And after we do that, we could send the B over to W'Burg Bridge via the Christie connection, and utilize the "shallow Christie" option for the 2nd ave connection at Grand, build a track connection to send a 2nd Ave service over the Manhattan Bridge to pick up the slack on the Brighton line.

The difference is that you'd have to order new decals, and reprogram the trains if you called it the M. Wouldnt have to do either calling it the V.

I understand the layout of those switches. My response was addressing a poster's proposed changes to the current service pattern which would involve trains crossing paths, NOT the current service pattern itself. Regardless, No matter how the switches are set up, when a train on track B has to get to track A while a train on track A has to get to track B, all the while through service that remains on BOTH tracks A and B respectively is mixed in...it is a bad idea.

(Pretend there are switches in the middle of the two tracks and you are running the following services - 1,2,3,4).
1,2 ===========
3,4 ===========

A service pattern such as this one would never work, because of the delays it would cause:
1,2 =========== 1,3
3,4 =========== 2,4

That is EXACTLY what would happen at West 4 should the idea of "swapping" the South Terminals of the C and V actually occur: Delays.

Now I understand that the switches at W4 would allow the following service pattern to work without actually disturbing things:
1,2 =========== 3,4
3,4 =========== 1,2

..But that is not what was being proposed by Wallyhorse, so I didn't address it.

THIS IS NOT A DONE DEAL

THIS PLAN IS ONLY UNDER CONSIDERATION

NOTHING COULD HAPPEN AND SERVICE WOULD REMAIN AS IS

With all the fighting and speculation that has gone on as a result of my single post (which has grown like a wildfire onto three other boards), I am absolutely kicking myself in the ass for having said anything in the first place. What I MUST DO is keep my mouth shut and keep anything I hear to myself. I have nothing to gain and everything to lose by making things public and all of this commotion has only reinforced this.

WOW!

Well, I never thought they would reduce the V like that, but since they're in drastic cutback mode, it's more believable, and if they're willing to do this, then, hey; it would be great for us in this area! Give us acess we've never really had. (It would be inconvenient for my wife who's going to school down by City Hall now, and she hates transferring!)
But otherwise, it would show people the connection, and perhaps create demand (hope this doesn't deter them).

I doubt it would require any more cars to run, than present. CTL-MET would probably be no longer than BPY-MET, and don't forget, since it would be merging two lines, you're actually running half as many cars. The service would likely still be based at ENY, though some cars would likely be stored at JYD, basically like they're stored at CIY now.
More 46's would then be sent to PIT/207, and there would probably be a surplus. Perhaps the worst of the 44's would be mothballed.
Wonder which district (section) it would be (North or Queens).

Now, when the Culver/Gowanus viaduct work is finished, I would still hope they would run the V to Church on weekedays, and keep the MET service for weekends. They really should consider putting the third track at 72/2 back in the SAS design, because that would be a possible terminal for Met via 6th service on weekdays, should the demand to keep that service remain.

Anoother thing I just realized; since the (V) always gets suspended when there are serious delays on the line or even the other lines, then this service would make it easier to stage the line (start up service again), since part of it in a remote area (Essex-MET) would still be running.

You would probably have to reprogram it either way since the cars that would have to be used on a combined service would be ENY's R-160s and not Jamaica's.

But M is on every station on the M line from Met to Essex so something has to be changed anyhow. From What I understand, the reason that K wasn't used for the J Line skip stop was because after it ceased being used for the 8 Av lcl, it was planned to used it for an alternative L skip stop service which never materialized.

I agree with you but I think the OP was referring to a train that had both terminals in the same borough and also passed through one or more other boroughs along its route. Services such as the Bx portion of the 3 Av el, the original Lenox lcl (145 St - So/Fy), AA lcl etc are givens since they never departed the borough as the E train did and still does.

No, the J line skip stop began at the same time the 8th Ave service ended, so they would not redesignate the letter like that to a totally unrelated line. The Canarise skip stop idea came much later, and "Y" was also considered for that.
The signs had been printed years earlier, and from what I have heard once, they originally considering having K be both the 8th Ave local, and additional Jamaica service by through-routing them, via Chrystie St. (V also was eyed as running through the connection, as in this latest idea!) So I imagine when this did not materialize, K ended up on the 8th Ave segment as single letter counterpart to AA (I had thought H would be better, but that was at the same time reserved for the Rockways, as it was previously), and then they had to come up with Z as the new skip stop. (They could have also made Z the 8th Ave local, so it would have been a variation of the similar sounding C, which swallowed the line anyway).

