Posted by Wallyhorse on Sat Jun 14 12:06:23 2008, in response to Re: Keeping old South Ferry station open for the Lexington line after the 1 moves to its new station, posted by trainsarefun on Sat Jun 14 09:51:04 2008. That may have been the prevailing thought at the time of constructing the new terminal for the 1, however, the 5 used to also terminate there in the past, and that station was originally part of the what has been the Lexington Avenue line for the last 90 years and NOT the west side line.As I understand it, riders coming from Staten Island on the ferry want to have the option to get to the Lexington Avenue line at South Ferry once the 1 train moves to its new terminal, and my way of doing it (5 train when it normally terminates at Bowling Green, shuttle train operating between SF and BG when the 5 is running to Brooklyn during mainly rush hours and the 6 train extended to SF when the 5 is not running in Manhattan) would likely work since the 5 (or 6 if extended) would have to use the loop anyway down there. |
