So in essence you would keep the N-train, the Q-train, and the proposed W-train operating 24/7/365?

It is rare for the MTA to run two (2) midnight hour express routes on the same line. Only in recent years has the #3 been operated in such a manner - otherwise during the midnight hours usually only 1 or 2 routes operate over a given train line. Very rare indeed for a second "full-length" express route for midnight hour services. In this case, the #3 midnight hour route is not "full-length".

When I proposed that the N-train only run from 96th Street-2nd Avenue to Coney Island from 6am to midnight, over the same pathway that you also suggest where the only difference is that you extend the running hours to 24/7 - you say that I'm trying to confuse riders about which platform at Canal Street this N-train would run on. I don't understand who is confused.

In my case, if at Canal Street on the express platform if the N-train is not running there, that is because the N-train is not running at all. In my proposal, if the N-train is running, one would have to take the W-train (if the C-train is not running - one has to take the A-train).

The pathway and times of the W-train I proposed was a recent routing of the midnight hours W-train of some years ago - nothing special or far-fetched. As well as a daytime running pathway of the W-train from a few years ago.

Just my thoughts.
Mike
