TrainFanInfinity Posted January 9, 2014 Share #3943 Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) Suspend the ? What? Run the to Atlantic or Prospect, suspend the in Brooklyn as in most cases this scenario always happens. Exactly. Why would a part-time line be given priority over the full-time one? Since the Broadway Line is the line affected, you'd rather have the keep service. If you send the to Prospect Park, you'd have no service to Manhattan and all the people will go to the . If to Atlantic Avenue you would have delays single-tracking, and people will have to transfer anyways, instead of just keeping the , a one-seat ride to Manhattan. ALSO, since it would only take 2 hours, it'd have no effect whether a part-time or a full-time route runs, a route is a route. (Rerouting the via 6th Av wouldn't do because you would have to terminate it somewhere). Also just put the 's cars on the , so then frequency wouldn't be a problem.

Exactly..if it takes only 2 hours to fix the problem, suspending a part-time route is better than suspending a full time route. Delays single tracking to Atlantic? You're concerned on delays from that? The scenario has bigger delays then a mere single track delay. What you are forgetting is that the affected line is Broadway, not 6th Avenue. The would still warrant a transfer no matter what to attend Broadway stops. Quite frankly, I assume you don't ride the Brighton to see that suspending the is daily routine whenever problems arise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late nights: is re-routed via the to West 4th and via the to 145th Street, where it terminates (Shuttle train operates between Essex Street and Broad or Chambers Street). Weekend: and operate skip-stop as if it were rush hour in both directions from 5:00 AM-Midnight and in Manhattan run via the to West 4th and then to 145th Street to encourage passengers who normally take the to midtown to use this route where possible and take pressure off the shuttle buses (Shuttle train operates between Essex and Chambers Street). runs via between 47-50 and 21st-Queensbridge Plaza at ALL TIMES (including nights and weekends), where it terminates (operating Metropolitan Avenue to 21st-Queensbridge 24/7). and operate to Ditmars Boulevard at all Times.
