TriboroughBridge Posted November 23, 2011 Share #1 Posted November 23, 2011 Please give me your feedback about this. The new 8 Ave, blue Start at Francis Lewis Boulevard & Jamaica Avenue continues down Jamaica Avenue till 168 St. Curves from Jamaica to 168 to Archer Ave to merge back with the . Two way skip-stop service between Sutphin Blvd & Myrtle Ave (all times except nights) & two way express service between Myrtle & Marcy Avenues, underground (also all times except nights) Right before Bowery, the & would diverge from each other & Bowery will be an "express/local" looking station, with both sides open to accommodate the & . After Bowery, the would run under Spring Street, till 6 Ave & merge with the on the express track. The will run express from 14 St (8 Ave) till 59 St Columbus Circle all times. After 59 Street, it will run east under Central Park & 68 St till 2 Avenue & then merge with the on the express track of the 2 Ave line (also all times). The & will run till 125 St in Manhattan then 3 Ave-138 St in The Bronx, then before 3 Ave-149 St the would diverge from the & & become the IND Castle Hill line. The would run up 3 Ave, Boston Road, E 180 St, E Tremont Ave & Castle Hill Ave. The stops would be like this from after 3 Ave-149 St. 157 St / 3 Avenue 168 St / 3 Avenue 170 St / Boston Road Crotona Pkwy / E 180 St E 180 St / Morris Park Ave, transfer to the , & the IRT E 180 St (created by me, of course) White Plains Road / E Tremont Ave Westechester Ave / Castle Hill Ave, transfer to the & Bruckner Boulevard / Castle Hill Ave Castle Hill-Randall Ave / Castle Hill Ave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lance25 Posted November 23, 2011 Share #2 Posted November 23, 2011 You posted the same idea in the Create a Subway Route thread. If you didn't get a response there, what makes you think you're going to get one here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you didn't get a response there, what makes you think you're going to get one here? Because, that one was all the way at the end. I waited a few day, but nobody responded, so I started a new one.

Nah, I dont think it's TOO long, especially when there's skip-stop & express along the line. When I want to make sure a Fantasy line isnt too long, I compare it to the , & .

Roadcruiser1 Posted November 24, 2011 Share #6 Posted November 24, 2011 Worse idea ever. You can't have more then 2 services use 2 tracks, because it would result in rail traffic nightmare. It would cause a rail traffic jam on the Sixth Avenue Line. Also on the Sixth Avenue Line there are already 4 subway services that already does the job which is the (. Nothing else is needed.

It would cause a rail traffic jam on the Sixth Avenue Line. The Sixth Avenue Line isnt a good idea. I agree, but i dont think it's the worst idea ever just because of that.. Anyway, i think it would be better going by Eighth Avenue Line. There we have only the running express. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new 8 Ave, blue Blue, as in 8 Ave? After Bowery, the would run under Spring Street, till 6 Ave & merge with the on the express track. The will run express from 14 St (8 Ave) till 59 St Columbus Circle all times. Spring St & Sixth Ave is still the Eighth Ave , & . I should have wrote "The would run under Spring St, till 6 Ave & merge with the on the express track." I'm sorry if you misunderstood, but I figured people would know, that Spring St & Sixth Ave, is still the Eighth Ave line & I wrote "from 14 St (8 Ave) till 59 St Columbus Circle" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way in hell that the south bowery platform can be rehabbed. It is literally a big stinkin piece of crap. Look at the pics here --> link 2nd Avenue DOES NOT need 3 services on it. Also, a better line to send up your "IND Castle Hill Line" would be the Plus skip-stop service would be screwed over if the and did not have the same terminal. the should be extended to Brooklyn first along with the to make up for lost (Mx) trains So sit in the corner in shame.

dkpintar Posted November 25, 2011 Share #23 Posted November 25, 2011 Thanks, Roadcruiser. Or, TriboroughBridge, youcan use any other maps that people here have used to show their fantasy lines ( Calgano, Schwandll [urbanRail] etc etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In never said 4th Av, maybe 3 (J)s and 3 (Z)s can go to the Brighton line. and remember if the J and Z DO go to brooklyn, it is only 12 trains more on the tracks ( six (J)s and six (Z)s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
