One of the issues with the idea of skip-stop service on the Brooklyn-F train, is the differences between the Brooklyn F-train, and the examples of the 1/9, and the J/Z.In the case of the 1/9, and the J/Z - both variants went to the last terminal on the line. On the Brooklyn F-train, trains both enter service and drop out of service at the Kings Highway, Avenue X, and Coney Island terminals. It was suggested to create skip-stop service between Kings Highway and Church Avenue, just for six stations. Such a small number of stations would not really balance the passenger load between the trains that start at Coney Island, and that start at Kings Highway. The 179th Street station in Queens is a very capable superb terminal that in the past handled both the 15-tph of the E train, and 15-tph of the F-train during the rush hours. The Coney Island station does not seem capable of such a feat, if all F-trains that start service from there. Just a few thoughts. Mike |
