Posted by Dyre Dan on Mon Sep 22 16:57:12 2014, in response to Re: Culver Express, posted by Michael549 on Sun Sep 21 18:05:52 2014. There are a total of 10 stops between Church Ave. and W 8th St. (i.e. Ditmas Ave. thru Neptune Ave.), so with skip-stop operation, each train could skip 5 stops. All could continue to Coney Island as they do now. But it would only save about 3 minutes per train. Is it worth doing? Since most F riders are not coming from Coney Island, probably not. Then again, it might cause some passengers from Coney Island to switch from the D to the F. But the slowness of the F is more perceived than actual. All the lines from Coney Island arrive at Herald Square in about the same amount of time. What the F loses from making so many stops, I expect it gains from not having to deal with delays at the DeKalb Ave. interlockings. |
