The reason I used the (brownM) and (M) is because the (Z) is used for only rush hour service normally, so having the (Z) run on weekends and late nights would be very confusing for a lot of people

True, but service is split anyways. There's no need to keep (Z) trains only for rush hours and then calling it the (brownM) later since that would confuse passengers more. You need to keep them less confused by having the (Z) run all day and night.

Yeah, but if the (Z) runs instead of the (M), the (R) can't carry Queens Blvd local by itself during rush hour, the (E) or (F) would have to run local.

During pandemic-times, the (R) alone can handle Queens Blvd, and the (E)(F) can stay express. But if a route has to be switched to local, it should  be the (F) . At its current headways, it would mix well with the (R).

What do you mean instead of the (M)? The (M) doesn't need to run at all since the (Z) would just be there to cover it. At this point because of this big work, the (M) doesn't need to run at all outside of its Weekday schedule which is to run from Metropolitan to Forest Hills. The (Z) would be running all day and night including the weekends from Metropolitan to Broad St. The (M) doesn't even need to run its shuttle service since the (Z) already covers all the stops the (M) does during the weekends and nights.

How would the E get on the G line from the C line ? Or do you mean in 2 sections ? 

Oh wait, I just took a look at the track map, there's no switches at Hoyt St between Crosstown & Fulton? Serious design flaw.

Let's suppose, for kicks, the north half of the Manhattan Bridge was closed for track work and signal repairs.
 

(W) service runs via the (D) line from Coney Island-Stillwell Av to Atlantic Av-Barclays Center, making stops at DeKalb Av, Jay St-Metrotech, and Court St. Runs as normal to Astoria-Ditmars Blvd. Rationale: West End service to Manhattan is needed, and although access to IND 6 Av from the BMT 4 Av is cut off by the bridge work, IND 6 Av and BMT Broadway stations are close enough to be reasonable for most riders.

(B) service runs via the (E) line from Chambers St-WTC to West 4 St-Washington Sq and as normal to Harlem-145 St and Bedford Park Blvd. (C) service run express from Chambers St-WTC to 34 St-Penn Station.
Rationale: A second Central Park West local service is needed, as well as extra rush hour service along Grand Concourse.

Additional (Q) trains run express from Brighton Beach to Prospect Park marked as <Q>.  There is no (B) service in Brooklyn.

Rationale: Brighton Express service is needed.

(D) service begins at 2 Av and runs as normal to Norwood-205 St. RationaleExpress service is needed on IND 6 Av, and service is needed on Grand Concourse, as well as another express on Central Park West.


Potential issues: the merge just north of W 4 St on the IND 6 Av will get very messy. Also, there's no service at Grand St.

I had another idea where the (C) would take over Grand Concourse along with the (B) as is proposed above, with no (D) service at all (or we label it as (D), but it's the same thing as the (W) above). This leaves 6 Av Express and CPW Express down one service, however.

Not bad, I think the better idea would be to completely cut off (D) service into Brooklyn. Southbound (D) trains would truncate at 34 St-Herald Square or West 4 St. Have all (W) trains running with the (R) into Brooklyn and replace (D) service from there. (B) trains would probably not have a need to run around anyway so at least (W) trains would have extra trains to run to cover Brooklyn. I doubt the (C) would be able to handle Concourse on it's own especially during weekdays so it's best to keep the (D) around.
