GreatOne2k Posted August 18, 2012 Share #351 Posted August 18, 2012 Why did they add service to the ? They could've kept it at 10 minute headways and then cut less service on the (Maybe run it every 6-7 minutes instead of every 8) Evens out the headways on the (Bronx and Brooklyn) and (Bronx, Manhattan, and Brooklyn). Also the express local pairs / (Brooklyn) and / (Manhattan) each have the same amount of midday service. - 8 minutes - 8 minutes - 8 minutes - 8 minutes - 8 minutes - 8 minutes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brooklynunderground Posted August 22, 2012 Share #359 Posted August 22, 2012 I say a return of the last W before it was discontinued (Astoria Local/Broadway Local), except it would be continued through the Monyague Street Tunnel after Whitehall with the R to Jay Street Metrotech. The MTA would build a short connector tunnel at Jay Street between the BMT and IND tracks, and the W serves as the Culver Express to Church Avenue, with a peak-direction express extension to Kings Highway. Like the last W, this would be a weekday-only route. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yngmack923 Posted August 23, 2012 Share #360 Posted August 23, 2012 Would love to see a Line that starts at 179th connecting to the F that runs through Queens and over the Throgs Neck into the Bronx maybe ending in CO-OP IDK... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCRailfan523 Posted August 31, 2012 Share #361 Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) My route is the IRT Eighth Avenue Line, which will run parallel with the IND Eighth Avenue Line's train until Canal St. to relieve congestion on crowded E train stations. The services are a new 9 colored in vivid blue, with the 10 as it's skip-stop service only serving stations during late nights and rush hours. What do you think about my fictional subway route?

I want the to remain in Flushing as it is the IRT Flushing Line. I would also seek extending my fictional route that I said earlier to Flushing and other parts of Queens unserviced by the subway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallyhorse Posted September 13, 2012 Share #365 Posted September 13, 2012 I say a return of the last W before it was discontinued (Astoria Local/Broadway Local), except it would be continued through the Monyague Street Tunnel after Whitehall with the R to Jay Street Metrotech.

Like the last W, this would be a weekday-only route. Actually, my plan for that, which (I think) I noted previously would have the as you would do it to Metrotech EXCEPT after Metrotech, it would break away and run over a completely re-built Myrtle Avenue El, starting with Navy Street, the first elevated station after Metrotech. All stations, including the upper level of Myrtle Avenue on the Broadway El and other existing ones on the remaining portion of the old line would be re-built to handle 600' trains and 75' cars, though because of this some stations from the old El would be re-located and/or combined because of these stations being considerably longer than the old Myrtle El stations, hence the need for fewer stops than the old El. There also would be a breakaway after Sumner Avenue (the first rebuilt station after Myrtle-Broadway from the remaining portion of the old El) that would go on to a new connection to the existing Franklin Avenue Shuttle, with all remaining stations on that line rebuilt to two tracks and 600' capacity and Franklin Avenue becoming a through station of a NEW Myrtle-Brighton line that I also noted here previously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threxx Posted September 13, 2012 Share #366 Posted September 13, 2012 Threxx wants to extend the from Jamaica to Southeast Queens, near the County Line. Let me make these clear: Eastern Queens is woefully underserved by subway service, and people continue to sardine onto buses which are few and inadequate. The would be extended to Rosedale via the LIRR RoW. All LIRR trains would be diverted via St. Albans. Stations would be added along the RoW to better serve customers. A new line would be build under Hillside Avenue to the County Line. A new bypass track would be dedicated for a new <E> and services at rush hours. The and would be extended to Douglaston with trains ending in Bayside when trains are running. The , extension is deleted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrainFanInfinity Posted September 19, 2012 Share #367 Posted September 19, 2012 I'm thinking of a new line. A line from 168 Street, Manhattan to Little Neck Parkway (LIE), Queens. Via 8 Avenue Express, Worth Street Line, Flushing Avenue Line, LIE Express. The Flushing Avenue line is from the IND Second System, and the LIE line does not travel directly on the LIE. What do you think? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threxx Posted September 19, 2012 Share #368 Posted September 19, 2012 Meh, too long. It should just have it's own crosstown line (under 34th Street perhaps) and terminate on the West Side.

(Reverse quote lol) I thought of a Flushing Avenue Line once, and it was also a crosstown line and it ended at Javits Center and LaGuardia Airport. It was going to be called the (FL) line. EDIT: Instead if 34 Street, it still went under the Worth Street Tunnel & 8 Avenue Local until 14 Street, where it joins the 10th Avenue Line to Javits Center.

Q10 Airport Posted September 21, 2012 Share #372 Posted September 21, 2012 New line: Main Street/White Plains Rd South line. The stops are: Jamaica Center (transfer to ) Parsons Blvd/Hillside Avenue (transfer to ) Parsons Blvd/Union Turnpike Main Street/Union Turnpike Jewel Avenue Hoarce Harding/Booth Memorial Main Street/Roosevelt Avenue (transfer to ) College Point-15th Avenue Bruckner Parkchester (transfer to ) Bronx Park East (transfer to ) Obviously this would be a 4-6 car line. I don't see ridership being high enough to justify 10 cars. This is not likely to happen in the near future, but that's why they call it a fantasy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Pond Posted September 23, 2012 Share #373 Posted September 23, 2012 I just thought of an idea...completely unheard of and on the borderline of insane...
