sorry, hipsters, L trains might not run to Manhattan for 3 or more years, to allow for repair work for damage from Hurricane Sandy. -- (link) - znufrii Jan 13, 18:34 16
- There's no conceivable way they need to shut the tube down for 3.5 years straight. That's insane. -- nm - ty97 Jan 13, 18:41 15
  - *tigger pounces* -- nm - b. Jan 13, 18:44
  - reading the article more closely, the full shutdown in both directions would only last just about a year if they went that route -- (edited) - znufrii Jan 13, 18:44 13
    - The G ran with only one track for a while. They alternated between Queens bound and Brooklyn bound trains during the week and shut it down -- (edited) - Krusty Jan 13, 18:56 6
      - But we're talking about grown up train lines :) - ty97 Jan 13, 18:57 5
        
        Ha! Sure, it carries much fewer riders but it's still the same idea. They shared one tunnel going back and forth. - Krusty Jan 13, 19:03 4
        
        It seems like it would be much more useful to a lot of folks if it continued to Roosevelt Ave, as I think it can. - ty97 Jan 13, 19:07 3
        
        It used to go out to 71st Ave and Kew Gardens. I guess they felt there wasn't enough ridership to keep it going out there. - Krusty Jan 13, 19:14 2
        
        I think I read that there was just too much congestion from the E/F/M/R trains that the line could not also handle the G. - ty97 Jan 13, 19:16 1
        
        I didn't know that. It went to Queens Plaza for a while when I first got here but they cut it to Court Sq. - Krusty Jan 13, 19:36
    - I think I'd prefer the pain of the one year plan if I lived there. - ty97 Jan 13, 18:45 5
      - They have so few options but buses and walking to the J/M/Z. It would be a nightmare. - Krusty Jan 13, 18:54 4
        
        Either option is awful for sure. I just can't imagine L train riders surviving on half (or less) service via one tracking. - ty97 Jan 13, 18:59 3
        
        I would choose the band-aid option and go for the fastest way to get the work done. They're going to get inconvenienced either way so it - Krusty Jan 13, 19:04 2
        
        yup. But ouch, still sucks for them. -- nm - ty97 Jan 13, 19:05 1
