In the past I've said that the Kings Highway station of the 1970's (with the now missing switch) was a rather versatile station.The removal of that switch cut down on the versatility of the station for terminating trains, AND handling middle track express trains in BOTH directions. IF the MTA were to add new track switches to the Kings Highway station, it would be wonderful if a set of new switches were added both NORTH and SOUTH of the station. It would be utterly fantastic if both north and south of the Kings Highway station, both switch junctions could handle the terminating trains, AND handling middle track express trains. One could have on the center track at platform a Kings Highway F-train waiting for its scheduled time to leave, with a Kings Highway F-train on the out-bound local track discharging passengers and ready to move to the center track relay position "south" of the station before it returns to the platforms. While at the same time - either for the am-rush hours or the pm rush hours - middle track F-Coney Island express trains can freely move in and out of the station. That would be utterly fantastic!
