MTR Admiralty Posted March 15, 2009 Share #26 Posted March 15, 2009 can use the SF Loop? Or reopen the Bowling Green-SF Shuttle. I mean whats the point of keeping the Old Shuttle Platform closed, when you can have a train loop SF on the and then connect service for the and Shuttle? For Lex, 7th and Bway.. Now thats a good idea.. idc if no one agrees with me lol I doubt that is going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What time does the Last leave loop and new one enters NSF? A) The doors do not really align well at South Ferry. B) You would have the same thing - 5 cars + overcrowding + very slow C) The last is supposed to be around 10am. So it would be the last one before 10am (of course it could change - it might be earlier or later). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTR Admiralty Posted March 15, 2009 Share #28 Posted March 15, 2009 You would have the same thing - 5 cars + overcrowding + very slow Which means tying up the Lex Avenue lie and requiring less 5 trains to run. Which means big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1447 Posted March 15, 2009 Share #29 Posted March 15, 2009 Which means tying up the Lex Avenue lie and requiring less 5 trains to run. Which means big. But you can have a (S)huttle run down there, the would fail I guess then. But (S)huttle will do. Unless there is a problem with switching on the Lex-7th and 7th-Lex Junction?

Unless there is a problem with switching on the Lex-7th and 7th-Lex Junction? In logic, it is a good concept. But in practicability, there may be some errors. First of all, any new line would cost money. And upgrading that platform does need dough, right? You also have to figure out the demands. How many people exit at Bowling Green for the ferry? The walk isn't that bad, just get out of the first car and walk there. Yes, weather patterns may be a concern. But on average, how many days are we rain beaten and gale whipped? Passengers from the Lex have to go downstairs, cross to the underpass and then go back upstairs to the shuttle platform. IMO, all of this isn't necessary.

trainspot12 Posted March 16, 2009 Share #31 Posted March 16, 2009 And the loop will be used to turn extra trains (after terminating at Rector Street). There will be some trains that will be stored at the old station loop. So it won't be abandoned completely (it will be closed by the public).

There will be some trains that will be stored at the old station loop. So it won't be abandoned completely (it will be closed by the public). Terminating at Rector? Wow. When this happens, that loop will not be revenue trackage, so railfanners are not allowed to remain on, if a train happens to terminate at Rector.

Also whats going to happen to the Office at SF station[is that the Tower or dispatchers office]? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
