Daniel The Cool Posted January 22, 2019 Share #2452 Posted January 22, 2019 15 hours ago, paulrivera said: And to expand on that, since the needs more service there's no room for three lines between W4 and Broadway-Lafayette. And no, they won't run the on 12 minute headways to accommodate a short turned train. Personally I don't know why the can't go to WTC with the . Both run on 12 minute headways so they won't run over the terminal's designed capacity, and the and wouldn't have to go through any more unneeded merging. It would usually say in the weekend G.Os when/if the Train runs on 12 minute headways and considering its not on there, its most likely running on its regular 8-10 minutes headways those weekends. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did that last year too, which I wasn't too fond of. However, that's the lesser of two evils (having two trains would cause even more confusion). So how would that work? Would Qs loop through Stilwell, or would there be 2 distinct Q lines each terminating at Stilwell? And how would that be apparent to passengers, which was which? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think they would at least test it out during this period. Oh looks like the link provided answers for me: Quote As you know, there are multiple pieces of the L Project. The part of the project that was revised was the tunnel rehabilitation work—which is great news for many customers since we’ll have L service 24/7, even with reduced service while we run a single-track operation during overnights and weekends. For this overnight and weekend times in February and March, we’re focused on long-term reliability improvement work. Here are a few highlights of what we’ll be doing: Removing and replacing all existing 16,000 feet of rails, plates and the ties supporting the track Relocating and replacing cables Rebuilding Bedford Av switches to be ready to support the one-track operation starting in April Installing continuous welded rail at Bushwick-Aberdeen, between Jefferson and DeKalb, at Montrose and from Lorimer to Graham The work requires full service closures because: Track work: In order to perform the rail, plate and tie replacement, we use specialized track equipment that needs the full track access. Switch work: The tracks south of Bedford Av have an “interlocking plant,” also known as a “double crossover,” which is what allows us to switch trains from one track to another. The switches and signals that form this interlocking are located on both tracks. (My note below) The excuse they made sounds similar to what they said in the other plan save for switch work.
