NEXT: Due to a derailment, the Broadway northbound tracks are unusable Canal Street - 57 St/7 Av. Also, due to construction, the 6th Avenue express tracks are shut down Broadway/Lafayette St - 42 Street/Bryant Park. Trains can go through the named stations, but have to switch tracks at the next switch.

 

My solution to my own problem -

 

(B) Suspended.

(D) Via 6th Avenue Local

(F) Unaffected

(M) Via 8th Avenue Local

(N)(R) Northbound trains via Broadway Express (using downtown express tracks). Southbound unaffected.

(Q) Via Nassau Street Line to Chambers Street.

That may be too many trains on Queens Blvd.

The work at the Bleecker St Station has made it so no uptown local trains can pass by or stop at the station. Reroute the (6).

45tph is too much.

 

(A) = 15tph

(C) = 7tph

(F) = 15tph

(M) = 8tph

 

(Yes, the (A) is 15tph. Check the schedule: between 7:30am and 9:00am there's a train every 3-4 minutes Manhattan bound)

 

 

The (A) is actually more like 20, so 18 would be the best estimate.

NEXT: no trains can terminate at WTC due to a derailment. Because of flooding, the express tracks at Broadway-Lafayette West 4 St are unusable.

 

EDIT: West 4 St, not Broadway Lafayette. Sorry.

 

Okay, I'm going to re-write my scenario because I've gotta change some things:

No trains can terminate at WTC due to a derailment. Because of flooding the 6 Av express tracks at West 4 St are unusable. Rules: 30 TPH total service must be maintained on both the 6 Av and 8 Av lines.
