I am becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the status of the L train. It is scheduled for some bustitution or other disruption of service almost every weekend, and they say this will last well into 2005.
Rather than be hit with last-minute changes to our route, I thought that maybe we should do something else with our time on Saturday, while retaining the LIRR trip to Far Rockaway, the trips on the A and S trains, AirTrain JFK, and the J and M trains.
If we did postpone riding the L line, then the 3 would see the same fate since we were going to transfer between them in Brooklyn.
What other subway lines offer ample outdoor (elevated or surface) trackage that we haven't yet ridden on one of our Fests since 2001?
There is the 1 line in the Bronx up to Van Courtlandt Park. This could be combined with a ride on Metro North at the Marble Hill station. We also have not ridden as a group the N W line to Astoria/Ditmars Blvd., the branch of the A line to Ozone Park/Lefferts Blvd., nor the S Franklin Shuttle in Brooklyn.
So in this poll, choose whether we should stick with the original plan come L or high water
