run local from 34 St to Chambers St so as not to interfere with trains terminating on the downtown express track at 14 St. trains run via tunnel to provide a transfer at Borough Hall Edited August 23, 2012 by TheSubwayStation 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
