When creating timetables is there a significant difference when determining running time for a local trip versus express on the same line? Considering the various speed limits or timers, individual motormen way of operation, and the time it takes to switch tracks/merge.

Reflecting on the 1976 D train schedule:

At Kings Highway (arrival times exaggerated)

Local would arrive at 3:02pm
Express would arrive at 3:00pm

Both trains would arrive at Sheepshead Bay at 3:06pm and 3:03pm respectively. Express trains skipping Avenue U and Neck Road. It appears the saving of three minutes for a two minute departure difference.
