I noticed the next scheduled Fastrack closure is the IND Sixth Avenue Line. Looking over a map, I realized this involves closing the Chrystie St. Connection, leaving no way to get between the West End and Concourse Lines, complicating reroutes for the D within Manhattan for the duration of the closure, similar to the reroutes they did this week putting 8th Avenue Line trains on the 6th Avenue Line.
I then realized what they must plan on doing is swapping the termini of the D and F, leaving these two lines overnight in lieu of the normal overnight Sixth Avenue trains:
Concourse local-8th Avenue Express-Culver Local
Queens Boulevard Express-Broadway Express-West End Local.
Could an insider confirm if this is what the MTA has planned? If this is not their plan, what do they plan on doing? Will they be offering any through-service, or will this be more like the 7th Avenue Line Fastrack, with mostly branch shuttles to transfer stations?
