From a previous message:But if they ever wanted to have some real fun, they could do something like this: 6th Ave Express - Bridge - 4th Ave Local - 95th St 6th Ave Express - Bridge - Brighton Broadway Local - Tunnel - Brighton Broadway Express - Bridge - 4th Ave Express - West End Broadway Express - Bridge - 4th Ave Express - Sea Beach ------------- The last three of proposed routes in your list were actual real-life routings in the past. The basic idea with the Sixth Avenue line was that for financial and prestige reasons - Sixth Avenue Express trains were routed to/from Coney Island - with the IND take-over. The one subway line that travels down the "center" of Manhattan with direct access to Washington Heights, the Bronx, Queens & Brooklyn! I'm pretty sure there used to be a "Broadway Local - Tunnel - Brighton" that went to Astoria. The interesting part is the talk of the current R-train being "all local every where" which is recreated in this scheme. I suppose that you'd send this route to Astoria, but I also note that connecting Astoria to your either of your "Broadway Express - Bridge - 4th Ave Express" routes to both Sea Beach & West End - has also been done in the past. In addition - it appears that your "6th Ave Express - Bridge - Brighton" would be a part time route - again gaining the wrath of those who pitched and moaned about the D-train moving off the Brighton line and not serving the DeKalb Avenue station. Using today's (recent past routes) it seems that your "6th Ave Express - Bridge - 4th Ave Local - 95th St" and your "Broadway Local - Tunnel - Brighton" would be the only routes that would consistently stop at the DeKalb Avenue station. Just some thoughts. Mike |
