The reason for building the third tracks was never to provide express service, although the IRT does do this. The reason is to provide flexibility in case of a breakdown and flexibility for maintenance.Which third tracks are you talking about? All the BRT/BMT third tracks anticipated express service. Express service was run on Fulton and Broadway-Brooklyn, and expresses on Culver and West End was anticipated by express stations at 18th Avenue, Kings Highway, 62nd Street and Bay Parkway. |
