As for the residents along the Lefferts branch, they had only local service for several years when the A was the Fulton St lcl and the rush hour E was the Fulton St express. The only problem I can see with that until the arrival of the R-188s is that the midnight Euclid to Lefferts shuttle service is OPTO and with the present car assignments (not the temporary summer assignment) some R-46s would have to be transferred from the A Line for the midnight service. Otherwise, it's not a bad idea since the C could be full time Lefferts to Euclid and extended to 168 St during "normal" hours. That brings in a new question, however. Would the headways to Lefferts and Far Rock be the same as those N/O Euclid or would alternate A and C trains be short turned at Euclid? If the alternate short turn service pattern were to be adopted, it could cause problems with crewing trains especially in the event of service disruptions putting crews out of place. |