Maybe it was earlier, then. I do remember hearing about a 168-168 service, which of course would have to be way before then. So perhaps, the letter was reserved for that, and they just used it on the 8th Av portion, or it was made blue on the new signs as a provision for that, but then, the signs came in handy for the AA double letter elimination, and you just never heard about the earlier original plan because it wasn't brought back up then.

so since you were around then, did they consider running the 6th Ave shuttle through to the East? I think I may have heard something like that as well. (and the cars reportedly came from ENY).

There's no need for connecting the Nassau St line to the bridge again. If there's a need for Nassau St to southern Brooklyn, then they could run the Z into Brooklyn.
Z skip stop with the J and maybe run it express from Broadway Junction to Marcy. Or just have the Z start only from Broadway Junction and run to Bay Parkway since it'll be rush hour only.

Even if they swapped all 4 lines E-F and C-V, it wouldn't really change much. Riders on the Fulton line in Brooklyn can just easily change from 6th to 8th av lines at Jay St.
The only 'benefit' for the C would be that it runs 8-car trains and would make it easier to combine with the M.

Understand the negatives totally, however:

Those who do need the Nassau Street line stations on the M in the current setup (which was likely going to be eliminated anyway regardless of the combo line) can either take a Broadway line train two blocks west or switch to the 4/5 at Atlantic-Pacific, which stops one block west of Nassau, so it would not be THAT big of a deal (an inconvience, sure, but not as bad in this case).

I can assure the board that NYCT is considering lots of stuff that you and I haven't even thought of. They are a lot smarter than we give them credit for.

That is Zman's only point. There was no idea to share.

Yeah, I just don't understand why they couldn't just have it signed as the M though. I mean just post signs on the Manhattan end that the J is not running at all and the M is replacing it for the weekend.
Instead they had to make it the J to Metro just so that the Manhattan end doesn't get confused about what's running.

And even more odd is they have the E run via 6th Av or basically the 'V'. IF the MTA was so concerned about confusion on the Manhattan end, they should've just have the V run instead of the E.

Simple, do not indulge certain posters with such info as they would probably blow it out of proportions. Send info to those that can 'keep a secret'.
Don't let this incident deter you from sharing more insider info with the rest of us.

With the current set up, I don't think they can terminate trains at Essex anymore. It would have to go to Chambers.

It's a shame the B5 and B50 [i think] routes were combined into the B82. They should've just used the B5 name.

The V isn't even full as it is. A reduction of 120' won't affect it that much.

It will take pressure off the L by giving M riders a direct to Midtown line than to transfer to the L or F. But is it going to be THAT major a difference?

"The only two factors that would ease the L line's overcrowding would to have the M terminate at Chambers Street on weekends, and additional service on the J line."

How do either of these ease the L line's overcrowding? In fact, there isn't much of a demand for Nassau Street service as it is. The J currently terminates at Chambers on weekends and the Fulton and Broad Street stations are closed.

"One idea that would make the V line even more useful is to extend it to Avenue C & East Houston Street. I bet you that ridership would drop on the M14 and in turn would help out the L line greatly in Manhattan."

Agreed. That is a very good idea. But it will take hundreds of millions of dollars to build such an extension. And it's not even on the MTA's radar right now.

Knock it off. You are not the moderator of this board and you don't have the right to say "shut up" to someone whose opinions are different from yours. Nothing's written in stone yet, so there's no need to get bent out of shape over Wally's post.

M service to downtown Brooklyn will be cut under the MTA's "Doomsday" service plan anyway, even if the M/V combo doesn't happen.

Yes, but it's not like the G is going to be extended back Continental Avenue if this happens. The MTA is already planning to terminate the G at Court Square full time, with or without an M/V combo.

"V to Euclid Avenue, hell yeah."

If I may be so bold to ask, why?
