I think it's consensus that it can't. Any G that relays at Queens Plaza must cut off all E, M, and R trains while it maneuvers onto the relay track. That's a heavy price to pay during rush hours when every passenger transfer available that would be at Queens Plaza (if the proposal was actualized) is already available at Court Square except to Broadway services.The fumigation of the G would have to occur between R trains and then it would have to smoothly cross the express track without messing up the E and M, and ideally while an F is merging ahead. That would take some impeccable timing during the rush hour! And Forest Hills. . .well. . .I don't know how much more it can take, even though on paper one would think it should be able to take much more. It's mostly the fumigating that's the problem I hear, but I am still bewildered by why it is so limited in its relaying abilities. |
