The proponents of the plans say that the criss-crossing of trains in both directions won't delay service, cause traffic tie-ups, etc. and to "trust us" because we have a good idea.Crossovers in rush hour are a major pain and seriously reduce capacity. I frequently see what happens northbound in the AM at 34th on the N/Q/R and it is painful to endure. But non-rush hour is a totally different issue. There is no reason you can't stuff 3 separate services each doing 6 tph onto a single track (or have a crossover that involves these) if that meets a useful objective. The main reason not to send the M to 145th on the weekend is the cost of many more M trains, not switching the M from the local track to the express track. |
