R32 Anthony Posted January 18, 2009 Share #1 Posted January 18, 2009 I always wondered why the train terminates at Euclid Avenue instead of Lefferts Blvd. It is only 7 stops. This could allow the train more service to the Rockaways. Another idea is going back to 1977 when the train, now the train ended at Rockaway Park and get rid of the train down there. It is really cool to look at some old subway maps and see where trains used to go. I am reading a 1977 subway guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is really cool to look at some old subway maps and see where trains used to go. I am reading a 1977 subway guide. I agree with the going to Lefferts full time 7 days a week. However it's a bad idea to extend the ©or the to/from Rockaway Park as i read on this and other NYC transit websites that ppl have proposed to made. The (E)is already the 2nd busiest subway line in terms of riders using (behind only the ) so any delays along the Fulton or Rockaway pensuila and Queens Blvd riders might riot. Ditto for the ©going to Rock Park. Plus the ridership on Rockaway Park stations other than Beach 98th(public housing project)and Beach 116th is the lowest of any NYC subway coordior line.So the Rock Park (S)is fine at all other times other than rush hours when the Diamond (A)runs.

Forest Glen Posted January 18, 2009 Share #3 Posted January 18, 2009 The 6 is the busiest subway line. Getting back to the topic, Lefferts riders won't give up their A express for a C local. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N-Trizzy2609 Posted January 18, 2009 Share #4 Posted January 18, 2009 Having the to end at Leffers is a great idea. It would be perfect to have the C run to Leffers and have select Trains run express in peak direction express skipping Rockaway and 88th Street. And have the run all times but run it from Euclid Avenue to Leffers. With a 4 Car R32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novabus 5000 Posted January 18, 2009 Share #5 Posted January 18, 2009 Okay. I think that the should operate from broad channel to beach 116, to Far Rockaway and the to Lefferts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlushingExpress Posted January 18, 2009 Share #6 Posted January 18, 2009 Okay. I think that the should operate from broad channel to beach 116, to Far Rockaway and the to Lefferts. bad idea. the is the local, so it cannot have a very long route like that.

Shortline Bus Posted January 18, 2009 Share #7 Posted January 18, 2009 Flushing please give R160B a 'break' LOL he only 10 years old. I think for his age R160B seems to be very smart With that said you right. Extending either or (very bad idea)to Rockaway Park is a terrible idea. Plus the ridership other than weekdays and summer weekends is very light. There a reason the MTA by 1988, no longer had the or the run along the Rockaway Pensuila line. Personally i love to see the Rock Park (S)extended to either Howard Beach/JFK or even Rockaway Blvd/Cross Bay for increased transfer connections.

UlmerPark B6 Posted January 18, 2009 Share #8 Posted January 18, 2009 Won't extending the have to make the , 10 cars? Anyway, if you extend the to Lefferts Blvd, then you can cut the and run to Rocakaway Pk full time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, if you extend the to Lefferts Blvd, then you can cut the and run to Rocakaway Pk full time. The main problem is, that many residents will be infuriated by the fact that there would be no more express service coming out from Lefferts and that they have to take the local in.

VinnyBrooklyn Posted January 21, 2009 Share #14 Posted January 21, 2009 It would cost a lot of money for the extra motorman and conductors to run the all the time. So that would never happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would revise the (A)diamond to run to/from Lefferts rush hours only. That the only way the NIMBYS near the Lefferts stations IMO would ever agree to the running full time.

FamousNYLover Posted January 21, 2009 Share #16 Posted January 21, 2009 Also at yesterday's public hearing, about cutting service and proposal service changes. The Rockaways resident are not happy with Rockaway Park or long train. They want all times at Far Rockaway, at Rockaway Park, and at Ozoen Park because they have no choice and they have to paid $1.03 discount at Cross Bay Bridge toll to get bet Queens and Queens.

UlmerPark B6 Posted January 26, 2009 Share #23 Posted January 26, 2009 has to mean Euclid Avenue. trains cannot terminate at Broadway Junction. Actually it can. But you have to relay like this: You clear, Manhattan-bound side of Broadway Junction. You switch to express-track, Manhattan-bound, then switch to the Queens-bound express track. The T/O on the other side operate sthe trian back to the station on the Queens-bound side express. You switch back to the local track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
