No, there would be trains added to the R to supplement the existing schedule thereby keeping scheduled headways constant. If the MTA could build decent sized yards in Arlington and near Tottenville, and get some use out of Clifton Shops they could pull the R out of Jamaica and run it to 57th (or 96th and 2nd Ave by the time this tunnel is completed) while the Q does the Queens Blvd Local to 71st Continental. At the moment a terminus at 57th is in a way ideal because the demand for northbound express trains on the Broadway BMT consists of just intra Manhattan riders and the N train is always a viable alternative for them in the event the R has a problem on its lengthy route. |
