Posted by Bill from Maspeth on Sun Apr 27 10:20:27 2014, in response to Re: Overnight (Q) train service will make local stops in Manhattan (Canal - 57 Sts); 12/2014, posted by AlM on Sun Apr 27 07:17:25 2014. With a 20 minute headway I'm sure the 1:50 arrival would leave not at 2:01 (the train across the platform would) rather would leave at 2:21.Conceivably trains could leave STL earlier to make up for the difference in running time and leave 57/7 at the same time arriving back to STL 2-3 minutes later. Therefore I don't see the need for an additional train or crew. From the hours of local operation a couple of late PM crews would go local in Manhattan, perhaps just one way. Midnight crews would go local either once, once-and-a-half, or twice. NYCT wants more out of their train crews for less money and they are accomplishing it. I have no idea where they get this change costing them $73,000 from. The increased running time is abysmal. A crew can easily lose 2-3 minutes just with 1 track gang. |
