Posted by randyo on Wed Jun 3 18:33:11 2009, in response to Re: EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS: New Jerome line AM express starts test phase on June 8, posted by New Flyer #857 on Wed Jun 3 13:32:22 2009. Back in the late 1970s/early 1980s when I was in the schedule office, we looked at a Woodlawn express which would have been all stop to Burnside and then express to 125 St but it was determined that the ridership at the local stations was too high to justify the service. As part of the service plan, put ins from Mosholu Yd would go into service S/B directly at Bed Pk and make all local stops similar the the old F service pattern in Bkln. The revers service would have been operated in the PM but I don't recall if locals were to discharge at Burnside or Bedford before laying up. Actually, due to the presence of Lehman College at Bed Pk and bus lines at Kingsbridge and Fordham, I think these expresses should run local to Burnside. |
