Alternate travel option: For service to the 225 St-Marble Hill and 231 St Stations, take a Bronx-bound Bx7 (days/evenings) or Bx20 (rush hours) bus on Broadway at 215 St. When does this take effect? Anyways, this is a good reminder why stations should have crossovers/crossunders and multiple exits, but how is it that they can keep it open for exiting but not entering? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they did a HEET swap between 215th and 238th, but don't quote me on that... and their budgets, can't afford to create new turnstiles but they can still pay people to uninstall turnstiles and reinstall them a mile and a half down the street, then bring back the original turnstiles from the second station to the first station on the way back...

They really putting that to work. They should have some CIY sets run on the but operate from 96th St to 2nd Av because the loads on SAS is nuts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, they’ll run the with 8-minute intervals at the very least. Never mind, I just misread.

Most of the Eastern Division stations I believe were built to 536 feet (eight-car trains of 67' standards). Another option might have been for the weekend run a special line from Rockaway Parkway to 96th-2nd via Broadway Brooklyn, Chrystie, 6th Avenue and the SAS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, the issue with both of these proposals is that neither assists regular riders between 8 Av and Broadway Junction as they’re the ones being inconvienced.
