CenSin Posted July 18, 2017 Share #1551 Posted July 18, 2017 Thats basically more of a Train route than the for the late nights and was done for a weekend/late night G.O before which is why running the between Whitehall Street and Coney Island (Late Nights) is too confusing. Excepting that, one less transfer at night is a very tempting proposition—especially at evening headways. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkstar8983 Posted July 18, 2017 Share #1552 Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) sorry to all who are on this forum, but I am new at typing on forums. However, if I may, i would like to make a suggestion as to how they could have routed this train service change much better/more efficiently: 1. Run the train in 2 sections: a. 205 St to 2 Av (via the Local) as proposed b. Times Sq-42 St (Broadway Line) to Stillwell Av via Broadway/4 Av Express (Express in Manhattan all weekend and express in Brooklyn during daytime hours) and West End. 2. No trains running (The is already not running past Queens Plaza towards 71 Av and not running south of 36 St-Brooklyn towards 95th St). 3. trains make all stops via the R line between Canal St and 59 St-Brooklyn the whole weekend 4. trains make local stops in Manhattan between 57 St-7 Av and Canal St (through the Manhattan Bridge) to allow the train to terminate at Times Square *Now a transfer between the two train sections is established at 42 St. *No un-necessary shuttle trains in Brooklyn (West End) or short-turn runs along the line at Queens Plaza or 9 Av *Broadway still has two locals and one express service Edited July 18, 2017 by darkstar8983 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bstar1 Posted July 18, 2017 Share #1553 Posted July 18, 2017 2 Sections: They could also have run between Coney Island and Via Broadway Line to 96 St-2 Av with . 205 St to 2 Av- station. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteriousBtrain Posted July 18, 2017 Share #1555 Posted July 18, 2017 Honestly I wouldn't mind a suspended in Brooklyn and the being extended to Coney Island. It's not as bad as everyone thinks. Even if we are done with "regular" weekend changes from the 1990's and the asians get more confused, I rather have this G.O. teach a lesson about how you should look up your plans before going out, even for short distances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the "Yellow " goes to 96th, you can have that and the run express as usual while the runs as the sole local. Honestly I wouldn't mind a suspended in Brooklyn and the being extended to Coney Island. It's not as bad as everyone thinks. Even if we are done with "regular" weekend changes from the 1990's and the asians get more confused, I rather have this G.O. teach a lesson about how you should look up your plans before going out, even for short distances. That I agree with. Make them learn to pay attention as I learned the hard way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel The Cool Posted July 24, 2017 Share #1570 Posted July 24, 2017 What work's gonna be done here? I know they're supposed to do some work at WTC Tracks. As for the G.O, I'm guessing the usual electrical work. Plus this time the Train will be running 6th Avenue Local to fill in instead of staying express. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulk88 Posted July 26, 2017 Share #1572 Posted July 26, 2017 They should overlap whatever work they can while the line is shut down. I think this 75th Ave switch replacement GO is this years Hillside Ave Fasttrack. 179 street queens bound platform level ceiling got scrapped and repainted during one of the weekend GOes since previously it one of the most falling paint chips places in the system. They are doing other work, probably all Fasttrack style, during the east of 71 ave GO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
