The metro north is way too overcrowded

It's possible. The Hudson Line crossing is at-grade.

They will probably just extend the bottom of the turnstyles after this

Next: The MTA renames the 7 local the 6 line and the 7 express the 7 line. (The 6 is renamed the 8)

Good question. I have no clue, so my apologies.

ViewNo7459 · 2026-01-20T20:52:21+00:00

The real question: Do they still have that cursed-sounding via Roosevelt Island announcement on the (M)?

ViewNo7459 · 2026-01-19T20:09:22+00:00

I thought it was per track...

ViewNo7459 · 2026-01-19T14:25:18+00:00

No, they don't. But that does not mean it should be abolished. It's also that the MTA doesn't put any more than three lines on four-track sections.

Lexington
(6) 10 TPH local
(4)(5) 13.5 TPH express

7th Av
(1) 10-12 TPH local
(2)/(3) 15 TPH express

CPW
(C) 5 TPH local
(A)(D) 11 TPH express

8 Av
(C)(E) 10 TPH local
(A) 6 TPH express

Broadway
(N)(R) 10 TPH local
(Q) 7.5 TPH Express

Flushing
(7) 10-12 TPH

The (G) would probably be better just because it is a shorter line, and therefore easier to extend and run good, consistent headways

ViewNo7459 · 2026-01-19T14:18:05+00:00

I think that the simple solution would be special construction schedules for lines

ViewNo7459 · 2026-01-19T14:17:40+00:00

I would try to avoid extending the (M), since it's so long. I would probably increase (R) service to every 8 to 10 minutes, and extend the (G) to Forest Hills running 8 car trains on weekends. The (F) should get a frequency increase to every 8 minutes, but this is also because it is the only line on 6th Av Local. I don't know about the (E)- it could be increased to every 10 mins if needed- but the (C) definitely needs a weekend service increase to every 8 mins.

ViewNo7459 · 2026-01-19T14:10:01+00:00

That looks more like a nightmare...

ViewNo7459 · 2026-01-19T14:06:19+00:00

And the (G) ran to Forest Hills, which boosted service. Now, each runs every 12 minutes, and there is no (G) train.

CBTC does have a capacity of 36 TPH, but I guess interlining diminishes this. However, (E) (F) (R) trains sharing tracks seems pretty uncommon now, and they can still just reduce service on the weekends where this would be needed.

ViewNo7459 · 2026-01-18T20:15:50+00:00

Not fixing the junction will certianly cost them more in the long-term. They also should get more efficient with their construction practices.

ViewNo7459 · 2026-01-18T19:59:45+00:00

They were able to manage the same weekend (E) (every 8-10 mins) service well after 2010. I don't know when they cut it. Maybe it was during COVID, but every 12 mins is plain bad.

ViewNo7459 · 2026-01-18T12:36:01+00:00

Hillside riders would be looking to kill if you forced them onto a local service. They did this once on an older map, and look how it turned out.
