Wallyhorse Posted May 6, 2012 Share #639 Posted May 6, 2012 C'mon, I was just joking. Back on topic before we start grammar school on this thread. The entire Brighton Corridor from Prospect Park to DeKalb avenue is unusable. However, trains may stop at DeKalb or Prospect, but cannot travel within the corridor. How would you reroute the ? Use shuttle buses as a last resort. Doing this one now as I've not been on for a few days (was VERY busy with Kentucky Derby week stuff): This is very similar to what I previously did for a similar G.O. a while back, which in this case is: runs all times to and through Coney Island as follows: From Prospect Park: Regular route to Brighton Beach, then through Coney Island to Manhattan via West End Express and 4th Avenue Express to DeKalb Avenue To Prospect Park: From Manhattan via regular route to DeKalb Avenue, then via 4th Avenue Express to 59th Street, via SeaBeach Express to Coney Island and through Coney Island to Brighton Beach and then regular route to Prospect Park. is shortened to five-car 300' trains and runs from Coney Island-Botanic Garden station, using the Prospect Park-bound side to terminate (transfer to the (2)/(3)/(4)/(5) at Botanic Garden-Franklin Avenue for Atlantic Avenue and ((2)/(3) only) Grand Army Plaza-7th Avenue). Franklin Avenue is reduced to a single, two-car train running single-track between Botanic Garden (Franklin Avenue-bound platform) and Franklin Avenue. Extra service runs Astoria-34th Street (transfer to at 34th) as needed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to run that, you would need staff on the platform to help people over the gap, and trains would have to wait awhile for people to board. Plus, won't the BMT-IRT switch get worked out from continous switching after barely being used since the 1950's? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
