While your plan wouldn't be cost neutral, I think it a creative idea to use a "new" overnight route to eliminate shuttles and transfers, making it not as costly.But having the D and N run express overnight in Brooklyn isn't all that necessary. Not exactly a major action item, especially at a time when MTA has showed its preference for overnight local service by making the Q Broadway Local at night. Also, the D would still probably be better off running local as it has to stop at DeKalb. To stop at the DeKalb bridge track from the 4th Ave express means cutting off the 4th Ave local, and the Brighton service. Probably not too hard at overnight intervals, but still that's what's necessary. (Skipping DeKalb overnight would not be an option). I do wonder, however, if the D currently runs local on 4th Ave at night because of interest in serving those local stations, or because running express wouldn't save on crew costs, or because of the switching situation, or all or some of these. |
