FamousNYLover Posted April 2, 2009 Share #3 Posted April 2, 2009 When I look at title, I saw it meant no trains with extended to Kings Highway on via Stillwell Av. So this G.O means operates between Coney Island & Prospect Park while shuttle bus operates between Atlantic Av & Prospect Park. and on Broadway track bet. 57th & Atlantic Av?

WTF, are they working on, I mean I understand, if it was no trains runnning between Kings Hwy and Prospect Park, but I hate this. It appears it has something to do with the tunnel between Atlantic and Prospect Park. I have seen alot of work going on between Prospect Park and 7th Ave sometimes. I would expect the FAS to be a little more crowded for that weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattTrain Posted April 3, 2009 Share #11 Posted April 3, 2009 I know right, but supposedly, the shuttle stops at the closed stations. 7 Avenue ( station will be closed with this GO (I believe the only closed station between DeKalb Avenue and Prospect Park) however, Grand Army Plaza is walking distance from the ( 7 Avenue station. You're right a shuttle bus will serve closed stations. The riders are going to go through a lot that weekend. Better prepare yourselves riders.

R62A 1991 Posted April 3, 2009 Share #13 Posted April 3, 2009 If the was running express in Brooklyn, I'd advise riders south of Kings Hwy to go to Coney Island for the , rather than deal with the shuttle bus, or deal with 12 minute headways on the Franklin Av and the slowest portion of the Eastern Pkwy IRT (going northbound is timer city). But now, I don't know, maybe they should deal with the shuttle bus. Just remember that the Franklin Av IRT is dealing with the shuttle bus, which will be a LOT of people waiting at the northbound platform. Add enough riders and the place will be even more of madhouse than it was last weekend. But 7th Av riders should have no problem at all, Bergen St is really close like others have stated.

They'd never add service on the IRT for something like this anyway. Oh man... but the thing is though, there are a lot of GOs in the area that require shuttle buses. The A used Artics, O5s, O7 OG and RTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly, plus, I don't really see the incentive of transferring at 34th for the D. However, those who know about the GO could avoid crowds by taking the D at 34th, rather than the N.
