There are several assumptions that you are making but I am only going to point to one of them.Your words in context: "Let's assume that all the SAS entries would have used the downtown Lex. The same load levels could have been achieved with the addition of a max of 7 tph on the local track during the peak 8-9am hour. These extra trains could have been short turned at 3rd Ave-138th St. The running time between 3rd Ave-138th St and Brooklyn Bridge is 37 minutes or 75 minutes (1.25 hrs) for the round trip." --- I question your statement: "These extra trains could have been short turned at 3rd Ave-138th St." In the midst of the #6 Pelham Bay Express trains using the middle track and merging west of the station to the downtown track along with Parkchester local trains - a series of trains are also supposed to use the middle track/platform to terminate and relay trains at the peak am rush hour periods. I doubt it. Mike |
