Guest Lance Posted May 28, 2012 #2 Posted May 28, 2012 I'll believe it when I see it. I can tell you with absolute certainty that it can't happen now as there are no cars available for that kind of extension. With some of East New York's R42s on the and Jamaica's R46s on the , the remaining R46s and R160A1s are being used to meet the current service demands. Forget about this so-called extension to 9th Avenue.
Roadcruiser1 Posted May 28, 2012 #3 Posted May 28, 2012 Truthfully it probably won't happen. A extension to South Brooklyn will ruin skip stop service on the Jamaica Line and that would render the current (J)/(Z) service extinct.
mark1447 Posted May 28, 2012 #4 Posted May 28, 2012 Well, the use to run down 4th Avenue, so who knows if thats already been there at 59th Street just in case (M)s were sent down via the or . Truthfully it probably won't happen. A extension to South Brooklyn will ruin skip stop service on the Jamaica Line and that would render the current (J)/(Z) service extinct. I would have the an Express from Marcy to ENY then begin Skip-Stop Express Service to Jamaica with the .

I rather see the brought back for this job. It will allow the to run express again and Jamaica Line riders can transfer at Canal Street.
TheSubwayStation Posted May 28, 2012 #6 Posted May 28, 2012 Well, the use to run down 4th Avenue, so who knows if thats already been there at 59th Street just in case (M)s were sent down via the or . Yeah, the sign doesn't necessarily have anything to do with a extension...
tvega961 Posted May 28, 2012 #7 Posted May 28, 2012 That "8 R160" has been there for the longest. It was used to represent the . Not the

But isn't this whole thing about sending the via 4th Avenue is for giving 4th Avenue Customers access via Nassau Street? (Besides helping the ) For the evening coming back, that I doubt this year. The is already the alternative to the Express. (Even tho it would be better for it to skip 49th Street)

(Even tho it would be better for it to skip 49th Street) The problem is you can't send either the or the to South Brooklyn or else it will kill skip stop service. The only solution that could utilize the Nassau Street Line would be to create something similar to the <R> that ran from Chambers Street to Bay Ridge-95th Street, but this time send it to Bay Parkway instead. Also you would need to use a new letter.

Like a new , only brown.
Roadcruiser1 Posted May 28, 2012 #12 Posted May 28, 2012 Like a new , only brown. No. The might come back after the opening of the Second Avenue Subway. The only thing I see is a brown running from Chambers Street to Bay Parkway.
Threxx Posted May 28, 2012 #13 Posted May 28, 2012 No. The might come back after the opening of the Second Avenue Subway. The only thing I see is a brown running from Chambers Street to Bay Parkway. I just used as a bullet! It could be (X) for all I care! Take a chill pill...

The only thing I see is a brown running from Chambers Street to Bay Parkway. I just used as a bullet! It could be (X) for all I care! Take a chill pill... And this is what triggers fights on the Forums. Smh... For the evening coming back, that I doubt this year. The is already the alternative to the Express. (Even tho it would be better for it to skip 49th Street) And I agree with mark1447, there is no coming back this year. As for skipping 49 St, the only reason I see it is so that the has a clear path to get to 57 St. I don't think we need that either.
CDTA Posted May 28, 2012 #15 Posted May 28, 2012 Ideally if the were to go down to Bay Parkway, it would still provide Lower Manhattan service.
6 Lexington Ave Posted May 28, 2012 #16 Posted May 28, 2012 Couldn't the be sent to Bay Ridge? I think they could use more service there..
TheSubwayStation Posted May 28, 2012 #17 Posted May 28, 2012 Couldn't the be sent to Bay Ridge? I think they could use more service there.. The could sure as heck be extended anywhere. But the whole reason why the bay pkwy was eliminated was b/c of costs. There's no reason to think that will change its mind and do one of these ideas.
CDTA Posted May 28, 2012 #18 Posted May 28, 2012 Yes but you see, the only went to lower manhattan. If the were bought down there, it would provide both lower manhattan AND midtown service. It's a win-win. The riders can hop on the if they wanted to get to midtown, and the lower manhattan riders will also get a one seat ride.
GojiMet86 Posted May 28, 2012 #19 Posted May 28, 2012 I'd rather wait until someone with enough credibility and says it will happen, or until it is official or actually happens.
Eric B Posted May 29, 2012 #21 Posted May 29, 2012 Truthfully it probably won't happen. A extension to South Brooklyn will ruin skip stop service on the Jamaica Line and that would render the current (J)/ service extinct. The plan I had heard did call for the being eliminated, and replaced by a 4 min. headway on the . All the extra unused 32's and 42's would probably have to be fixed and restored to service for that.
VWM Posted May 29, 2012 #22 Posted May 29, 2012 No , idk about that. Just have (Z)s run local in Brooklyn. The 6 (Z)s would go to whatever terminus then originate there later. No bi-di service or anything. Simple.
tvega961 Posted May 29, 2012 #23 Posted May 29, 2012 No , idk about that. Just have (Z)s run local in Brooklyn. The 6 (Z)s would go to whatever terminus then originate there later. No bi-di service or anything. Simple. I mentioned that so many times, but the running local. But its always someone saying it would "Kill Skip-Stop service" and yadda yadda yadda.
NY1635 Posted May 29, 2012 #24 Posted May 29, 2012 Why is the Z rush hours only, and not a full time express route?
Roadcruiser1 Posted May 29, 2012 #25 Posted May 29, 2012 Why is the Z rush hours only, and not a full time express route? That is because there is no express tracks on the Jamaica Line... No , idk about that. Just have (Z)s run local in Brooklyn. The 6 (Z)s would go to whatever terminus then originate there later. No bi-di service or anything. Simple. Again it won't work because of reasons I mentioned that it will also kill skip stop service. We can't afford to kill skip stop service right now period. I am not being mean, but Jamaica Line residents will kill you if you try. Not literally of course.
