TeeLow Posted November 7, 2016 Share #5387 Posted November 7, 2016 (edited) What if the had service to Lefferts Blvd? Using the current time schedules of the Far Rock , peak service Rock Pk , , btn Broad Channel & Rock Park, set up a peak service to/from Lefferts with the Lefferts so those folks along Liberty Ave can't complain about not having a one seat ride. Here's little bit of help: the first from Manhattan arrives at Euclid Ave at 624AM. Would this be the first to Lefferts? The first from Euclid leaves at 557AM. Your trains can come from Linden Yard, 174th St or 207. I realize this is a tough challenge. It will take patience and schedule coordinating skil. For encouragement, I tried doing this about a month ago just for fun. It was tough! Yet I'm sure many of you know more than I do. Can you get it done?

TeeLow Posted November 7, 2016 Share #5395 Posted November 7, 2016 Why would both Peak & Fulltime operate from Lefferts Blvd around same time? In the past when the ran to Lefferts replacing the you could hear the screams from Woodhaven to Ozone Park about not having a one seat ride to Manhattan in the morning. I realize Transit would probably never implement what I'm proposing. It's just a what if scenario to test your scheduling skills; something different than the apocalyptic 'what ifs' that regularly show up here. Call it a what if for grownups. Instead of terrorist attacks or nature's tragedies tearing s#it down, how about one proposal that really makes you use your brain? Ain't no fun in that though. It's asking too much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallyhorse Posted November 7, 2016 Share #5396 Posted November 7, 2016 (edited) A major fire has damaged the 14 St tunes and a major car accident has taken place on the Willy, causing both to be unusable for a month. What do you do? Interesting, because this isolates the entire Eastern Division with very limited exceptions: First, the obvious: runs between Jamaica Center and Marcy Avenue (no skip-stop) operates in two sections: Manhattan: 1st-8th Avenues (single-tracked east of Union Square) with whatever trains were in Manhattan when the fire broke. Brooklyn: Lorimer Street and Canarsie (some trains begin and end at Bedford Avenue). runs as a shuttle between Metropolitan Avenue and Myrtle Avenue (select trains to Marcy Avenue) Then: temporarily becomes its own line, operating between Broad and Essex Street in Manhattan. If warranted, service can be extended to Atlantic-Barclays or points further south as needed. For Manhattan service, whatever cars were in Manhattan at the time of the shutdown are used. trains are doubled in length, there is an OOS transfer between the and at Broadway and between the at Fulton Street and and at Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center. Passengers from the Canarsie and Broadway-Brooklyn lines are asked to if at all possible go to Atlantic-Barclays to avoid inevitable overcrowding at Court Square. is also extended weekdays only to 71st-Continental to replace the on Queens Boulevard. Late nights and weekends, is extended to Queens Plaza. There is a special OOS transfer between Queens Plaza and Queensboro Plaza.
