It makes perfectly good sense to turn a few extra M trains at QP

Good sense within NYCT is an oxymoron.

A couple of decades ago, I suggested that they add 3 short turned Lex Ave locals between BB and 59th St. Those extra trains would have increased the service level by something like 25%.

A TWU shop steward emailed me that crew quarters would have to be built at 59th St. Such quarters required staffing. By the time everything was totaled up, those 3 extras required about 15 additional staff positions plus the capital expense of building the crew quarters.
