Guest lance25 Posted November 11, 2011 Share #101 Posted November 11, 2011 To add on to the previous suggestions: service is split: 1st between Woodlawn & Grand Central, 2nd between Brooklyn Bridge & Utica Av (either that or bring in the shuttle between Essex St & Prospect Park) : weekends to South Ferry for connections to : 1st portion should be extended to Herald Sq to connect to and orange , 2nd portion extended to Whitehall St northbound for lower Manhattan-Brooklyn connections (since the is running over the Manhattan Bridge) and to alleviate overcrowding on IRT platforms at downtown Brooklyn stations There have been some interesting situations going on here. As TM5 says, carry on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadcruiser1 Posted November 11, 2011 Share #103 Posted November 11, 2011 ( trains would terminate at Grand Street. trains would run on the Culver Line to Coney Island. trains would run via Montague Street Tunnel to the Sea Beach Line. trains would run via Montague Street Tunnel to the West End Line. The Brighton Line would become a large from Dekalb Avenue to Coney Island without express service, and the Franklin would be extended farther south to Brighton Beach to give more transfer options to Brighton riders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q43LTD Posted November 11, 2011 Share #105 Posted November 11, 2011 Ummm, I'd run the on it's regular route, and not touch it! As for the routes to replace the , I'd send select trains onto the 53rd St. Connector, as for the loss of the 63rd Connector Service, I'd send few service onto it. ~or~ Simply extend the line to 71st Ave. - Forest Hills over the weekend. You have another problem, what runs to Jamaica Center? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the Cranberry tubes could handle three lines running on it. I'm going to assume you're responding to the problem at B'way-Lafayette and not the MannyB closure scenario. I would run the from Coney Island to Essex-Delancey. You have the option of laying up trains on the tracks northwards to 2 Av since no service will be there, and there is a double crossover south of Essex to provide switching moves. To alleviate the inevitable congestion at that terminal, I'd have alternate trains begin/end their run at Jay St. I do like your train idea. Where would its northern terminal be--Pacific? I know that at Whitehall the signal does not permit moves into the pocket track going northbound.

Guest lance25 Posted November 12, 2011 Share #113 Posted November 12, 2011 How about sending the up to Jamaica-Parsons? It has been done before, albeit rarely. Late nights, I'd split the between 179 St and Parsons-Archer. Of course, I'm wondering exactly why the would be shut down in the first place. What kind of situation would completely shut down a line without affected anything else? I'm just curious, not trying to bust anyone's balls here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoTimer Posted November 12, 2011 Share #114 Posted November 12, 2011 Well for awhile, the reroute scenarios have been getting lamer by the page, and involve things that are virtually impossible (a manhole explosion putting all of Long Island City in the dark along with the services that run through there? lol). Its like people are trying to put stuff that will stump people completely no matter how whimsical it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RookiePhenom Posted November 17, 2011 Share #120 Posted November 17, 2011 Due to switch problems at 96th street and 125th street no trains can pass through either junction, how would you reroute service? Let me take a shot (and let me know how badly I screw this up): Operate 242 to 103 Operates in two sections: Wakefield to Cathedral Parkway and 96th to Flatbush via Local No service in Harlem, Express New Lots to 96th Shuttle buses along Cathedral Parkway/ Central Park North stations to 96th. Make ( Operate Express to compensate for the lack of in Midtown ------------------------------------ in Bronx: Local Woodlawn to 138 in Bronx: Local Eastchester to Central Park North in Bronx: Local Pelham to 3Av No Service. in Manhattan: 125 to New Lots (see exception below) in Manhattan: 125 to Flatbush in Manhattan: Either 125 to Brooklyn Bridge (send Express) or Franklin (via Lex Local) Metro-North honors valid Metrocards during this time? Brooklyn service remains unchanged (unless the 6 goes to Franklin) Alright ladies and gents: Have at it! B) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VWM Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share #121 Posted November 18, 2011 @ RookiePhenom ooh.... ouch. Have you ever seen an NYC subway track map? That's how you solve it, because A. The switches at 96th are north of the Junction and trains cant turn there, B. The does not go to central park north..... C. There is no need for express on CPW. You have the and . D. *Facepalm* Turning trains at 125 means usind the switches an junctions... meaning trains cannot turn there. E. Now sit in the corner. Re-think you post as you look at the track maps on nycsubway.org 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RookiePhenom Posted November 18, 2011 Share #122 Posted November 18, 2011 I knew I'd eff up somewhere...ouch! I looked at the map, but I would assume my guesses were haphazard anyway (probably explains why I never succeeded in math either). Can't blame me for trying...being from Chicago and all.
