Doesn’t anyone remember the massive route changes of 1976 when the EE and K were eliminated? The route modifications were not that different from the current N to 96 St. In the 1976 changes, the north terminal of the B alternated between 168 St and 57/6 with the 57 St Bs running lcl on 6 Ave. Coming from Queens while all rush hour Ns operated lcl on Bway in the peak direction of traffic some trains went via bridge to Stl and some went to Whitehall and laid up, not too different from the N to 96 St instead of Astoria and nobody complained about the dual terminals on either line and unlike the situation with the N both those variations were in the peak direction of traffic. Also. aren’t the Ns that go to 96 St limited to a few AM intervals in the rush hour and not spread all day as some seem to indicate? As for PM Ns lvg 96/2 it’s of little consequence that those trains operate since they are operating against the peak direction of traffic and may save some passengers the need to change for Ns S/O 57 if they desire that service anyhow. |
