That could make things a bit dangerous for passengers since the Astoria platforms were shaved back back in the 1940's to fit BMT width cars. Use of IRT width cars there would leave a dangerous 1 foot gap between the car and the platform.

The MTA would have to put platform extenders on each platform.

And it would have to be a shuttle since the only crossover between BMT and IRT is south of Queensboro Plaza on the upper level.
