Posted by R30A on Mon Jun 16 20:18:09 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 Hank Eisenstein on Mon Jun 16 16:47:46 2008. 7 cars can platform, there is a full car length both in front and behind the 5 platforming cars. So yes, I should have qualified that statement- 3 cars worth of platform, and the addition of gap fillers to two carlengths of existing platform.Either way-- 1. I highly doubt south ferry is even close to the top 10 most congested areas in the subway 2. The existing station likely can run significantly higher amounts of service then the new station. 3. an additional exit could have been added for a grand total of ZERO DOLLARS!(IT WAS ADDED!, then removed) 4. The new station will have LESS CONVENIENT access to the ferry, and I highly suspect that nearly all ferry patrons will use the southern entrance to the station, making such a justification rather baseless. |
