IND mentality seemed to have been locals are to feed expresses, so they did not care if the Rockaways, Ozone Park, Woodhaven, and Parkside had to change at Jackson Hts. They were the same status as all the local stops between Forest Hills and Queens Plaza, served by the non-Manhattan GG no less.For Van Wyck, they had an airport service in mind, so it got a streamlined junction. For the RBB, they probably thought it would be a smaller market and with part of it already served by 2 BMT lines. I could see its revival as something on the order of London Overground. It is sort of a hybrid rapid transit and commuter rail with short trains on peripheral lines, and in the case of East London, a takeover of a rather decrepit Underground route in a dangerous area, all of which are now much improved. |
