You can offset some of the lost service to Forest Hills by extending the G train to Forest Hills. From what I understand, the biggest bottleneck for Queens Blvd local service is turning the trains around at Forest Hills. With a line like the M diverted to the Rockaways, that should increase the available capacity.The speed issue into Manhattan is a big deal. The only thing I can think of which would add a faster route is to try something similar to a previous suggestion: run a connecting el to the J at Crescent St, with an extra track for peak express service. This track would run above the current J el until Broadway Junction, where it would merge with the current center track. This would allow express service all the way to Marcy Ave. Alternately, you can drop the express track and have it divide the skip-stop arrangement with the J, and go full express after Myrtle. |
