The nighttime 3 relays south of Times Square, then comes back into the station to stop at the northbound platform. I don't know how long that takes, but it has to take some time. I think they want to make sure there are across-the-platform transfers both from the southbound 3 to the local 1 and 2, and from the (northbound) 1 and 2 to the northbound 3. Otherwise, they could terminate the 3 southbound at 96 St. at night, and still have two services serving the line between there and Times Square. But if they did that, some transferring passengers would have to cross over from one platform to the other. (Also, I don't think the R62a cars have "96 St." listed as a southern terminal.) |
