Posted by LuchAAA on Thu Feb 12 00:43:11 2026, in response to Re: Mamdani, G to Forest Hills on weekends thread, posted by Jackson Park B Train on Wed Feb 11 23:48:17 2026. Merging three services onto one track (each direction) is difficult.We see this all the time. For example, when all Manhattan-bound trains run express from Continental to Roosevelt, there is drama. Delays. This is because the R has to be merged onto the express track, and the E and F get plugged up behind it. Then time is lost communicating with customers meaning trains may dwell in the station longer. And this is normal with E, F and R's on weekends. Imagine adding another service, G's, and it would be a disaster. I have wondered how things would work out if only the G went to Continental on weekends and the R from 95 to Whitehall. I think G trains would be on time far more often than R trains. I think customers at local stops between CTL and Roosevelt would not mind because many are just trying to get to the express stop, Roosevelt, for the E or F or 7. But some are going through to Manhattan via 60th Street tunnel to Lexington and this is a big reason why my idea could not happen. |
