The answer currently is rather simple:One correction before we begin, the R does not relay in Manhattan, it uses the center track at Whitehall. So you're only removing one relay; the J's. Your RJ route would require putting the entire R fleet to bed at night because it can't enter the BMT Eastern. But on other hand, the J uses mostly R32s, which are banned from the Montague tube. This means you would need more than just the usual late night assignments for the J, you might need close to it's rush hour fleet to cover it and the short line R. Which would mean having to poach trains from the M, which would need them back in six hours. Which at the moment might be easy, but once the M goes back to normal it's not going to be easy. Just from a rolling stock logistics standpoint this would be hard to justify. |
