the (2) is being extended to New Lots AV and Flatbush AV at the same time

 

No it isn't...

 

And the (J) shuttle to Prospect Park has been permanently discontinued because anybody traveling between either the Flatbush branch or New Lots branch and Downtown Brooklyn/Lower Manhattan can just stay on the (2) / (3). Meanwhile, anybody trying to get to/from the Lex already have the (D)(N)(Q)(R) at Atlantic Av-Barclays Ctr to nearby Lex stations.

 

What would be nice though is maybe they can add some extra (2) or (3) trains and run them express to Utica.

 

 

Yeah, no.

True up to about 23rd Street or so and those who need specific stations on the Lex line can transfer to the (6) from the (D) at Broadway-Lafayette or (N)(Q)(R) at Canal Street or Union Square. 

 

The (J) to Prospect Park (which was a supplemental train anyway) really isn't necessary at this point other than for a few lazy individuals who want to be able to make the transfer to the (4)(6) at Brooklyn Bridge.

Well, since the tracks to the montage tunnel are still OOS from Broad St, the (2) is being extended to New Lots AV and Flatbush AV at the same time while the (5) ends at Grand Central and the (4) ends at Brooklyn Bridge. And I really wanted to see the (J) to Propspect Park :(

Do you think before you speak ?

This service plan suggests a big, complicated, passenger confusing GO.  We don't need this so close to Christmas with all the shopping and tourists going to see the tree being inconvenienced and confused with a different service plan. 

 

Hopefully the politicians will get involved to stop this.  It is not very customer friendly.

The reason why we're criticizing it is because 6th Avenue, 8th Avenue and the Broadway Lines gets real busy during the Holiday Seasons (Especially on Weekends) hence why (E)(F)(Q) has extra service on those weekends. And believe me as much as I love this G.O (Especially if the (D) Train is going CPW local instead of the (C) Train), Like Bill said it's not a good weekend because it will caused alot of confusion and frustration for holiday riders. And plus its unusual to due major weekend G.Os during the Holiday season.

Don't worry Daniel I get your argument. I don't like it either. Its very confusing. I was just wondering what the work that required this change was. Sorry for the confusion...

This G.O is not unusual since it has happened a good amount of times. Its just the fact they choose that certain time frame when the subway is real busy with holiday riders to do it

Vintage trains could run as extra (F) service, at least the Triplexes and Arnines

That's possible, but elsewhere I suggested having the vintage train from Broad to Broadway Junction on the (J) since you also have a lot of shopping in lower Manhattan.  This would also have it stop at the Fulton Transportation Center that the (MTA) could highlight as well.
