I think 6th Avenue could handle F, M and V services simultaneously. But to make it work, none of them would be able to exceed 10 tph and you’d need to end the E/M merge at Queens Plaza and eliminate Queens Blvd R service. The E/M merge would be replaced by the express E and F running through the 53rd St tunnel with the E running at least 18 tph to make up for the fewer F trains, while the M and V both run through 63rd. It’s either that or run the W between Whitehall and the RBB via the QB local tracks. |
