TrainFanInfinity Posted May 22, 2012 Share #751 Posted May 22, 2012 Due to a bomb threat, the Lower Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn subway lines are shut down. From Prince Street (all of Manhattan south of Prince Street) to Vanderblit Street and Union Street (all of Brooklyn northwest of the 2 locations.) Affected lines- The subway would probably be shut down now, but I felt like posting this scenario. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallyhorse Posted May 23, 2012 Share #758 Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) What's the problem with just suspending the and running trains local and via the between W4th and Brooklyn? - Send the via the , and run it express in peak direction? Extend the Rockaway Park Shuttle along the express tracks to Broadway Junction?? The reason I send the via the and to Broadway Junction AND express in the peak direction has to do with making that a bypass of lower Manhattan and downtown Brooklyn for people looking for Lefferts and the Rockaways with only one transfer. Those specifically looking for lower Manhattan and downtown Brooklyn from Midtown have other options, including from the transferring to the (2)/ at Chambers-Park Place taking the to Broadway-Lafayette and switching to the there. Those looking for stations past Hoyt-Schermerhorn on the from Manhattan can either take the to the and then to the at Jay Street (in both transfer cases, a same or cross-platform transfer) OR take the to Broadway Junction and backtrack on the from there. The in this scenario replaces the as the Rockaway Line as ALL Brooklyn trains would go to Lefferts. That is to distinguish the two trains at Broadway Junction since the would be on the express track and the would be on the local track there during this particular scenario.

Wallyhorse Posted May 25, 2012 Share #765 Posted May 25, 2012 I'm assuming for this the train derailed from the downtown platform at Bowling Green and that platform is unusable (but trains can use the uptown platform to turn using the crossover south of Wall Street, but can not pick up passengers there) and the platform being extended is the one at Botanic Garden on that so that when needed, the or can terminate there (on both platforms with crossovers to the Prospect Park-bound-side from the Franklin Avenue-bound side), and that work necessitates that trains on the (2)/(3)/(4)/(5) not pass under the actual station, other than to switch over: runs in two sections: 241st Street-Eastern Parkway Franklin Avenue or President Street-Flatbush Avenue (depending on whether the Franklin Avenue platform can be used) runs in two sections: 148th/Lenox-14th Street or South Ferry (alternate trains to South Ferry, running local after 14th Street southbound) Utica, Franklin or Nostrand Avenue-New Lots Avenue (some (3)s in Brooklyn terminate at Utica, others at Nostrand, if the Franklin Avenue platform can be used, all (3)s in Brooklyn terminate at Franklin Avenue). A special OOS transfer between the at Junius Street and at Livonia Avenue is available throughout this interruption Shuttle buses operate between Eastern Parkway and either Franklin Avenue OR a split between Nostrand or Utica Avenue and President Street, depending on whether the Franklin Avenue platform can be used. runs Woodlawn-Wall Street or Brooklyn Bridge Downtown trains operate via the to Atlantic Avenue and terminate there. Uptown trains begin at Atlantic Avenue and operate normally otherwise except for skipping Bowling Green. Franklin Avenue replaced by buses while construction at Botanic Garden takes place. Next: A 12-9 at Bergen Street closed the main level completely, but the lower level of the station can be used for trains to pass through. At the same time, the switches to the 6th Avenue line in Manhattan at both 53rd and 63rd are out southbound. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
