Planned Subway Service Changes

[Mysterious2train]

 

There might be work being performed south of Brooklyn Bridge plus it might be congestion of switches.

 

I think it should depend on where the work is being done. If work is being done at say, Fulton St, then yeah, it'll probably be impractical to relay trains between Brooklyn Bridge and Fulton St. But if work is being done in the Joralemon St Tubes (like the work last week for example; there are new lights installed in part of the SB tube, and they look nice) I don't see what is preventing trains from being relayed using that switch, especially if they're only running every 20 minutes. I do think trains should probably still use the loop, to avoid congestion.

[RollOver]

Better to have at least one express on the Lex than to overcrowd the and locals.

 

Well that's good for those who prefer to waste an average of 10 minutes for the express. There's no point in running the at all, since it's running every 20 minutes, especially since the Dyre branch is closed too.

[Javier]

What I want to know is why can't the be express to Grand Central and the can run local or doesn't even run at all since it's just runs every 20 minutes.

[RollOver]

Why? A full-time line is a full-time line. It's not like Jerome riders want a faster ride through Manhattan or something. If they need to get from the Bronx to Brooklyn, then they can take the nearby to Atlantic for the . Simple. The would be severely overcrowded if the were not to help out.

[GreatOne2k]

used to turn on the express tracks between Brooklyn Bridge and Fulton St instead of ending at 42 St years ago.

[Javier]

Your not getting my point Rollover:

I said to let the be express in Manhattan but the can be rerouted via the local. It's better then to have every Lex line affected.

 

Speaking of FastTrack, what in the world are they doing on the line this month?

[RollOver]

Of course I did got your point. What are you talking about?

 

And once again, why? The Dyre branch is closed and the is just running every 20 minutes (3 trains an hour), no? Meanwhile, the Jerome branch is open, and the is running every 8-10 minutes (6 or 8 trains per hour) compared to the . So the combined frequencies on the Lex local is about 4-5 minutes (12 or 16 trains per hour). So yeah, that's why it makes sense to have the run local all weekend. It always runs local in Manhattan at night, right? Well, let it run local on weekends if it's cut between Brooklyn Bridge and Utica.

[Javier]

Sigh. Alright.

I don't think the has Fastrack. It is a seperate project. CBTC and infracture and shit like that.

Why? If more sections are not running on the , the shuttle buses should extend to Chambers Street.

[RollOver]

I completely agree. Without having the free shuttle buses operate all the way between Hewes St and Chambers St instead of Essex St, that would mean riders have to get off at Essex St to catch the uptown , then get off at B'way-Lafayette to catch the downtown to Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall/Chambers St.

 

Man.

[trainfan22]

Shuttle bus route in the CBD part of Mantthan just reeks of PITA.

[RollOver]

Damn. So I guess riders are just gonna have to put up with a 3-4 seat ride to Canal St, Chambers St, Fulton St and Broad St.

I was wondering the same' They are both local "north" of 71st Ave, so I'm not sure why this makes sense, Unless they want to serve the local stations/mall more.

Throughout the weekend and night (and after the PM rush), the has to run local east of Forest Hills for the following reason:

 

1) Jamaica isn't wide enough to store every trains assigned to each of the four Queens Blvd lines, meaning some or a bit more of those trains have to be layed up on the express tracks between 75 Av and 179 St. Remember, they are more cars assigned to Jamaica than any other shop depot in the entire subway system.

 

2) The also has to run local east of Forest Hills for this purpose too, not to mention that it's cheaper to relay the alone east of 179 St than with the . There's no need for it to run express all the way to 179 St, as virtually everybody between 75 Av and 179 St on the Hillside branch want an express train to Manhattan as much as those on the Jamaica Center branch.

 

That's why.

they could of used the switch after Union Tpke for the F to get onto the express track, but that would have meant the F going to the local for 75th and going back to the express after UT.
