Posted by New Flyer #857 on Wed Sep 17 10:47:51 2014, in response to Restoring (F) Brooklyn Express train proposal, posted by Gold_12th on Tue Sep 16 20:05:08 2014. No way for express service to help overcrowding because (Bklyn) express service will not fit with (Bklyn) local service together with E trains on Queens Blvd. You will still have the same number of F trains total, even if some are express.They don't want express service; they just want more service, but there's no room for it without a relay point prior to the Queens Blvd line, and there is no realistic one available. Introducing express service means inevitably cutting local service, and the overcrowding will grow at local stations. If select F trains from Coney Island/Kings Hwy operate express north of Church Ave with a synchronized F local train starting at Church Ave so that the local stations don't "miss" a train. Still, that means two trains going through the Rutgers tube (and onto Queens Blvd) where there used to be one. Perhaps that pattern can be done twice or three times per hour, but that's it. |
