No trains between Bergen St and Church Av.

Why spend the money if all that's necessary is to have some new trains on the line?

I thought we had discussed this in an earlier thread. If you mean the running to Church Av part, then yes that is impossible and trains would have to turn at Kings Hwy.

What's the problem? The can all fit through the 60th St tunnel, so they can all fit through B'way Local as well.

Timers are annoying in general IRL. There's a problem with the timers though - one can turn green with the next one still being red.

It's called simple decency involved with being on a public forum. We've gone QUITE off topic, so: NEXT No trains may pass the lower level of 50 St/8 Av. No on one track, and no unrealistic or confusing changes. Affected: , others as needed

NO. That is NOT happening.

There's no point - Myrtle riders want Midtown and Brighton Express via tunnel won't work.
