UlmerPark B6 Posted December 22, 2008 Share #1 Posted December 22, 2008 Based on what I see, it seems like the has been killed. Is this true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortline Bus Posted December 22, 2008 Share #2 Posted December 22, 2008 Based on what I see, it seems like the has been killed. Is this true? Nope the (Z)is still running. Reason many people never see it is that it only runs about 3 hours a day during the rush weekdays appx.Broad St bound 7-83oam and Jamaica bound appx. 5:15pm-630pm. The earliest the & (W)can be gone is around next May-June 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTR Admiralty Posted December 23, 2008 Share #5 Posted December 23, 2008 The is still here as people above said, so is the lovely that I am going to miss. only runs during rush hours, so , it will be eliminated. The may have a great chance of being saved... Yeah, the skip stop service really causes problems in terms of scheduling trains. The would really work well if there was an express track from say Eastern Parkway to just past 121th Street. However, there is again, the issue of feasibility and money resources.

MTR Admiralty Posted December 23, 2008 Share #7 Posted December 23, 2008 Yeah, I agree. The also would cause delays since it sometimes uses the Bi-Directional Center Tracks and sometimes local. A heck of a lot of delays will happen. Skip stop service affects the service much more now: Here is the current scenario. Train A and B stop at Station 0, say. Train A is ahead of B. Train A pulls out of Station 0, heading towards Station A. It stops at Station A. Meanwhile Train B is at Station 0, and has to wait for the signal to clear before proceeding. Train A skips Station B and stops at Station C. The signal clears for Train B, Train B skips Station A and stops at Station B. However it has to wait for the signal to clear. Train A pulls out of Station C, before Train B could pull out of Station B and skip C. That is the set up for the skip stop service. A unidirectional express track (like the set up with the ) would really help people along the Jamaica Line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTR Admiralty Posted December 23, 2008 Share #9 Posted December 23, 2008 Oh my, the words are confusing already! I am going to get so darn confused if I am a dispatcher, :eek:! Skip stop is not so easy as it sounds. It really is a rather complicated process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattTrain Posted December 23, 2008 Share #11 Posted December 23, 2008 The is in service. From my observations, trains begin at Jamaica Center in Queens to Broad Street in Manhattan in the Morning rush. After the goes to Broad Street, it goes back only to Broadway Junction in Brooklyn, where the gets taken out of service. (7-8:30AM) In the Afternoon/Evening Rush hours the begins service at Broadway Junction in Brooklyn, making local stops to Broad Street. It then turns around and heads to Jamaica Center, Queens via skip-stop service. (4:30-6:10-PM) The times are based on the (J)/(Z) timetable: http://mta.info/nyct/service/pdf/tjcur.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Pond Posted December 23, 2008 Share #12 Posted December 23, 2008 What if they make it go express from Myrtle-Bway to Eastern Pkwy (Bway Junction)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B41 Posted December 23, 2008 Share #13 Posted December 23, 2008 I don't that would happen because the J and Z both run skip-stop service in one direction and the Z that is going to Broadway Junction can't run on the same track while the J is in skip-stop service.
