I hadn't thought of the psychological, and potential political effects of losing weekend CPW express service for Concourse riders. Common sense, which is unfortunately often lacking, would point out to people that now there'd be no need to switch to (and wait for!) the C for all the local stops.As for the switch issues on the Concourse- run the B to 145th middays, as is done now, to 205th rush hours and let the D end at BPB when the B is on the concourse. Of course, that puts back some of the confusion about what train is running at a particular station and when. OR...just let the D run local on CPW when there is no B. But then there's a major stretch where different routes would be stopping at stations at different times. Think of it this way- from at least the time of Chrystie (11/67), until 1973 or so, the A was full time local on Fulton Street, and the E was express when it was there. Sort of like the B&Q on the Brighton right now. But then, they made the E (later, the CC) local on Fulton when the A was express, and the A local when there was no E/CC. As was the case with the D/M/QB on Brighton. That can be quite confusing at local stations. I think that as long as it's generally practical, the local route should be the 24/7 route and the express simply not be there when there is no express. I realize that would not work well on 4th Avenue. |
